description: The objective of this research was to estimate adults' willingness to pay to reduce health risks to their or other families's infants, the latter to test for altruism. A choice experiment was conducted by having adults pay for bottled water for infants to reduce infants' exposure to nitrates in drinking water. Since nitrates only affect infants' health, we have isolated the adults' willingness to pay just for infants' health by buying bottled water to avoid infants' nitrate intake. Respondents were separated into two treatments, one with hypothetical choices, and the other where respondents were told that one of their four choices would be binding, and they would actually buy bottled water using money given to them at the beginning of the experiment. Results indicate that the marginal willingness to pay for a .001 reduction in risk of shock, brain damage and mortality in the real cash treatment was $2, $3.50 and $10, respectively. In the hypothetical treatment these amounts were $13, $23 and $64, indicating substantial hypothetical bias for the risk reductions. Nonetheless, in both treatments the relative marginal values across the severity of risk reductions are sensible, with willingness to pay to avoid the less severe health effects (e.g., shock) being much less than for the more serious effects such as brain damage and death. While the ratio of hypothetical WTP to actual WTP was rather high at a factor of nearly seven, such degree of hypothetical bias has been found in other experiments (Neil et al., 1994). This high hypothetical bias may be due to the nature of the good being valued, i.e. infant health. Many people express a very strong desire to protect infants, since infants cannot control their own health outcomes. Several statistical tests consistently confirmed that the marginal WTP for the risk reduction was not influenced by whether the individual was buying for his or her own infant or buying for another infant. This suggests there is a high degree of altruism reflected in our WTP results. This altruism continued to hold even when we focused solely on the consequential treatment where real money was involved.

Lepisosteus occidentalis: COPE, 1877, p. 574.
Scales and vertebrae of Lepisosteus occidentalis are some of the more common elements of the Judith River fauna. The widespread occurrence of this gar in most of the localities of the Cretaceous and Paleocene of Montana, Wyoming, and adjoining states makes it an excellent marker for microvertebrate localities (Estes, 1964, p. 43). It closely resembles and probably occupied an ecologic niche similar to that occupied by the large Recent alligator gar, L. spatula, which at present is restricted to the large streams and rivers around the Gulf of Mexico.
Originally described as Lepidotus by Leidy (1856, p. 73), the material was referred to two species, L. occidentalis, on the basis of five scales, and L. haydeni, on a single scale. Later, Cope (1877, p. 574) put L. haydeni in synonymy with L. occidentalis. Reference of other elements of the gar were made from the Hell Creek Formation, Montana, by Brown (1907); Lance Formation, Wyoming, by Williston (1902); and other Upper Cretaceous formations of Colorado by Marsh (1 896b).

description: Aiming the medicinal potential of Croton blanchetianus leaves, the spray-drier extract (SDE) and the effervescent pre-formulation (EGCb) were evaluated for their acute oral toxicity, gastroprotective and antifungal effects. The phytochemical profile by high-performance liquid chromatography, total flavonoid content and total polyphenol content were performed. For the development of the effervescent pre-formulation (EGCb), the wet granulation technique was used, and its characterization and phytochemical profile were performed. Swiss mice were used for toxicity evaluation and gastroprotective activity against ethanol-induced ulcers. Antifungal activity was done against Candida spp. strains, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), and minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC). The animals showed no toxic effects when the 2000 mg/kg dose of SDE was orally administered. The SDE promoted the gastroprotective effect in all doses, as well, as the effervescent pre-formulation at 200 mg/kg. The antifungal activity achieved MIC and MFC of 1000 μg/mL for SDE and EGCb, against C. albicans and C. glabrata, and a MIC of 500 μg/mL and MFC of 1000 μg/mL of SDE and 500 μg/mL of EGCb for the C. auris strain. Given the above, this study showed that the secondary metabolites present in the leaves of C. blanchetianus, confirmed its therapeutic potential, promoting the search for new knowledge and options for future pharmaceutical formulations.

description: We study the displacement memory effect and its connection with the extended-BMS symmetries near the horizon of black holes. We show there is a permanent shift in the geodesic deviation vector relating two nearby timelike geodesics placed close to the horizon of black holes, upon the passage of gravitational waves. We also relate this memory effect with the asymptotic symmetries near the horizon of asymptotic black hole spacetimes. The shift of the relative position of the detectors is shown to be induced by a combination of BMS generators near the horizon. The displacement memory effect near the horizon possesses similarities to the same obtained in the far region.

description: We have measured the mechanical loss of a dielectric multilayer reflective coating (ion-beam sputtered SiO$_2$ and Ta$_2$O$_5$) in cooled mirrors. The loss was nearly independent of the temperature (4 K $\sim$ 300 K), frequency, optical loss, and stress caused by the coating, and the details of the manufacturing processes. The loss angle was $(4 \sim 6) \times 10^{-4}$. The temperature independence of this loss implies that the amplitude of the coating thermal noise, which is a severe limit in any precise measurement, is proportional to the square root of the temperature. Sapphire mirrors at 20 K satisfy the requirement concerning the thermal noise of even future interferometric gravitational wave detector projects on the ground, for example, LCGT.

