description: Understanding how producers make decisions to allot acreage among crops and how decisions about land use are affected by changes in prices and their volatility is fundamental for predicting the supply of staple crops and, hence, assessing the global food supply situation. The innovations of the present paper are estimates of monthly (i.e. seasonal) versus annual global acreage response models for four staple crops: wheat, soybeans, corn and rice. We focus on the impact of (expected) crop prices, oil and fertilizer prices and market risks as main determinants for farmers’ decisions on how to allocate their land. Primary emphasis is given to the magnitude and speed of the allocation process. Estimation of intra-annual acreage elasticity is crucial for expected supply and for input demand, especially in the light of the recent short-term volatility in food prices. Such aggregate estimates are also valuable to verify whether involved country-specific estimations add up to patterns that are apparent in the aggregate international data. The econometric results indicate that global crop acreage responds to crop prices and price risks, input costs as well as a time trend. Depending on respective crop, short-run elasticities are about 0.05 to 0.25; price volatility tends to reduce acreage response of some crops; comparison of the annual and the monthly acreage response elasticities suggests that acreage adjusts seasonally around the globe to new information and expectations. Given the seasonality of agriculture, time is of the essence for acreage response: The analysis indicates that acreage allocation is more sensitive to prices in northern hemisphere spring than in winter and the response varies across months.

description: We investigate the influence of Wolf-Rayet (W-R) stars on their surrounding star-forming molecular clouds. We study five regions containing W-R stars in the inner Galactic plane ($l\sim$[14$^\circ$-52$^\circ$]), using multi-wavelength data from near-infrared to radio wavelengths. Analysis of $^{13}$CO line data reveals that these W-R stars have developed gas-deficient cavities in addition to molecular shells with expansion velocities of a few km s$^{-1}$. The pressure owing to stellar winds primarily drives these expanding shells and sweeps up the surrounding matter to distances of a few pc. The column densities of shells are enhanced by a minimum of 14% for one region to a maximum of 88% for another region with respect to the column densities within their central cavities. No active star formation - including molecular condensations, protostars, or ionized gas - is found inside the cavities, whereas such features are observed around the molecular shells. Although the expansion of ionized gas is considered an effective mechanism to trigger star formation, the dynamical ages of the HII regions in our sample are generally not sufficiently long to do so efficiently. Overall, our results hint at the possible importance of negative W-R wind-driven feedback on the gas-deficient cavities, where star formation is quenched as a consequence. In addition, the presence of active star formation around the molecular shells indicates that W-R stars may also assist in accumulating molecular gas, and that they could initiate star formation around those shells.

description: Physisorption of Benzaldoxime derivatives on the Fullerene has been assayed at the M06/6-311++G (d, p) level of theory. The Anti-isomers are more stable than Syn-geometries in the range of –1.8 to –5.6 kcal mol–1. Global reactivity descriptors showed that donor and acceptor functional groups increase and decrease reactivity of the BO compound as electrophile, specially –NH2 and –NO2 groups. Changing of electron density in the molecular electrostatic potential maps and HOMOAnti-BOx––LUMOFullerene gaps values (0.009–0.540 eV) showing influence of these groups on the π–π stacking interactions. These non-covalent interactions stable formed donor complexes than acceptor complexes about –12.1 to –16.9 kJ mol–1. On the other hands, high density (ρ) and low negative Laplacian (∇2ρ(r)) indexes in the formed BCPs imply strong sandwich stacking, especially –NH2 and –NO2 groups.

description: We study quintessence models with a constant (effective) equation of state. It is investigated whether such quintessence models are consistent with a negative spatial curvature of the Universe with respect to the anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background radiation measured by the WMAP mission. If the reionization is negligibly small, it is found that such models with negative curvature are admissible due to a geometrical degeneracy. However, a very high optical depth tau to the surface of last scattering, as indicated by the polarization measurements of WMAP, would rule out such models.

