description: The study sought to ascertain productive assets provided by FADAMA III/SEEFOR project to beneficiaries and the proportion of beneficiaries that are satisfied with operation, maintenance and utilization of the productive assets. It also identified the rural infrastructural subprojects provided by FADAMA III/SEEFOR project and the impact of these subprojects on beneficiaries' income. A sample of 170 respondents, comprising of 120 direct project beneficiaries and 50 non beneficiaries were drawn from the five local government areas under study. Data were generated with the use of structured questionnaire and analyzed through the use on descriptive statistics and the Difference in Difference method. Results indicate that 119 respondents representing 70% of the respondents were males while 38.82% were aged between 30 and 39 years; and 84.71% are married. Three enterprises including snailry, pepper and cassava processing enterprises were not satisfied with operation, maintenance and utilization of the productive assets provided to them. Average annual income of beneficiary households before the project implementation in the local government areas was N174,785.00 while that of non beneficiaries was N177,015.00 prior to the establishment of rural infrastructural subprojects. With the implementation of the project, the average income of all type of respondents' enterprises rose to N186,306.17 while that of non participants averaged to N178,662.17 implying an increase in income by 6.59% and 0.09% for participants and non-participants in the project respectively. It is recommended that the project should entrench proper measures towards ensuring that service providers execute projects to specification as this will improve the interest of the project to beneficiaries.

description: The astrophysical nature of r-process sites is a long standing mystery and many probable sources have been suggested in the past, among them lower-mass core-collapse supernovae (in the range 8 - 10 Msol), higher-mass core-collapse supernovae (with masses > 20 Msol) and neutron star mergers. In this work, we present a detailed inhomogeneous chemical evolution study that considers for the first time neutron star mergers as major r-process sources, and compare this scenario to the ones in which core-collapse supernovae act as dominant r-process sites. We conclude that, due to the lack of reliable iron and r-process yields as function of progenitor mass, it is not possible at present to distinguish between the lower-mass and higher-mass supernovae scenarios within the framework of inhomogeneous chemical evolution. However, neutron-star mergers seem to be ruled out as the dominant r-process source, since their low rates of occurrence would lead to r-process enrichment that is not consistent with observations at very low metallicities. Additionally, the considerable injection of r-process material by a single neutron-star merger leads to a scatter in [r-process/Fe] ratios at later times which is much too large compared to observations.

description: Crop production in Nigeria is dominated by small holder farmers with less than 5 hectares. They make up about 70 percent of the farming population and produce the bulk of the food crops. However, with their immense contributions to the food needs of the country, they are still bedeviled with enormous challenges of inadequate agricultural infrastructures. This study examined the structure of the government agricultural infrastructure and estimated the impact of these infrastructures on the agricultural production of farmers in Delta State. Data were obtained from cross-sectional survey of farmers via the use of a well structured questionnaire. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data. The analysis of the result on the structure of infrastructure using test of difference in proportion showed agricultural infrastructure has significantly improved the structure of rural social infrastructure. However, they have not improved the structure of agricultural infrastructure in Delta State on the general basis. The infrastructures so far provided have increased lake and pond (aquaculture) fishing, livestock number, improved health, farming techniques, produce evacuation and marketing. The recommendations made include: need to increase in agricultural infrastructural base especially in rural physical and institutional infrastructure, farmers' cooperative groups handling the distribution of agricultural infrastructure, feeder roads supplement with engine boats and articulated agricultural extension programmes. These will be necessary for increased agricultural production and the transformation of rural farmers from socio economic stress.

description: The spin distribution of binary black hole mergers contains key information concerning the formation channels of these objects, and the astrophysical environments where they form, evolve and coalesce. To quantify the suitability of deep learning to characterize the signal manifold of quasi-circular, spinning, non-precessing binary black hole mergers, we introduce a modified version of WaveNet trained with a novel optimization scheme that incorporates general relativistic constraints of the spin properties of astrophysical black holes. The neural network model is trained, validated and tested with 1.5 million $\ell=|m|=2$ waveforms generated within the regime of validity of NRHybSur3dq8, i.e., mass-ratios $q\leq8$ and individual black hole spins $ | s^z_{\{1,\,2\}} | \leq 0.8$. Using this neural network model, we quantify how accurately we can infer the astrophysical parameters of black hole mergers in the absence of noise. We do this by computing the overlap between waveforms in the testing data set and the corresponding signals whose mass-ratio and individual spins are predicted by our neural network. We find that the convergence of high performance computing and physics-inspired optimization algorithms enable an accurate reconstruction of the mass-ratio and individual spins of binary black hole mergers across the parameter space under consideration. This is a significant step towards an informed utilization of physics-inspired deep learning models to reconstruct the spin distribution of binary black hole mergers in realistic detection scenarios.

description: We study the application of the exact renormalisation group to a many-fermion system with a short-range attractive force. We introduce a boson field to describe pairing effects, and take a simple ansatz for the effective action. We derive a set of approximate flow equations for the effective coupling including boson and fermionic fluctuations. The initial conditions are obtained by renormalising the interaction to fit the scattering length in vacuum. At some critical value of the running scale, the numerical solutions show a phase transition to a gapped phase. Standard results are recovered if we omit the boson loops. When boson fluctuations are included, we find that their contributions are significant only in the small-gap regime.

