description: São Paulo state’s vitiviniculture ranks second in Brazil, being characterized by the production of table grapes and wines derived from American and hybrid varieties. Despite its economic, social, and environmental benefits, the state’s vitiviniculture has witnessed an increasing dependence on grapes produced in other states over the last decade. Besides adding to the cost of producing wine in São Paulo, grape imports from the state of Rio Grande do Sul compromises not only product quality, but also the process of creating an identity for the product. To give a new impetus to the production of grapes and wines in São Paulo, the State of São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) developed a project called “Revitalizing São Paulo’s Vitivinicultural Chain,” a joint effort by the state’s Agriculture and Supply Secretariat, Federation of Industries, municipal governments, and main unions and cooperatives of the industry. Data about vitiviniculture was gathered from specific questionnaires given to grape growers and wine producers in the municipalities of Jarinu, Jundiaí, São Miguel Arcanjo, and São Roque. This information enabled the creation of an original database for the state’s sector. The analyses of São Paulo’s vitivinicultural chain conducted through this project allowed us to address policy issues focused on reinforcing special product attributes related to specific territorial resources. This process resulted from the valorization of the characteristic cultural diversity of the state, including the social values constructed by people of Italian, Japanese, and Portuguese heritage over the course of the region’s history. From this perspective, the project proposed differentiation strategies based on specific territorial resources, primarily typical grape varieties such as the Niagara and the IAC 138-22 “Máximo.” Thus, the strategies aimed at building an identity for the state’s wines include recovering the traditional cultural attributes of São Paulo’s vitiviniculture and developing the production of the local wine grape varieties.
Consumer responses to flattery during sales transactions : empirical evidence of the sinister attribution error
Creators: name: Main, Kelley J.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The aim of the current research was to examine consumer reactions to flattery using an attributional framework. The first study, using scenario methodology, illustrated that consumers made rational and irrational attributions for flattery. Consumers who were flattered prior to purchase accurately adjusted for the presence of ulterior motives and responded negatively to flattery whereas consumers who were flattered after purchase over accounted for the possibility of ulterior motives and responded more negatively than was warranted by the situation. The second study, a field experiment, demonstrated that consumers in a real shopping situation were even less likely to distinguish between when flattery occurred and responded simply to its presence or absence. This negativity in consumers flattered after purchase is evidence of the sinister attribution error; as consumers were overly suspicious of the motives and intentions of others. The third study, also a field experiment, demonstrated that even flattery preceded by a negative evaluation only resulted in a slightly more positive response from consumers. The contributions of the current research are discussed within their relevant literatures.
How fast do young star clusters expel their natal gas?: Estimating the upper limit of the gas expulsion time-scale

description: Formation of massive stars within embedded star clusters starts a complex interplay between their feedback, inflowing gas and stellar dynamics, which often includes close stellar encounters. Hydrodynamical simulations usually resort to substantial simplifications to model embedded clusters. Here, we address the simplification which approximates the whole star cluster by a single sink particle, which completely neglects the internal stellar dynamics. In order to model the internal stellar dynamics, we implement a Hermite predictor-corrector integration scheme to the hydrodynamic code FLASH. As we illustrate by a suite of tests, this integrator significantly outperforms the current leap-frog scheme, and it is able to follow the dynamics of small compact stellar systems without the necessity to soften the gravitational potential. We find that resolving individual massive stars instead of representing the whole cluster by a single energetic source has a profound influence on the gas component: for clusters of mass less than $\lesssim 3 \times 10^3 M_{\odot}$, it slows gas expulsion by a factor of $\approx 5$ to $\approx 1$ Myr, and it results in substantially more complex gas structures. With increasing cluster mass (up to $\approx 3\times 10^3 M_{\odot}$), the gas expulsion time-scale slightly decreases. However, more massive clusters ($\gtrsim 5\times 10^3 M_{\odot}$) are unable to clear their natal gas with photoionising radiation and stellar winds only if they form with a star formation efficiency (SFE) of $1/3$. This implies that the more massive clusters are either cleared with another feedback mechanism or they form with a SFE higher than $1/3$.