description: African immigrants in the United States (U.S.) experience immense challenges in the form of poverty, unemployment, and underemployment. Limited English language proficiency often restricts African immigrants to low-paying, unskilled positions. Ethnic entrepreneurship in the form of small-scale farming provides some African immigrants with an alternative to mainstream employment. Key to the success of many African immigrants is participation in beginning farmer programs. These programs operate as social networks, connecting immigrant farmers to training, farming resources, and members of the local community who provide access to additional resources and markets. Drawing from social capital theory, this mixed methods study investigates economic outcomes and social capital development within immigrant farmer programs. Immigrant farmer programs are analyzed as social networks that connect immigrants to technical training, farming resources, and community members who can provide access to markets. Data were collected through a survey of 112 agricultural educators working with immigrant farming programs across the United States. Data were also collected through case studies of programs in Ohio and Virginia. Bivariate correlation tests found the following agricultural training topics were significantly associated with economic outcomes, specifically training on farm equipment use, organic certification, and pest management. Ten marketing training topics were associated with economic outcomes, including business management, identifying markets, and introduction to direct markets. Social network ties were also associated with economic outcomes. These relationships were with the following organizations: farmers markets, community-supported organizations, the Extension Service, local farm supply stores, restaurants, and the Farm Bureau. Multiple regression tests found that 24.8% of the variance in economic outcomes could be accounted for by social network development, market training, and agricultural training.

description: Using a fermiology approach to the computation of the magnetic susceptibility measured by neutron scattering in hole-doped high-Tc superconductors, we estimate the effects on the incommensurate peaks caused by higher d-wave harmonics of the superconducting order parameter induced by underdoping. The input parameters for the Fermi surface and d-wave gap are taken directly from angle resolved photoemission (ARPES) experiments on Bi{2}Sr{2}CaCu{2}O{8+x} (Bi2212). We find that higher d-wave harmonics lower the momentum dependent spin gap at the incommensurate peaks as measured by the lowest spectral edge of the imaginary part in the frequency dependence of the magnetic susceptibility of Bi2212. This effect is robust whenever the fermiology approach captures the physics of high-Tc superconductors. At energies above the resonance we observe diagonal incommensurate peaks. We show that the crossover from parallel incommensuration below the resonance energy to diagonal incommensuration above it is connected to the values and the degeneracies of the minima of the 2-particle energy continuum.

description: Utilizing social norms is gaining momentum as a cost-effective mechanism to promote sustainable behavior. We analyze household water data from multiple pilot programs for a company that provides information campaigns containing social comparisons of water use and personalized conservation recommendations in order to reduce household water consumption. We find significant treatment effect heterogeneity across the distribution of consumption and environmental attitudes. In the two pilots with a full year of data one utility achieves savings of 6.5%; while the other in aggregate achieved limited conservation gains. Heterogeneity based on the distribution of consumption is more important in the utility with significant savings, with the highest users saving the most water. In contrast ideology appears to be more important in the utility with an insignificant average treatment effect with dis-savings for those with very low environmental preferences and strong savings for the most environmentally-conscious. Inter-regional ideology may play an critical role since the utility with significant savings is in a much "greener" community, whereas intra-utility ideology is influential in conservative areas. We caution interpretation of the results, particularly for Utility B, as the data are still incomplete.

description: Understanding disk dissipation is essential for studying how planets form. Disk gaps and holes, which almost correspond to dust-free regions, are inferred from infrared observations of T Tauri stars (TTS), indicating the existence of a transitional phase between thick accreting disks and debris disks. Transition disks are usually referred to as candidates for newly formed planets. We searched for transition disk candidates belonging to NGC 2264. We characterized accretion, disk, and stellar properties of transition disk candidates and compared them to systems with a full disk and diskless stars We modeled the spectral energy distribution (SED) of a sample of 401 TTS, with Hyperion SED fitting code using photometric data from the U band to the MIPS band. We used the SED modeling to distinguish transition disk candidates, full disk systems, and diskless stars. We classified $52\%$ of the sample as full disk systems, $41\%$ as diskless stars, and $7\%$ of the systems as transition disk candidates, among which seven systems are new transition disk candidates belonging to the NGC 2264 cluster. The sample of transition disk candidates present dust in the inner disk similar to anemic disks, according to the $α_{IRAC}$ classification, which shows that anemic disk systems can be candidate transition disks. We show that the presence of a dust hole in the inner disk does not stop the accretion process since $82\%$ of transition disk candidates accrete and show $Hα$, UV excess, and mass accretion rates at the same level as full disk systems. We estimate the inner hole sizes, ranging from 0.1 to $78AU$, for the sample of transition disk candidates. In only $18\%$ of the transition disk candidates, the hole size could be explained by X-ray photoevaporation from stellar radiation.

