description: Conventional estimates of the economic return to agricultural research use market prices for the values of products and inputs; on this basis, economic rates of return are typically well above the cost of capital, suggesting that more investment in research would be socially desirable. But these estimates may be incorrect if, as is often the case, market prices are distorted by market failures or government policies and hence do not reflect social values. This paper presents a simple, partial-equilibrium methodology with which to improve the measurement of social returns to research by taking account of multiple distortions in the market prices of products, inputs and foreign exchange. The method also takes account of variation in domestic and world prices, making a product tradable in some years and nontradable in others. The method is applied to the case of Hageen-Dura 1 (HD-1), Sub-Saharan Africa's first commercially successful hybrid sorghum. HD-1 was released in the Sudan in 1983. From the start of research in 1979 to 1992, the HD-1 breeding program had an estimated IRR of 97% when all major policies in the sorghum market, the fertilizer market, and the exchange rate are taken into account. The high rate of return to HD-1 research was due to the program's low cost and rapid payoff, pointing to the potential value of small adaptive research programs, taking full advantage of foreign technology and genetic material to produce locally-appropriate crosses in a short period of time. Even in the highly distorted economies of Africa, such programs can yield very high payoffs.
New order parameters in the Potts model on a Cayley tree

description: For the $q-$state Potts model new order parameters projecting on a group of spins instead of a single spin are introduced. On a Cayley tree this allows the physical interpretation of the Potts model at noninteger values q of the number of states. The model can be solved recursively. This recursion exhibits chaotic behaviour changing qualitatively at critical values of $q_0$ . Using an additional order parameter belonging to a group of zero extrapolated size the additional ordering is related to a percolation problem. This percolation distinguishes different phases and explains the critical indices of percolation class occuring at the Peierls temperature.

subject: Cost-effectiveness of credit delivery system

description: Both informal and formal loans matter in agriculture. However, formal lenders provide many more production loans than informal lenders, often at a cost (mostly loan default cost) higher than what they can recover. For example, the Agricultural Development Bank of Pakistan (ADBP), providing about 90% of formal loans in rural areas, incurs high loan default costs. Yet, like other governments, the Government of Pakistan supports the formal scheme on the grounds that lending to agriculture is a high risk activity because of covariate risk. Hence, such policies are often based on a market failure argument. As farm credit schemes are subsidised, policy makers must know if these schemes are worth supporting. Using a recent large household survey data from rural Pakistan (Rural Financial Market Studies or RFMS), we have attempted to estimate the effectiveness of the ADBP as a credit delivery institution. A two-stage method that takes the endogeneity of borrowing into account is used to estimate credit impact. Results reveal that ADBP contributes to household welfare and that its impact is higher for smallholders than for large holders. Nevertheless, large holders receive the bulk of ADBP finance. The ADBP is, thus, not a cost-effective institution in delivering rural finance. Its cost-effectiveness can be improved by reducing its loan default cost and partially by targeting smallholders in agriculture where credit yields better results. © 2003 Elsevier Science B. V.

description: We describe how we have used tight binding calculations as a quick, efficient tool to search for possible structures of Bi nanolines on Si(001). After identifying promising candidate structures, we have concentrated on these with \textit{ab initio} electronic structure techniques. The energetics of the tight binding are shown to be in good agreement with the density functional calculations and with experimental observations, and have proved invaluable in the search for a structure, validating the use of tightbinding as a search tool.

description: Many investment decisions of agribusiness firms, such as when to invest in an emerging market or whether to expand the capacity of the firm, involve irreversible investment and uncertainty about demand, cost or competition. This paper uses an option-value model to examine the factors affecting an agribusiness firm's decision whether and how much to invest in an emerging market under demand uncertainty. Demand uncertainty and irreversibility of investment make investment less desirable than the net present value (NPV) rule indicates. The inactive firm is more reluctant to enter the market when it takes into account demand uncertainty because it preserves the opportunity of making a better investment later. The active firm is more reluctant to abandon the investment because there is an option value of keeping the operation alive. There is a greater distance between the entry and exit thresholds under the option-value approach than under the NPV rule due to demand uncertainty. The results have implications for agribusiness decision-making. © 2003 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Erdös-Rényi phase transition in the Axelrod model on complete graphs