description: When confronted with information that ordinary citizens do not care that strongly about efficiency, do economists change their views of optimal public policy? In a randomised experiment on tax preferences conducted among business and economics students in Tanzania, we supplied the treatment group with information that ordinary citizens disagree with implications of efficiency-based optimal tax theory. Tax preferences were then measured using discrete choice experiments. The results show that the treated students modify their position in the direction of public opinion, an effect driven by students with longer exposure to economics. An economics education hence seems to produce professionals who are part democrats and part technocratic paternalists.

description: Recent studies demonstrate that an individual magnetic domain wall (DW) can be trapped and reproducibly positioned within multiterminal (Ga,Mn)As microdevices. The electrical resistance obtained from such measurements is found to be measurably altered by the presence of this single entity. To elucidate these observations we develop a simple model for the electrical potential distribution along a multiterminal device in the presence of a single DW. This is employed to calculate the effect of a single DW upon the longitudinal and transverse resistance. The model provides very good agreement with experimental observations, and serves to highlight important deviations from simple theory. We show that measurements of transverse resistance along the channel permits establishing the position and the shape of the DW contained within it. An experimental scheme is developed that enables unambiguous extraction of the intrinsic DW resistivity. This permits the intrinsic contribution to be differentiated from resistivities originating from the bulk and from magnetic anisotropy - effects that are generally manifested as large backgrounds in the experiments.

description: The study compared the productivity of watermelon production for Fadama III Project support among beneficiaries and non-Beneficiaries in Misau Local Government Area, Bauchi State, Nigeria. A total of 140 watermelon farmers were randomly selected from the study area, consisting of 70 Fadama III project beneficiaries and 70 non-beneficiaries, respectively. Primary data were collected using questionnaires. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, farm budgeting and regression analysis. The result reveals that the net farm income earned by beneficiaries (N79, 972.80/ha) was higher than those of the non-beneficiaries (N43, 163.96). The returns on naira invested were equally higher for beneficiaries than non-beneficiaries'. Seed input was a significant fertilizer, labour, farm size, agro-chemicals and fuel significantly determined the output of watermelon in the farms. The efficiency ratio for seeds, agro-chemicals, fuel and farm size were utilized below economic optimum level, while labor, fertilizer were used above economic optimum by both beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries, respectively. The main constraints of watermelon production in both farms included pest and disease infestation, inadequate fertilizer, high costs of seeds. inadequate extension services and lack of credit facilities. The study therefore, recommended the provision of more extension agents, provision of fuel at affordable price, provision of credit facilities by the banks at reasonable interest rates, provision of farm inputs at lower prices and provision of permanent fencing materials to restricts domestic animals on free range from encroaching watermelon farms toward facilitating effective watermelon production.

description: Using a representative sample of more than 5,000 Vietnamese enterprises, we explore the firm-level productivity effects of corporate social responsibility (CSR). The data enables us to create 12 quantitative CSR measures, which can be grouped into two broader categories related to management and community-based CSR initiatives. We find a positive relationship between adoption of CSR initiatives and firm efficiency, and reveal that the impact is stronger for firms in non-competitive industries. Moreover, we show that local community focused CSR initiatives drive the aggregate effect. This suggests that socially responsible actions by firms are likely to pay-off when stakeholder engagement has a localised focus. We provide evidence of reciprocity by showing that employees accept a lower share of additionally generated value-added (controlling for productivity differences) in exchange for working in a company that signals ‘good’ corporate values.

description: Magnetic reconnection in current sheets converts magnetic energy into particle energy. The process may play an important role in the acceleration and heating of the solar wind close to the Sun. Observations from Parker Solar Probe provide a new opportunity to study this problem, as it measures the solar wind at unprecedented close distances to the Sun. During the 1st orbit, PSP encountered a large number of current sheets in the solar wind through perihelion at 35.7 solar radii. We performed a comprehensive survey of these current sheets and found evidence for 21 reconnection exhausts. These exhausts were observed in heliospheric current sheets, coronal mass ejections, and regular solar wind. However, we find that the majority of current sheets encountered around perihelion, where the magnetic field was strongest and plasma beta was lowest, were Alfvénic structures associated with bursty radial jets and these current sheets did not appear to be undergoing local reconnection. We examined conditions around current sheets to address why some current sheets reconnected, while others did not. A key difference appears to be the degree of plasma velocity shear across the current sheets: The median velocity shear for the 21 reconnection exhausts was 24% of the Alfvén velocity shear, whereas the median shear across 43 Alfvénic current sheets examined was 71% of the Alfvén velocity shear. This finding could suggest that large, albeit sub-Alfvénic, velocity shears suppress reconnection. An alternative interpretation is that the Alfvénic current sheets are isolated rotational discontinuities which do not undergo local reconnection.