The Value of Heterogeneous Property Rights: The Costs of Water Volatility

description: The system of prior appropriation in the Western Unites States prioritizes property rights for water based on the establishment of beneficial use, creating a hierarchy where rights initiated first are more secure. I estimate the demand for secure water rights through their capitalization in agricultural property markets using spatially explicit water rights data in the Yakima River Basin, a major watershed in Washington State. The Yakima River watershed, like many Western watersheds, satisfies all water claims during an average year so the benefits of secure water rights stem from protection against water curtailment during drought years. Thus the relative value of secure property rights is a function of water supply volatility because the costs of droughts are predominantly born by those with weak rights. In a hedonic price model I find that farmers pay a premium of 9-12% for more secure water rights. I use Bayesian model averaging to deal with model uncertainty and the potential omitted variable bias prevalent in hedonic analysis. An endogenous change point model tests whether the premium on a senior right varies over time, potentially in response to expectations about climate change. The results fail to confirm that farmers’ expectations about future water supply volatility are manifested in agricultural water markets.

description: Although two pion decays of $K$, $D$ and $B$ have similar isospin structures, there are dramatic differences in the ratios $R_K$ and $R_{D,B}$ of amplitudes from $ΔI =3/2$ and $ΔI =1/2$ interactions. In $K\to ππ$ decays there is the famous $ΔI =1/2$ rule with $R_K \approx 1/22$, whereas in $B(D) \to ππ$ decays the ratios $R_{D,B}$ are of order one and therefore there is no such a rule. In this work we study decay amplitudes in $B(D)\to ππ$ using QCD factorization calculations paying particular attention to discrepancies between data and theoretical estimates. Since isospin does not play a special role in factorization calculations, no $ΔI =1/2$ rule is expected. We find that theoretical results on the size of the amplitudes are in qualitative agreement with data. However the phases for the amplitudes are very different. We show that the effects of re-scattering between the two pions in the final state can play a crucial rule in understanding the differences between $B(D)\to ππ$ and $K\to ππ$ decays. We also comment on the role of isospin analysis which applies to the study of CP violation in $B\to ππ$ decays.

description: Transient-field $g$-factor measurements in inverse kinematics were performed for the first-excited states of the stable, even isotopes of Ge and Se. The $g$ factors of $^{74}$Ge and $^{74}$Se were measured simultaneously using a cocktail beam, which eliminates most possible sources of systematic error in a relative $g$-factor measurement. The results are $g(^{74}{\rm Se})/g(^{74}{\rm Ge})=1.34(7)$, $g(^{70}{\rm Ge})/g(^{74}{\rm Ge}) = 1.16(15)$, $g(^{72}{\rm Ge})/g(^{74}{\rm Ge})=0.92(13)$, $g(^{76}{\rm Ge})/g(^{74}{\rm Ge})=0.88(5)$, $g(^{76}{\rm Se})/g(^{74}{\rm Se})=0.96(7)$, $g(^{78}{\rm Se})/g(^{74}{\rm Se})=0.82(5)$, $g(^{80}{\rm Se})/g(^{74}{\rm Se})=0.99(7)$ and $g(^{82}{\rm Se})/g(^{74}{\rm Se})=1.19(6)$. The measured $g$-factor ratios are in agreement with ratios from previous measurements, despite considerable variation in previous reported absolute values. The absolute values of the $g$ factors remain uncertain, however the Rutgers parametrization was used to set the transient-field strength and then compare the experimental $g$ factors with shell-model calculations based on the JUN45 and jj44b interactions. Modest agreement was found between experiment and theory for both interactions. The shell model calculations indicate that the $g(2^+_1)$ values and trends are determined largely by the balance of the spin carried by orbital motion of the protons.