Lagrangian reconstruction of cosmic velocity fields

description: We discuss a Lagrangian reconstruction method of the velocity field from galaxy redshift catalog that takes its root in the Euler equation. This results in a ``functional'' of the velocity field which must be minimized. This is helped by an algorithm solving the minimization of cost-flow problems. The results obtained by applying this method to cosmological problems are shown and boundary effects happening in real observational cases are then discussed. Finally, a statistical model of the errors made by the reconstruction method is proposed.

Net Farm Income, Market Prices and Agricultural Productivity Growth in the United States

Year: 2007
Subjects: Productivity Analysis

description: If the claimants of net farm income are operators and unpaid family members, net farm income can be expressed as a real implicit wage per hour of work. Bennet indicators are used to decompose changes in the real implicit wage into input and output price change components and partial factor productivity growth (PFPG). PFPG is the difference between output growth and the growth of all inputs but operator and unpaid family labor. Data from the ERS production account for U.S. agriculture for 1948-2002 are used. The results show that, on average, positive PFPG was either partially or fully offset by the output and input price components. These results suggest that the accepted wisdom namely that agricultural productivity growth is key to the sector's prosperity has not taken into account the effect of output and input market price changes that happen at the same time.

description: We consider the constraints that can be imposed on a wide class of Inflation models in modified gravity scenarios in which the Friedmann equation is modified by the inclusion of $ρ^2$ terms, where $ρ$ is the total energy density. In particular we obtain the reheating temperature and gravitino abundance associated with the end of inflation. Whereas models of chaotic inflation and natural inflation can easily avoid the conventional gravitino overproduction problem, we show that supersymmetric hybrid inflation models (driven by both F and D-terms) do not work in the $ρ^2$ dominated era. We also study inflation driven by exponetial potentials in this modified background, and show that the gravitino production is suppressed enough to avoid there being a problem, although other conditions severely constrain these models.

Exploring the Cost Effectiveness of Land Conservation Auctions and Payment Policies

description: Until recently public efforts to encourage conservation on private land in many countries has primarily been through uniform payment policies. Auctions are increasingly used as a payment mechanism to acquire public benefits such as conservation actions that provide environmental improvements on private land (e.g. the US Conservation Reserve Program (CRP). The economic rationale for use of auctions is that they create decentralised incentives to offer bids at close to the true landholder opportunity costs, even when the implementing agency holds little information about these opportunity costs. This paper assesses the cost of a case study auction relative to four payment policies that use varying levels of information strategically to reduce rent payment and to prioritise funding based on environmental value. The results suggest that the estimated cost savings achievable with the discriminant price auction for conservation contracts depends on the policy to which the auction outcomes are compared. Auction cost savings are likely to be greatest when compared to policy alternatives involving little effort to discriminate amongst offers based on differences in landholder opportunity costs. A further key finding is that, for this case study, most of the savings resulting from the discriminant price auction could be attributed to the use of the environmental benefits index in project ranking and selection.
Dynamics of the Bose-Einstein condensation: analogy with the collapse dynamics of a classical self-gravitating Brownian gas

description: We consider the dynamics of a gas of free bosons within a semi-classical Fokker-Planck equation for which we give a physical justification. In this context, we find a striking similarity between the Bose-Einstein condensation in the canonical ensemble, and the gravitational collapse of a gas of classical self-gravitating Brownian particles. The paper is mainly devoted to the complete study of the Bose-Einstein ``collapse'' within this model. We find that at the Bose-Einstein condensation temperature $T_c$, the chemical potential $μ(t)$ vanishes exponentially with a universal rate that we compute exactly. Below $T_c$, we show analytically that $\sqrt{μ(t)}$ vanishes linearly in a finite time $t_{coll}$. After $t_{coll}$, the mass of the condensate grows linearly with time and saturates exponentially to its equilibrium value for large time. We also give analytical results for the density scaling functions, for the corrections to scaling, and for the exponential relaxation time. Finally, we find that the equilibration time (above $T_c$) and the collapse time $t_{coll}$ (below $T_c$), both behave like $-T_c^{-3}\ln|T-T_c|$, near $T_c$.