description: The Axelrod model has been widely studied since its proposal for social influence and cultural dissemination. In particular, the community of statistical physics focused on the presence of a phase transition as a function of its two main parameters, $F$ and $Q$. In this work, we show that the Axelrod model undergoes a second order phase transition in the limit of $F \rightarrow \infty $ on a complete graph. This transition is equivalent to the Erdös-Rényi phase transition in random networks when it is described in terms of the probability of interaction at the initial state, which depends on a scaling relation between $F$ and $Q$. We also found that this probability plays a key role in sparse topologies by collapsing the transition curves for different values of the parameter $F$.

description: This survey provides a structured picture of 40 years of literature which uses welfare economic tools to judge agricultural policy. Challenges and developments of normative agricultural policy analysis are discussed in an easily accessible graphical framework. It is shown how the literature has gone from examining a very small discrete set of simple policies to a much broader (often continuous) set of policies that combine policy instruments simultaneously. The importance of the Pareto criterion, used to explore the limits of how government can affect welfare, is revealed. Moreover, given the importance of the objective of income redistribution in agricultural policy, agricultural economists have often departed from the purely efficiency-oriented tradition in economics. It is shown that they have tried to incorporate equity considerations by either adding these criteria as constraints to the social welfare function, or directly incorporating these criteria in the functional form of the social welfare function.

description: Data from a 1998 survey of farming households in Kenya is used to estimate the effects of poor rural road infrastructure (and high market access costs) on the structure of smallholder farm production. Simultaneous estimation of cost and input share equations reveals rational responses by farmers to high access costs. In the expected continued absence of major investments in rural infrastructure in countries such as Kenya, the policy challenge is to identify and catalyse institutional innovations that reduce a range of transaction costs, increase financial liquidity, increase social capital, and reduce risk. © 2003 Elsevier Science B.V.

The organic materials investigated here are: planar methylated ladder type poly para-phenylene, semi-planar polyfluorene, and non-planar para hexaphenyl. In the longer-chain polymers the photoluminescence transition energies blue shift with increasing temperatures. The conjugated molecules, on the other hand, red shift their transition energies with increasing temperatures. Empirical models that explain the temperature dependence of the band gap energies in inorganic semiconductors can be extended to explain the temperature dependence of the transition energies in conjugated molecules.

description: Prenatal cytogenetic evaluation is a key tool for identifying alterations in pregnant women with high risk for fetal chromosomal abnormalities (CA). In Colombia, there are not large-scale reports about the prevalence and pattern of CA in prenatal cytogenetic analysis. A descriptive study was performed from registers of prenatal cytogenetic analysis on amniotic fluid (AF), chorionic villus biopsy (CVS), and fetal blood (FB) samples sent to the specialized laboratory of the Clínica Universitaria Colombia between 2013 and 2019. The prevalence of CA was 20.9%. The trisomies 21, 18, 13, and monosomy X were the most frequent aneuploidies, and the derivative chromosomes were the most frequent structural abnormalities. Although the rate of CA was higher in women over the age of 35 years old; monosomy X, unbalanced rearrangements, and microduplications were associated with the group of women under the age of 35 (p < .05). Trisomies 21 and 18 were the most common aneuploidies identified by FISH and were found to be altered in 52% of the aCGH studies. Ultrasonographic markers associated with CA were the most frequent clinical indication. In Colombia, the invasive prenatal cytogenetic analysis continues being an important diagnostic tool available for pregnant women with high risk for fetal CA.

description: We use particle-in-magnetohydrodynamics-cells to model particle acceleration and magnetic field amplification in a high Mach, parallel shock in three dimensions and compare the result to 2-D models. This allows us to determine whether 2-D simulations can be relied upon to yield accurate results in terms of particle acceleration, magnetic field amplification and the growth rate of instabilities. Our simulations show that the behaviour of the gas and the evolution of the instabilities are qualitatively similar for both the 2-D and 3-D models, with only minor quantitative differences that relate primarily to the growth speed of the instabilities. The main difference between 2-D and 3-D models can be found in the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of the non-thermal particles. The 2-D simulations prove to be more efficient, accelerating a larger fraction of the particles and achieving higher velocities. We conclude that, while 2-D models are sufficient to investigate the instabilities in the gas, their results have to be treated with some caution when predicting the expected SED of a given shock.