description: Spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking is accepted to occur in low energy hadronic physics, resulting in the several successful theorems of PCAC. On the other hand scalar confinement is suggested both by the spectroscopy of hadrons and by the string picture of confinement. However these two evidences are apparently conflicting, because chiral symmetry breaking requires a chiral invariant coupling to the quarks, say a vector coupling like in QCD. Here we reformulate the coupling of the quarks to the string, and we are able to comply with chiral symmetry breaking, using scalar confinement. The results are quite encouraging.

description: The annihilation of neutralino dark matter in the Galactic Center (GC) may result in radio signals that can be used to detect or constrain the dark matter halo density profile or dark matter particle properties. At the Galactic Center, the accretion flow onto the central Black Hole (BH) sustains strong magnetic fields that can induce synchrotron emission by electrons and positrons generated in neutralino annihilations during advection onto the BH. Here we reanalyze the radiative processes relevant for the neutralino annihilation signal at the GC, with realistic assumptions about the accretion flow and its magnetic properties. We find that neglecting these effects, as done in previous papers, leads to the incorrent electron and photon spectra. We find that the magnetic fields associated with the flow are significantly stronger than previously estimated. We derive the appropriate equilibrium distribution of electrons and positron and the resulting radiation, considering adiabatic compression in the accretion flow, inverse Compton scattering off synchrotron photons (synchrotron self-Compton scattering), and synchrotron self-absorption of the emitted radiation. We derive the signal for a Navarro-Frenk-White (NFW) dark matter halo profile and a NFW profile with a dark matter spike due to the central BH. We find that the observed radio emission from the GC is inconsistent with the scenario in which a spiky distribution of neutralinos is present. We discuss several important differences between our calculations and those previously presented in the literature.

description: In superfluid 3He-B mutual-friction damping of vortex-line motion decreases roughly exponentially with temperature. We record as a function of temperature and pressure the transition from regular vortex motion at high temperatures to turbulence at low temperatures. The measurements are performed with non-invasive NMR techniques, by injecting vortex loops into a long column in vortex-free rotation. The results display the phase diagram of turbulence at high flow velocities where the transition from regular to turbulent dynamics is velocity independent. At the three measured pressures 10.2, 29.0, and 34 bar, the transition is centered at 0.52--0.59Tc and has a narrow width of 0.06Tc while at zero pressure turbulence is not observed above 0.45Tc.

description: Grass conservation plantings (CP) are regularly installed as filter strips to supply water quality benefits and provide wildlife habitat, but these CPs also provide other agroecosystem services, including pest control which may reduce the need for insecticide spraying. This research extends previous work (Zhang and Swinton, 2009), by developing a multi-year space-time optimization problem as a dynamic bioeconomic model. The suggested model is applied to the problem of controlling Soybean Aphids in Newton County, Indiana. The previous literature is expanded in four major ways: the objective function is formulated as the social planner’s problem to reflect externalities, stochastic arrival of Soybean Aphids and appearance of natural enemies over space, spatially-explicit composition of the natural habitat network, and spatial heterogeneity of land cover properties. The empirical results show that natural enemies can provide suppression of Soybean Aphid and this reduces spraying frequencies. Installation of CPs increases the flow of ecosystems services across the landscape by providing habitat for beneficial natural enemies that prey upon the soybean aphid and other crop pests.