В теории государства и права, с учетом современной мировой практики, унитаризм вполне может сочетаться с самостоятельностью субъектов, а федерализм с сильной центральной властью. Автор статьи исследует вопросы оптимального возможного сочетания унитаризма и федерализма. В числе мер, необходимых к принятию в целях осовременивания (модернизации) федеративных отношений, могут быть: реформирование государственного устройства переход к модели унитарного федерализма); унификация практики разграничения полномочий и предметов ведения федерального центра и субъектов федерации; развитие местного самоуправления; повышение ответственности государственных органов и местного самоуправления за состояние социального самочувствия населения. Достижение оптимального варианта федеративного устройства в России предполагает необходимость предварительного всестороннего анализа состояния российского федерализма, построенного на принципах, сформулированных в Конституции РФ 1993 года, принципах, которые по своему характеру соответствовали интересам либерально-демократического переустройства России.

description: We report on the characterization of heating rates and photo-induced electric charging on a microfabricated surface ion trap with integrated waveguides. Microfabricated surface ion traps have received considerable attention as a quantum information platform due to their scalability and manufacturability. Here we characterize the delivery of 435 nm light through waveguides and diffractive couplers to a single ytterbium ion in a compact trap. We measure an axial heating rate at room temperature of $0.78\pm0.05$ q/ms and see no increase due to the presence of the waveguide. Furthermore, the electric field due to charging of the exposed dielectric outcoupler settles under normal operation after an initial shift. The frequency instability after settling is measured to be 0.9 kHz.

description: Rydberg atom arrays are among the leading contenders for the demonstration of quantum speedups. Motivated by recent experiments with up to 289 qubits [Ebadi et al., Science 376, 1209 (2022)] we study the maximum independent set problem on unit-disk graphs with a broader range of classical solvers beyond the scope of the original paper. We carry out extensive numerical studies and assess problem hardness, using both exact and heuristic algorithms. We find that quasi-planar instances with Union-Jack-like connectivity can be solved to optimality for up to thousands of nodes within minutes, with both custom and generic commercial solvers on commodity hardware, without any instance-specific fine-tuning. We also perform a scaling analysis, showing that by relaxing the constraints on the classical simulated annealing algorithms considered in Ebadi et al., our implementation is competitive with the quantum algorithms. Conversely, instances with larger connectivity or less structure are shown to display a time-to-solution potentially orders of magnitudes larger. Based on these results we propose protocols to systematically tune problem hardness, motivating experiments with Rydberg atom arrays on instances orders of magnitude harder (for established classical solvers) than previously studied.

description: We investigate the existence of linear-in-momentum spin-orbit interactions in the valence band of Ge/GeSi heterostructures using an atomistic tight-binding method. We show that symmetry breaking at the Ge/GeSi interfaces gives rise to a linear Dresselhaus-type interaction for heavy-holes. This interaction results from the heavy-hole/light-hole mixings induced by the interfaces and can be captured by a suitable correction to the minimal Luttinger-Kohn, four bands $\vec{k}\cdot\vec{p}$ Hamiltonian. It is dependent on the steepness of the Ge/GeSi interfaces, and is suppressed if interdiffusion is strong enough. Besides the Dresselhaus interaction, the Ge/GeSi interfaces also make a contribution to the in-plane gyromagnetic $g$-factors of the holes. The tight-binding calculations also highlight the existence of a small linear Rashba interaction resulting from the couplings between the heavy-hole/light-hole manifold and the conduction band enabled by the low structural symmetry of Ge/GeSi heterostructures. These interactions can be leveraged to drive the hole spin. The linear Dresselhaus interaction may, in particular, dominate the physics of the devices for out-of-plane magnetic fields. When the magnetic field lies in-plane, it is, however, usually far less efficient than the $g$-tensor modulation mechanisms arising from the motion of the dot in non-separable, inhomogeneous electric fields and strains.

As a demonstration of the potential of this technique, we apply it to the design of photonic crystal grating couplers fabricated on an air clad 220 nm silicon on insulator single etch platform. This fab-in-the-loop algorithm improves the insertion loss from 8.8 to 3.24 dB. The widest bandwidth designs produced using our fab-in-the-loop algorithm can cover a 150 nm bandwidth with less than 10.2 dB of loss at their lowest point.