description: Albania is a transition country aspiring to become a member of EU, while it is expected that it will become Candidate member within 2012, enabling access to IPARD funding. EU integration implies more opportunities, in form of subsidies for rural and agriculture development, but also imposes standards related to quality and safety on one hand, and enhancement of efficiency on the other hand. More specifically, in order to be eligible for the coming IPARD funding, Albanian agriculture holdings and agro-processors, need to meet national and EU safety standards (see [1], [2] and [3]). In this upgrading process, the role that extension services can and should play is crucial. The Albanian agriculture extension services have undergone a drastic change from the time of the state-organized economy to the market economy, as also the private extension services have emerged. In this study, we look into current situation and future perspectives for extension agriculture services in fruits, vegetables and livestock subsectors, in order to identify: a) the present behaviour related to the use and provision of extension services; b) the (perceived) needs for technical assistance and Capacity Building (CB) from the perspective of service providers and clients (agriculture holdings and agro-processors) with regards to services related to quality and safety standards, certification etc. Despite improvements in some private and public services, such as cattle insemination and vaccinations, other services are poorly served, such as services related to quality/safety standards certification [9]. Further research on extension services in Albania is needed as availability of quality extension services is a key factor to achieve agriculture competitiveness in Albania. This is particularly important in the context of EU integration and in the light of multiple relationships developing with the globalised economy in terms of: a) support to extension services through donor activities; b) chain interplay between local and foreign agriculture and agri-food industry; c) growing competition even in the domestic market.

description: The objective of this paper is to analyse and quantify the spatial dimension of the CAP effects in an area of Northern Italy. The analysis is based on survey information about stated intentions of farm-household in two CAP scenarios, treated through statistical analysis intended to identify the potential determinants of different farm reactions, focusing on explicit spatial variables (altitude, LFA, agrarian regions) among explanatory variables. Altogether, the study shows the relevance of explicitly addressing the spatial effects of policies and also the differentiated spatial effect of policy on different dimensions of agricultural activities. However, the work also highlights the limitation of the location-based representation of the spatial dimension compared with both non-spatial variables and more functional variables underlying the spatial dimension.

Ce processus que l’on définit en tant qu’acculturation alimentaire peut être expliqué par la théorie des réseaux sociaux et est à la base de la diffusion des différents modes alimentaires. Cependant, la diffusion est source d’altération des produits et préparations alimentaires. Les auteurs analysent les différentes formes d’altération pour aboutir à trois scénarii de la transformation culturelle, technico-industrielle et sociale des produits et préparations alimentaires que l’on peut qualifier de « terroir ».

description: We present a study of the structure and kinematics of the triple-shell planetary nebula NGC 7662 based on long-slit echelle spectroscopic observations and HST archival narrow-band images. The structure of NGC 7662 main nebula consists of a central cavity surrounded by two concentric shells. The bright inner shell has a non-negligible thickness and the highest density in the nebula. The outer shell is filled with nebular material whose density profile shows a propto 1/r drop-off in the inner regions of the shell and flattens in the outermost regions. Both the inner and the outer shells can be described as prolate ellipsoids: the inner shell is more elongated, while the outermost layer of the outer shell expands faster. The physical structure of NGC 7662 is qualitatively consistent with the predictions of hydrodynamical simulations based on the interacting-stellar-wind models for planetary nebulae with a 0.605 solar mass central star. Models with a higher AGB wind velocity are needed for detailed comparisons.

Anoxia and Na⁺/H⁺ exchange activity in rat hippocampal neurons
Creators: name: Sheldon, Claire Alexis
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: In the present study, the effects of anoxia on intracellular pH (pH[sub i]) and intracellular free sodium concentration ([Na⁺][sub i]) were examined in isolated rat hippocampal neurons loaded with H⁺- and/or Na⁺-sensitive fluorophores, and the contribution of changes in Na⁺/H⁺ exchange activity to the changes in pH[sub i] and [Na⁺], observed during and after anoxia were assessed. This assessment was aided by the development of a microspectrofluorimetric technique which permitted concurrent measurements of pH[sub i] and [Na⁺][sub i] in the same neuron. I found that, in hippocampal neurons, Na⁺/H⁺ exchange activity was reduced shortly following the onset of anoxia, possibly as a result of declining internal ATP levels, and did not contribute to the increases in pH[sub i] or [Na⁺][sub i] observed at this time. In contrast, Na⁺/H⁺ exchange activity was stimulated immediately after anoxia and contributed to acid extrusion and Na⁺ influx during this particularly vulnerable period. As a result, the reported neuroprotective actions of Na⁺/H⁺ exchange inhibitors are likely mediated in the immediate postanoxic period, consequent upon reductions in acid extrusion and/or internal Na⁺ loading. A Zn²⁺ - sensitive H⁺ efflux pathway, possibly a voltage-activated H⁺ conductance activated by membrane depolarization, also contributed to acid extrusion during and immediately after anoxia and may act to limit the potentially detrimental activation of Na⁺/H⁺ exchange activity observed after anoxia. The final series of experiments identified additional mechanisms that contribute to the changes in [Na⁺][sub i] evoked by anoxia in cultured postnatal rat hippocampal neurons. Na⁺ influx occurred through multiple pathways, the relative contributions of which differed not only during and after anoxia but also in neurons maintained in culture for different durations of time. Understanding the fundamental cellular mechanisms that contribute to anoxia-evoked changes in pH[sub i] and [Na⁺][sub i] in mammalian central neurons may uncover novel therapeutic strategies for the treatment of stroke.