We discovered that the sonochemical reaction of C70 with 1,2-hydroxythiols selectively produces the single 5,6-isomer of C70–1,4-oxathiane. The C70•– radical anion was detected with EPR as a key intermediate of the reaction.

description: We present the X-ray properties of a sample of 17 radio sources observed with the Chandra X-ray Observatory as part of a project aimed at studying the X-ray emission from their radio jets. In this paper, we concentrate on the X-ray properties of the unresolved cores. The sample includes 16 quasars (11 core-dominated and 5 lobe-dominated) in the redshift range z=0.30--1.96, and one low-power radio-galaxy at z=0.064. No diffuse X-ray emission is present around the cores of the quasars, except for the nearby low-power galaxy that has diffuse emission on a scale and with a luminosity consistent with other FRIs. No high-amplitude, short-term variability is detected within the relatively short Chandra exposures. However, 1510-089 shows low-amplitude flux changes with a timescale of $\sim$25 minutes. The X-ray spectra of the quasar cores are generally well described by a single power law model with Galactic absorption. However, in six quasars we find soft X-ray excess emission below 1.6 keV. Interestingly, we detect an Fe K-shell emission line, consistent with fluorescent Kalpha emission from cold Iron, in one lobe- and two core-dominated sources. The average X-ray photon index for the quasars in the sample is Gamma=1.66 and dispersion, sigma=0.23. The average spectral slope for our sample is flatter than the slope found for radio-quiet quasars and for radio-loud AGNs with larger jet orientations; this indicates that beaming affects the X-ray emission from the cores in our sample of quasars.

description: We have worked out a selective and efficient mode of the synthesis of substituted and unsubstituted piperazine-containing mono-adducts of the C60 fullerene. It is based on the C60 reaction with piperazine, 2-methylpiperazine, and 2-oxopiperazine under air, room temperature and ultrasonication. The intermediate of the sonochemical reaction is radical anion C60•–, which was detected with EPR (g = 1.9968, ΔH = 5.9 G). This intermediate is generated due to one-electron transfer from piperazine to the C60 molecule.

description: This paper develops and tests different theoretical models of competition in a vertically linked market assuming different production arrangements for retailer private label brands (PL). We then empirical estimate retailer manufacturer competitive behavior based on best-fit games and determine the impact of PL production arrangements on pricing strategies for PLs and NBs. Retailers are using different production arrangements to produce PL products. In fact, a retailer may own a production facility, a national brand manufacturer (NB) produces the PL product exclusively for the retailer or the retailer outsources PL production to a non-NB manufacturer. These possible, different production arrangements can have significant implications for the competitive interactions and market outcomes between retailers and NB manufacturers. Existing economic literature has identified a significant degree of variation in the type of competitive interactions across grocery product categories. However, the majority empirical studies in IO have typically imposed assumptions about the nature of vertical production arrangement without formally and explicitly investigating the nature of PL-NB competitive interaction under different production arrangements. The analysis builds on the Non-Nested Model Comparison (NNMC) approach and employs weekly store-level retail scanner data, for a major North American retail chain. The findings from different theoretical models and their empirical application reveal that no consistent pattern of competitive interactions exists between PLs and NBs across different food product categories. Competitive patterns and outcomes vary depending on the nature of the PL production arrangement. Our study contributes to the IO literature by being the first to consistently derive and estimate the impact of PL production arrangement on brand-level competition.
Trade--off relations for operation entropy of complementary quantum channels

description: The entropy of a quantum operation, defined as the von Neumann entropy of the corresponding Choi-Jamiołkowski state, characterizes the coupling of the principal system with the environment. For any quantum channel $Φ$ acting on a state of size $N$ one defines the complementary channel $\tilde Φ$, which sends the input state into the state of the environment after the operation. Making use of subadditivity of entropy we show that for any dimension $N$ the sum of both entropies, $S(Φ)+ S(\tilde Φ)$, is bounded from below. This result characterizes the trade-off between the information on the initial quantum state accessible to the principal system and the information leaking to the environment. For one qubit maps, $N=2$, we describe the interpolating family of depolarising maps, for which the sum of both entropies gives the lower boundary of the region allowed in the space spanned by both entropies.