description: Oryza rufipogon Griff., or “Rufi” in the Philippines, was previously known to be found only in Lake Apo, Bukidnon. However, a new population was identified in Lake Napalit in the same province. A better understanding of the genetic diversity of both Rufi populations using molecular methods may be beneficial to further ascertain its usefulness in rice breeding and in the development of effective conservation strategies. Population genetic analysis was conducted to estimate the degree of genetic diversity and population structure of the two Philippine Rufi populations using 98 genome-wide simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. Four Oryza sativa indica and three O. sativa japonica cultivars were added for comparison. Results indicate that both Rufi populations exhibit low genetic diversity but with significant population structure and differentiation. Low genetic diversity suggests that both populations might be in a genetic bottleneck, perhaps due to observed unsustainable farming practices near their habitat and lack of awareness among locals of their importance. Also, geographical isolation that prevented gene flow between the two populations, as well as the unique climatic conditions between the two lakes might have contributed to the significant population structuring and differentiation. Thus, in situ and ex situ conservation should be observed for both Rufi populations in the Philippines.

description: Plutonium metal exhibits an anomalously large softening of its bulk modulus at elevated temperatures that is made all the more extraordinary by the finding that it occurs irrespective of whether the thermal expansion coefficient is positive, negative or zero --- representing an extreme departure from conventional Grüneisen scaling. We show here that the cause of this softening is the compressibility of plutonium's thermally excited electronic configurations, which has thus far not been considered in thermodynamic models. We show that when compressible electronic configurations are thermally activated, they invariably give rise to a softening of bulk modulus regardless of the sign their contribution to the thermal expansion. The electronically driven softening of the bulk modulus is shown to be in good agreement with elastic moduli measurements performed on the gallium-stabilized $δ$ phase of plutonium over a range of temperatures and compositions, and is shown to grow rapidly at small concentrations of gallium and at high temperatures, where it becomes extremely sensitive to hydrostatic pressure.

However we find a small spin density ~4% of the total Mn spin) on the apical O(2) oxygen atom at both 100 K and 220 K and we suggest that this is due to covalency effects. Surprisingly we find no evidence of spin on the other apical oxygen O(1) suggesting that the Mn eg electron distribution along the c-axis is highly anisotropic.

title: Changing discourses and mediation in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict : towards the Declaration of Principles 1993.
Creators: name: Abi-Ezzi, Karen
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2022

description: This thesis focuses on the role of mediators in the process of discursively constructing the dominant narrative erecting the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In seeking to concentrate on specific mediation processes in the conflict, culminating in the Declaration of Principles, research reveals the highly interactive nature of changing discourses, underpinned by a complex, political process of textual interweaving and overlap that defines the conflict. Much of the literature addressing mediation theory builds on a positivist epistemology which separates fact from value and unquestioningly proceeds from the premise that words mirror the world they describe. Within such a context, mediators remain external to the conflict either arbitrating or facilitating negotiations between the protagonists, but never becoming part of it, contributing to its construction. The application of discourse analysis to the study of mediation challenges this core premise, arguing that any intervention necessarily involves a process of reinterpretation or re- definition of the conflict, engendered by the mediator him or herself. Underpinned by a process of change, the conflict is impinged upon by a plethora of external as well as internal parties to the conflict. These interventions generate a new discourse which interacts with other narratives within the same discursive realm or domain. In this thesis, the term `discourses' refers to those narrative structures in place which enable or constrain political movement in a particular direction at a particular moment in time. Identifying a highly interactive discursive process removes the spotlight away from a narrow and exclusionist conceptualisation of mediation as pertaining to the immediate forum in which negotiations between protagonists and a third party unfold, towards a broader, more inclusive understanding of what the process entails.