description: Using a canonical pump-probe experimental technique, we studied the terahertz (THz) waves generation and detection via optical rectification and mixing in Czochralski-grown periodically poled Mg:Y:LiNbO3 (PPLN) crystals. THz waves with frequencies at 1.37 THz and 0.68 THz as well as 1.8 THz were obtained for PPLN with nonlinear grating periods of 0.03 and 0.06 mm, respectively. A general theoretical model was developed by considering the dispersion and damping of low frequency phonon-polariton mode. Our results show that THz waves are generated in forward and backward directions via pumping pulse rectification. The generated THz waves depend on the spectral shape of the laser pulses, quasi-phase mismatches and dispersion characteristics of a crystal.

description: We introduce an efficient framework for computing the distance between collider events using the tools of Linearized Optimal Transport (LOT). This preserves many of the advantages of the recently-introduced Energy Mover's Distance, which quantifies the "work" required to rearrange one event into another, while significantly reducing the computational cost. It also furnishes a Euclidean embedding amenable to simple machine learning algorithms and visualization techniques, which we demonstrate in a variety of jet tagging examples. The LOT approximation lowers the threshold for diverse applications of the theory of optimal transport to collider physics.

description: The paper examines the impact of rural road improvement on high yielding variety technology adoption. Rural roads improvement enhances access to output and input markets and thus decreases cost of accessing high-yielding variety (HYV) seeds, fertilizers, pesticides and information on HYV cultivation technique, and further increases the relative profitability of HYV rice. Therefore, the paper hypothesizes that it induces farmers to increase HYV acreage and reduce traditional local variety rice acreage. This paper supports the hypothesis that road improvement increases HYV rice acreage using empirical analysis, while it does not find a statistically significant impact on local variety rice. The results are robust to different specifications and sample sizes. Therefore, the policy implications of this paper is that rural roads can be used to complement other efforts to promote technology adoption.

description: We investigate the influence of a perpendicular magnetic field on the spectral and spin properties of a ballistic quasi-one-dimensional electron system with Rashba effect. The magnetic field strongly alters the spin-orbit induced modification to the subband structure when the magnetic length becomes comparable to the lateral confinement. A new subband-dependent energy splitting at k=0 is found which can be much larger than the Zeeman splitting. This is due to the breaking of a combined spin orbital-parity symmetry.

description: Dynamic networks are used in a variety of fields to represent the structure and evolution of the relationships between entities. We present a model which embeds longitudinal network data as trajectories in a latent Euclidean space. A Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm is proposed to estimate the model parameters and latent positions of the actors in the network. The model yields meaningful visualization of dynamic networks, giving the researcher insight into the evolution and the structure, both local and global, of the network. The model handles directed or undirected edges, easily handles missing edges, and lends itself well to predicting future edges. Further, a novel approach is given to detect and visualize an attracting influence between actors using only the edge information. We use the case-control likelihood approximation to speed up the estimation algorithm, modifying it slightly to account for missing data. We apply the latent space model to data collected from a Dutch classroom, and a cosponsorship network collected on members of the U.S. House of Representatives, illustrating the usefulness of the model by making insights into the networks.