Abstract
Background: Type 2 diabetes is a growing epidemic in the United States and innovative programs are needed to improve care and reduce diabetic related complications.  
Purpose: To provide accessible education and coaching support to improve diabetes self-management and self-efficacy of Americans.  
Methods: Patients with diabetes and those at risk for diabetes were recruited from a Community Health Center in rural Massachusetts to participate in an online group coaching and education program.   Participants completed pre- and post-intervention surveys on diabetes related self-care behaviors and self-efficacy.  Online group coaching sessions were held once weekly in the month of January 2021.  Each session included an educational, knowledge based lecture, barrier identification, goal session, and question and answer. 
Results: A total of 28 eligible participants gave informed consent and of these, 11 participants completed the pre-surveys, and 5 participants completed the program and the post-intervention surveys.  Pre-and post-test results revealed a difference on average, of participants’ diabetes self-management behaviors increased by 4.00 points from pre-test (M = 26.60) to post-test (M = 30.60).  Results did not show a significant change for self-efficacy for diabetes management from pre-test.
Conclusion: Online diabetes coaching and support has potential to help people improve diabetes related self-care behaviors.  Participants may need more time to improve self-efficacy.

Evidence-Based Strategies for the Prevention of Workplace Violence Against Health Care Workers: Creating an Educational Toolkit
Creators: name: Anyanwu, Chibuzor
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2021

Background: Violence in healthcare is a growing problem. Health care workers are being physically and psychologically assaulted by patients and their families. This is particularly a problem in emergency departments, psychiatric units, waiting rooms and geriatric facilities.
Purpose: This project focused on the creation of an educational toolkit for the prevention of violence against healthcare workers.
Methods: This quality improvement project used Kotter’s 8-step change model to guide the evaluation of a toolkit incorporating evidence-based nonviolent crisis prevention strategies with Crisis Prevention Institute’s top 10 de-escalation tips. The project was implemented at a psychiatric hospital in Illinois. Healthcare workers reviewed the educational material in the toolkit. Questionnaire were used to collect data using the Confidence in Coping with Patient Aggression Instrument pre- and post-education. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data.
Results: Eleven healthcare workers participated. The mean score from the questionnaire was higher post-education (Mean= 27.52, SD= 3.32) compared to pre-education (Mean=22.83, SD=4.31). Additionally, there was an estimated 9% decrease in violence post educational intervention.
Conclusion: An educational toolkit has shown some promising results in increasing self perceived confidence in coping with/managing patient aggression and reducing violence against healthcare workers.

description: According to the classical Penrose inequality, the mass at spatial infinity is bounded from below by a function of the area of certain trapped surfaces. We exhibit quantum field theory states that violate this relation at the semiclassical level. We formulate a Quantum Penrose Inequality, by replacing the area with the generalized entropy of the lightsheet of an appropriate quantum trapped surface. We perform a number of nontrivial tests of our proposal, and we consider and rule out alternative formulations. We also discuss the relation to weak cosmic censorhip.

Confinement-induced alternating interactions between inclusions in an active fluid

description: In a system of colloidal inclusions suspended in a thermalized bath of smaller particles, the bath engenders an attractive force between the inclusions, arising mainly from entropic origins, known as the depletion force. In the case of active bath particles, the nature of the bath-mediated force changes dramatically from an attractive to a repulsive one, as the strength of particle activity is increased. We study such bath-mediated effective interactions between colloidal inclusions in a bath of self-propelled Brownian particles, being confined in a narrow planar channel. Confinement is found to have a strong effect on the interaction between colloidal particles, however, this mainly depends on the colloidal orientation inside the channel. Effect of the confinement on the interaction of colloidal disk is controlled by the layering of active particles on the surface boundaries. This can emerge as a competitive factor, involving the tendencies of the channel walls and the colloidal inclusions in accumulating the active particles in their own proximity.

description: We study the radiative h^0 (A^0)\to γγdecays in the framework of the general two Higgs doublet model, the so-called model III. We estimate the decay width of the processes at the order of magnitude of 10^{-2} GeV for the intermediate values of the Yukawa couplings. We observe that the analysis of the two photon system provide a comprehensive information for the complex nature of the Yukawa couplings and therefore, the source of the CP violation.