Правовая культура российского общества характеризуется изменением своей сущностной основы, базируется на возрождении ряда традиций, формировании инновационных явлений. Основными целевыми ориентирами данного исследования является осуществление анализа понятийных оснований технико-юридической культуры с точки зрения аксиологического базиса, а также особенностей ее становления. Технико-юридическая культура позиционируется как особая разновидность правовой культуры, она проявляется в формировании, передаче, сохранении правовых ценностей, служащих ориентиром юридически значимого поведения по созданию и изменению нормативных правовых, интерпретационных, правоприменительных и правосистематизирующих актов. Акцентировано внимание на взаимной связи технико-юридической культуры с правовой культурой. Автор приходит к выводу о том, что назрела необходимость в формировании самостоятельной правовой категории – технико-юридической культуры и это предопределяется рядом обстоятельств. Во-первых, перспективная актуальность исследования обусловлена вызовами юридической практики, нуждающейся в наборе четких требований к профессиональной деятельности и подготовке юриста. В статье рассмотрены основные подходы к доктринальному определению понятия технико-юридической культуры. Во-вторых, важно отметить, что данный феномен находится в стадии формирования. Перспективное системное осмысление сущности и значения технико-юридической культуры будет способствовать совершенствованию правовой культуры в целом, повышению эффективности правового регулирования.

description: Complementary Neutron Spin Echo and X-ray experiments and Molecular Dynamics simulations have been performed on difluorotetrachloroethane (CFCl2-CFCl2) glassy crystal. Static, single-molecule reorientational dynamics and collective dynamics properties are investigated. The orientational disorder is characterized at different temperatures and a change in nature of rotational dynamics is observed. We show that dynamics can be described by some scaling predictions of the Mode Coupling Theory (MCT) and a critical temperature $T_{c}$ is determined. Our results also confirm the strong analogy between molecular liquids and plastic crystals for which $α$-relaxation times and non-ergodicity parameters are controlled by the non trivial static correlations as predicted by MCT.

description: Für die vorausschauende Regelung von Fahrzeugsystemen werden häufig Vorhersagemodelle benötigt. In dieser Arbeit wird ein stochastischer Ansatz zur Generierung von Vorhersagen für Fahrzeugdynamikgrößen hergeleitet, um die Unsicherheit der Vorhersage explizit im Regelungsverfahren berücksichtigen zu können. Darauf aufbauend wird die vorausschauende Regelung von Fahrzeugsystemen mit stochastisch optimalen Regelungsverfahren untersucht, an zwei Systembeispielen implementiert und evaluiert.

description: A complete basis for the next-to-next-to leading order heavy-to-light currents in the soft-collinear effective theory is constructed. Reparameterization invariance is imposed by deriving constraint equations. Their solutions give the set of allowed Dirac structures as well as relations between the Wilson coefficients of operators that appear at different orders in the power expansion. The completeness of reparameterization invariance constraints derived on a projected surface is investigated. We also discuss the universality of the ultrasoft Wilson line with boundary conditions.

description: The positive operator valued localizations (POL) of a massive scalar boson are constructed and a characterization and structural analyses of their kernels are obtained. In the focus of this article are the causal features of the POL. There is the well-known causal time evolution (CT). Recently a POL by Terno and Moretti, which is a kinematical deformation of the Newton-Wigner localization (NWL) and belongs to the here fully analyzed class of finite POL, is shown by V.Moretti to comply with CT. A further POL with CT treated here, which is in the same class, is the only one being the trace of a projection valued localization (like NWL) with CT. - Causality imposes a condition CC, which implies CT but is more restrictive than CT. Extending Moretti's method it is shown rigorously that the POL of the class introduced by Petzold et al. satisfy CC. Their kernels are called causal kernels, of which a rather detailed description is achieved. One the way there the case of one spatial dimension is solved completely. This case is instructive. In particular it directed Petzold et al. and subsequently Henning, Wolf to find their basic one-parameter family $K_r$ of causal kernels. The causal kernels are, up to a fixed energy factor, normalized positive definite Lorentz invariant kernels. A full characterization of the latter is attained due to their close relation to the zonal spherical functions on the Lorentz group. Finally these considerations discharge into the main result that $K_{3/2}$ is the absolute maximum, viz. $|K|\le K_{3/2}$ for all causal kernels $K$.