The temperature gradient introduced by this environment is then treated as an external perturbation. We propose a method to evaluate the heat current and the local temperature profile of the resulting stationary state as well as the heat conductivity in such systems. This method is similar to Kubo techniques used e.g. for electrical transport but extended here to the Liouville space.

description: The nebula Mz 3 has arguably the most complex bipolar morphology, consisting of three nested pairs of bipolar lobes and an equatorial ellipse. Its three pairs of bipolar lobes share the same axis of symmetry, but have very different opening angles and morphologies: the innermost pair of bipolar lobes shows closed lobe morphology, while the other two have open lobes with cylindrical and conical shapes, respectively. We have carried out high-dispersion spectroscopic observations of Mz 3, and detected distinct kinematic properties among the different morphological components. The expansion characteristics of the two outer pairs of lobes suggest that they originated in an explosive event, whereas the innermost pair of lobes resulted from the interaction of a fast wind with the surrounding material. The equatorial ellipse is associated with a fast equatorial outflow which is unique among bipolar nebulae. The dynamical ages of the different structures in Mz 3 suggest episodic bipolar ejections, and the distinct morphologies and kinematics among these different structures reveal fundamental changes in the system between these episodic ejections.

description: The historical fertility transition is the process by which much of Europe and North America went from high to low fertility in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This transformation is central to recent accounts of long-run economic growth. Prior to the transition, women bore as many as eight children each, and the elasticity of fertility with respect to incomes was positive. Today, many women have no children at all, and the elasticity of fertility with respect to incomes is zero or even negative. This paper discusses the large literature on the historical fertility transition, focusing on what we do and do not know about the process. I stress some possible misunderstandings of the demographic literature, and discuss an agenda for future work.

description: We show empirically using panel data at the plot and farm level and based on a model incorporating supervision costs, risk, credit-market imperfections and scale-economies associated with mechanization that small-scale farming is inefficient in India. Larger farms are more profitable per acre, more mechanized, less constrained in input use after bad shocks, and employ less per-acre labor than small farms. Based on our structural estimates of the effects of farm size on labor use and the distribution of Indian landholdings, we estimate that over 20% of the Indian agricultural labor force is surplus if minimum farm scale is 20 acres.
A Novel Configuration Enabling Muscles to Recycle Mechanical Energy: Pulling ATP Synthetase by Sliding Filament
Creators: name: Jiayuan, Zhang
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019
Subjects: sliding filament; ATP synthetase; recycle energy

description: The mechanism by which muscle cells convert chemical energy into mechanical energy can be explained by the sliding filament model: under the regulation of calcium ions, cross-bridge tracts actin and causes relative displacement, which is reflected in the contraction of muscle at the macro level. Conversely, are there any mechanisms for converting mechanical energy into chemical energy directly in organisms? As a "molecular pump", ATP synthase is driven by proton concentration difference. But If ATP synthase can be directly driven by a mechanical structure (in the absence of protons) like transverse bridge in muscle cells, mechanical energy will be converted into chemical energy in ATP. Imagine the following structure, as shown in the figure: each group of myosin in muscle cells corresponds to a group of actin and ATP synthase, which respectively perform work and recover energy. When the muscle needs to move normally, calcium ions enter the muscle mass, cross the bridge and leave the ATP synthase rotor and pull the actin, converting the chemical energy into mechanical energy. When the muscle needs to recover energy, some specific ions enter the sarcoplasm, breaking away from the actin and pulling the rotor of ATP synthase, thus converting mechanical energy into chemical energy. Of course, scientists have not yet found these structures and mechanisms in animals, which suggests that after a long period of natural selection, animals may not need or be able to recycle energy in this way.

Electronic Raman response in anisotropic metals
Creators: name: Einzel, Dietrich
name: Manske, Dirk
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Using a generalized response theory we derive the electronic Raman response function for metals with anisotropic relaxation rates. The calculations account for the long--range Coulomb interaction and treat the collision operator within a charge conserving relaxation time approximation. We extend earlier treatments to finite wavenumbers ($|{\bf q}|\ll k_{\rm F}$) and incorporate inelastic electron--electron scattering besides elastic impurity scattering. Moreover we generalize the Lindhard density response function to the Raman case. Numerical results for the quasiparticle scattering rate and the Raman response function for cuprate superconductors are presented.