We find the general form of the finite-size corrections to these quantities, as well as explicit formulas for the first coefficients of each expansion. We analyze the implications of these findings on the renormalization-group description of the model.

description: In a Kondo lattice system, suppression of effective Kondo coupling leads to the breakdown of the heavy-electron metal and a change in the electronic structure. Spin triplet superconductivity in the Kondo lattice UTe2 appears to be associated with spin fluctuations originating from incipient ferromagnetic order. Here we show clear evidence of twofold enhancement of spin-triplet superconductivity near the pressure-driven suppression of the Kondo coherence, implying that superconductivity is strengthened by the affiliated growth of both spin and charge fluctuations. The coherent Kondo state discontinuously transitions to ferromagnetic order at higher pressures. Application of magnetic field tunes the system back across a first-order phase boundary. Straddling this phase boundary, we find another example of reentrant superconductivity in UTe2. In addition to spin fluctuations associated with ferromagnetism, our results show that a Kondo-driven Fermi surface instability may be playing a role in stabilizing spin triplet superconductivity.

description: We present a general procedure for determining possible (nonuniform) magnetic fields such that the Pauli equation becomes quasi-exactly solvable (QES) with an underlying $sl(2)$ symmetry. This procedure makes full use of the close connection between QES systems and supersymmetry. Of the ten classes of $sl(2)$-based one-dimensional QES systems, we have found that nine classes allow such construction.

This reformulation is suitable to generate arbitrary duality-invariant nonlinear systems including those with higher derivatives.

description: Let $G$ be an almost simple simply connected group over $\BC$, and let $\Bun^a_G(\BP^2,\BP^1)$ be the moduli scheme of principal $G$-bundles on the projective plave $\BP^2$, of second Chern class $a$, trivialized along a line $\BP^1\subset \BP^2$. We define the Uhlenbeck compactification $\fU^a_G$ of $\Bun^a_G(\BP^2,\BP^1)$, which classifies, roughly, pairs $(\F_G,D)$, where $D$ is a 0-cycle on $\BA^2=\BP^2-\BP^1$ of degree $b$, and $\F_G$ is a point of $\Bun^{a-b}_G(\BP^2,\BP^1)$, for varying $b$. In addition, we calculate the stalks of the Intersection Cohomology sheaf of $\fU^a_G$. To do that we give a geometric realization of Kashiwara's crystals for affine Kac-Moody algebras.

description: Paul Johnson, the renowned historian, ends his book "A History of the Modern World" with the following statement: "A prime discovery of modern times is that reason plays little part in our affairs." This by way 'of introduction serves to remind us to be humble when trying to predict the possible outcome of various forces which will have a major influence on future events. One way of increasing the accuracy of such predictions is to look to history to assist us in identifying these forces. For this reason, this paper attempts to derive scenarios for the 1990s from a historical perspective.

description: We analyze the early-time isotropic cosmology in the so-called energy-momentum-squared gravity (EMSG). In this theory, a $T_{μν}T^{μν}$ term is added to the Einstein-Hilbert action, which has been shown to replace the initial singularity by a regular bounce. We show that this is not the case, and the bouncing solution obtained does not describe our Universe since it belongs to a different solution branch. The solution branch that corresponds to our Universe, while nonsingular, is geodesically incomplete. We analyze the conditions for having viable regular-bouncing solutions in a general class of theories that modify gravity by adding higher order matter terms. Applying these conditions on generalizations of EMSG that add a $\left(T_{μν}T^{μν}\right)^{n}$ term to the action, we show that the case of $n=5/8$ is the only one that can give a viable bouncing solution, while the $n>5/8$ cases suffer from the same problem as EMSG, i.e. they give nonsingular, geodesically incomplete solutions. Furthermore, we show that the $1/2

description: We study the low-lying energy clustering patterns of quantum antiferromagnets with p sublattices (in particular p=4). We treat each sublattice as a large spin, and using second-order degenerate perturbation theory, we derive the effective (biquadratic) Hamiltonian coupling the p large spins. In order to compare with exact diagonalizations, the Hamiltonian is explicitly written for a finite-size lattice, and it contains information on energies of excited states as well as the ground state. The result is applied to the face-centered-cubic Type I antiferromagnet of spin 1/2, including second-neighbor interactions. A 32-site system is exactly diagonalized, and the energy spectrum of the low-lying singlets follows the analytically predicted clustering pattern.