Subjects: Livestock Production/Industries

description: This paper reports an ex ante evaluation of a proposed carcase description scheme for the Australian pig industry. Potential benefits and costs of the scheme are described and enumerated, and most likely estimates evaluated by benefit-cost analysis. The results indicate that the proposed scheme would generate net discounted efficiency benefits of almost $50m. A sensitivity analysis of important assumptions and parameter values is conducted, and in all cases NPV remains positive. The conclusion is that the ex ante pricing and operational efficiency benefits of the implementation of the scheme would outweigh the costs of achieving them.

description: In this paper, we present a proof-of-principle of the formation of pure maximally entangled states from the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger class, in the experimental context of charged quantum dots. Each qubit must be identified as a pair of quantum dots, sharing an excess electron, coupled by tunneling. The electron-electron interaction is accounted for and is responsible for the coupling between the qubits. The interplay between coherent tunneling events and many-body interaction gives rise to the formation of highly entangled states. We begin by treating the problem of encoding three-qubits in a system with three pairs of quantum dots, and the numerical analysis of the exact quantum dynamics to find the conditions for the generation of the GHZ states. An effective two-level model sheds light on the role of a high-order tunneling process behind the dynamics. The action of the main decoherence process, the charge dephasing, is quantified in the process. We then evaluate the physical requirements for the dynamical generation of GHZ states in a $N$ qubit scenario, and its challenges.

title: 'Tiny house, big impact?' : an investigation into the 'rise' of the Tiny Home Lifestyle (THL) in the United States
Creators: name: Carras, Megan
Publisher: name: University of St Andrews

description: The burst of the housing bubble in the United States ignited political and economic shockwaves, bringing global financial markets to the brink of collapse and kick-starting the Great Recession. This devastating crisis was the result of irresponsible housing practices and policy interventions rooted in the contemporary neoliberal mentality of rule that encouraged homeownership and failed to regulate high-risk lending (Aalbers, 2015). The Tiny Home Lifestyle (THL) has gained popularity amidst this contemporary era of housing instability, and offers a small, more affordable, and often aesthetically appealing version of a traditional American home. Despite growing awareness around the THL, it has been neglected as the subject of rigorous academic study. Therefore, the primary aim of this thesis was to explore and explain the Tiny Home Lifestyle (THL) in the United States. This alternative, small-living housing option was positioned amidst the traditional housing market, debt encumbrance, and contemporary consumer culture, relying on the American dream ethos as a lens to explore aspirations of homeownership. The conceptual basis for the interrogation of the THL was rooted in the Foucauldian (1988) notion of ‘technologies of the self’. This was applied to investigate the promotion of a self-governing individual in pursuit of being a responsible and ethical citizen. The methodological approach of this research was reliant on the recent turn in governmentalities studies that employ non-archival methods to explore the nuances of governing practices and actualities of subject identity formation. One key finding of this thesis was that almost all participants expressed financial freedom as the primary motivation for adoption. Arguably, these dwellers have been governed into taking responsibility over their housing and understanding the provisions of the THL as ‘more free’ than what is provided by traditional housing, rather than the result of a constraining neoliberal mentality of rule. However, data suggested that dwellers were active in this process and appropriated normalisation and differentiation tactics to responsibilise and moralise their decision to adopt this lifestyle and become ‘tiny housers’. This thesis demonstrates how an unaffordable housing market ignited new housing ‘choices’ and how dwellers shifted identities in this process, potentially altering housing trajectories in the future. This contributes to post-recession understandings of housing amidst the contemporary neoliberal regime.

description: We construct novel scalarized black hole (BH) solutions beyond the general relativity (GR) framework. These scalarized BH solutions are extended from the Schwarzschild one and the non-Schwarzschild one in the pure Einstein-Weyl gravity. By studying the BH entropy and free energy, we demonstrate that the scalarized BH extending from the Schwarzschild one exhibits thermodynamically preferred. We obtain these novel solutions by directly solving the full fourth-order equations of motion. This narrows the problematic solution space obtained by commonly adopted second-order reduction to physically valid spaces. Our findings also unveil the evasion of the no-hair theorem within the realm of higher-derivative gravity.

description: The field of Weakly Supervised Learning (WSL) has recently seen a surge of popularity, with numerous papers addressing different types of "supervision deficiencies". In WSL use cases, a variety of situations exists where the collected "information" is imperfect. The paradigm of WSL attempts to list and cover these problems with associated solutions. In this paper, we review the research progress on WSL with the aim to make it as a brief introduction to this field. We present the three axis of WSL cube and an overview of most of all the elements of their facets. We propose three measurable quantities that acts as coordinates in the previously defined cube namely: Quality, Adaptability and Quantity of information. Thus we suggest that Biquality Learning framework can be defined as a plan of the WSL cube and propose to re-discover previously unrelated patches in WSL literature as a unified Biquality Learning literature.