description: Aim of this paper was to find some correlation, using a model of linear regression, between rural development and rural district in two different period of study. The analysis is divided in two parts to compare two different stages of application of II pillar of Common agriculture policy from 2000-2006 to 2007-2013. European funds, allocated to guarantee a generational turnover, are something of very important for rural development in Italy and the rural district is able to be a centre of propulsion for a well balanced growth of rural areas and it can be an element of attraction for farmers.
Model Building from Asymptotic Safety with Higgs and Flavor Portals

description: We perform a comprehensive search for Standard Model extensions inspired by asymptotic safety. Our models feature a singlet matrix scalar field, three generations of vector-like leptons, and direct links to the Higgs and flavor sectors via new Yukawa and portal couplings. A novel feature is that the enlarged scalar sector may spontaneously break lepton flavor universality. We provide a complete two-loop renormalization group analysis of the running gauge, Yukawa, and quartic couplings to find ultraviolet fixed points and the BSM critical surface of parameters, $i.e.$ the set of boundary conditions at the TeV scale for which models remain well-behaved and predictive up to the Planck scale without encountering Landau poles or instabilities. This includes templates for asymptotically safe Standard Model extensions which match the measured values of gauge couplings and the Higgs, top, and bottom masses. We further detail the phenomenology of our models covering production, decay, fermion mixing, anomalous magnetic moments, effects from scalar mixing and chiral enhancement, and constraints on model parameters from data. Signatures at proton-proton and lepton colliders such as lepton flavor violation and displaced vertices, and the prospect for electric dipole moments or charged lepton-flavor-violating type processes, are also indicated.

description: We argue that the order of the chiral transition for N_f=2 is a sensitive probe of the QCD vacuum, in particular of the mechanism of color confinement. A strategy is developed to investigate the order of the transition by use of finite size scaling analysis. An in-depth numerical investigation is performed with staggered fermions on lattices with N_t=4 and N_s=12,16,20,24,32 and quark masses am_q ranging from 0.01335 to 0.307036. The specific heat and a number of susceptibilities are measured and compared with the expectations of an O(4) second order and of a first order phase transition. A second order transition in the O(4) and O(2) universality classes are excluded. Substantial evidence emerges for a first order transition. A detailed comparison with previous works is performed.

description: This working paper documents the construction of the 1994 and 1995 Mozambican social accounting matrices (SAMs). The aggregate macro-SAM is called MACSAM, and the disaggregated version is MOZAM. With 13 agricultural and two agricultural processing activities, the primary sectors are particularly well represented in MOZAM. There are also 40 commodities, and the three factors of production: agricultural and non-agricultural labour, and capital. Two household types (urban and rural) are identified, and government expenditure is divided into two separate accounts, recurrent government and government investment. MOZAM includes a number of innovative features, partly reflected in household demand, where a distinction is made between home consumption of own production and private consumption of marketed-commodities. Home consumption avoids trade and transport margins. Thus, MOZAM captures prevailing incentives for households to avoid markets and function more as autonomous production/consumption units. The disaggregation of household demand brings marketing margins in focus in relation to decisions regarding production. However, transactions costs are also important for exported and imported commodities. Domestic, export and import marketing margins are therefore explicitly broken out for each activity in MOZAM. Procedures used to balance MACSAM and MOZAM are also documented, including the use of maximum entropy methods to estimate the SAMs, which make efficient use of all available data in a framework that incorporates prior information and constraints.

description: The edges of ionized (HII) regions are important sites for the formation of (high-mass) stars. Indeed, at least 30% of the galactic high mass star formation is observed there. The radiative and compressive impact of the HII region could induce the star formation at the border following different mechanisms such as the Collect & Collapse (C&C) or the Radiation Driven Implosion (RDI) models and change their properties. We study the properties of two zones located in the Photo Dissociation Region (PDR) of the Galactic HII region RCW120 and discussed them as a function of the physical conditions and young star contents found in both clumps. Using the APEX telescope, we mapped two regions of size 1.5'$\times$1.5' toward the most massive clump of RCW120 hosting young massive sources and toward a clump showing a protrusion inside the HII region and hosting more evolved low-mass sources. The $^{12}$CO($J=3-2$), $^{13}$CO($J=3-2$) and C$^{18}$O($J=3-2$) lines are used to derive the properties and dynamics of these clumps. We discuss their relation with the hosted star-formation. The increase of velocity dispersion and $T_{ex}$ are found toward the center of the maps, where star-formation is observed with Herschel. Furthermore, both regions show supersonic Mach number. No strong evidences have been found concerning the impact of far ultraviolet (FUV) radiation on C$^{18}$O photodissociation. The fragmentation time needed for the C&C to be at work is equivalent to the dynamical age of RCW120 and the properties of region B are in agreement with bright-rimmed clouds. It strengthens the fact that, together with evidences of compression, C&C might be at work at the edges of RCW120. Additionally, the clump located at the eastern part of the PDR is a good candidate of pre-existing clump where star-formation may be induced by the RDI mechanism.