The Way Home : A Rural Renewal Model for Beikeng

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2020

description: Beikeng, located deep in the mountainous region of Fujian Province, is one of those non-listed villages which have been trying to become shortlisted for national funding and resources. The vernacular typology Cuo, the traditional forest-Cuo-terrace-stream settlement, and the idyllic rural way of living rooted in rice paddies implies that Beikeng deserves a different future from a forthcoming vanishing fate. This thesis seeks to envision a rural renewal model in which time plays a critical role through 4 episodes: poetic dwellings, agricultural production, rural tourism and community reconstruction. It’s an incremental process started by the arrival of lifestyle entrepreneurs, pushed by the involvement of local entrepreneurs and eventually attracts return entrepreneurs to come back to their homeland.

description: We consider the backreaction of the vacuum polarization effect for a massive charged scalar field in the presence of a singular magnetic massless string on the background metric. Using semiclassical approach, we find the first-order (in $\hbar$ units) metric modifications and the corresponding gravitational potential and deficit angle. It is shown that, in certain region of values of coupling constant and magnetic flux, the gravitational potential and deficit angle can be positive as well as negative over all distances from the string and can even change its sign. Unlike the case of massless scalar field, the gravitational corrections were found to have short-range behavior.

description: Active learning (AL) aims to improve model performance within a fixed labeling budget by choosing the most informative data points to label. Existing AL focuses on the single-domain setting, where all data come from the same domain (e.g., the same dataset). However, many real-world tasks often involve multiple domains. For example, in visual recognition, it is often desirable to train an image classifier that works across different environments (e.g., different backgrounds), where images from each environment constitute one domain. Such a multi-domain AL setting is challenging for prior methods because they (1) ignore the similarity among different domains when assigning labeling budget and (2) fail to handle distribution shift of data across different domains. In this paper, we propose the first general method, dubbed composite active learning (CAL), for multi-domain AL. Our approach explicitly considers the domain-level and instance-level information in the problem; CAL first assigns domain-level budgets according to domain-level importance, which is estimated by optimizing an upper error bound that we develop; with the domain-level budgets, CAL then leverages a certain instance-level query strategy to select samples to label from each domain. Our theoretical analysis shows that our method achieves a better error bound compared to current AL methods. Our empirical results demonstrate that our approach significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art AL methods on both synthetic and real-world multi-domain datasets.

title: Iteration in Tracts
Creators: name: Waterman, James
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2020

description: This thesis is focused on the iteration of transcendental entire and meromorphic functions within a particular domain of the complex plane called a direct tract. Many new results are given on the rates of escape and the dimension of points of bounded orbit in a direct tract, as well as the geometry of direct tracts. First, we study iterates of points within one of these tracts. The points that escape to infinity are of particular interest in the iteration of entire functions due both to their simple definition and, in contrast to rational functions, the interesting phenomena and structures they exhibit. We expand on work of Rippon and Stallard to show that in many cases there exist points that escape to infinity within a direct tract as slowly as desired. In order to accomplish this, we develop several tools based both on the expansion of the hyperbolic metric and estimates on the function value in these direct tracts. Next, we relate the geometry of a direct tract to how well behaved the entire function is inside this direct tract. We consider a particular type of direct tract, called a logarithmic tract. Many results are known for functions with this type of direct tract, so the ability to identify them from their geometric properties is important. In particular, we give new descriptions of when a direct tract is a logarithmic tract or contains logarithmic tracts. Finally, we show that, for functions with a specific restriction on the geometry of the direct tract, the Hausdorff dimension of the set of points with bounded orbit in the Julia set is strictly greater than one. To do this, we prove new results related to Wiman–Valiron theory.

description: We use exact diagonalization combined with mean-field theory to investigate the phase diagram of the spin-orbital model for cubic vanadates. The spin-orbit coupling competes with Hund's exchange and triggers a novel phase, with the ordering of $t_{2g}$ orbital magnetic moments stabilized by the tilting of VO$_6$ octahedra. It explains qualitatively spin canting and reduction of magnetization observed in YVO$_3$. At finite temperature an orbital Peierls instability in the $C$-type antiferromagnetic phase induces modulation of magnetic exchange constants even in absence of lattice distortions. The calculated spin structure factor shows a magnon splitting due to the orbital Peierls dimerization.

description: Not all sources of inequality in educational achievements are fair. But how strong and persistent is the burden of unequal opportunities that each person carries on in their life? In this paper, we define individual indices of the burden of circumstances, which measure the effect that the accumulation of factors outside individual control, has on individual educational achievements in the short and long run. As our findings suggest, the effect of these circumstances tends to persist over time. This effect has been particularly strong for the generation of students who experienced the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis. Lastly, we do not find evidence of a sizeable effect of local non-routine education expenditure on the inequality of opportunity, causing us to question the effectiveness of educational policies in accurately targeting equity.

description: The paper reviewed the causes, consequences and impacts of climate change in the Nigerian agricultural sector. The paper found out that, notwithstanding the existence of modern agricultural technologies, climate change which occurs with different weather varieties hamper productivity levels of both crops and animals in recent time in the country. Although there are information about the negative impacts of climate change in the country, much of these information are not on the doorsteps of the rural agricultural producers due to minimal existence of adequate trained change agents. As Nigeria is currently experiencing increasing incidence of disease, declining agricultural productivity, increasing number of heat waves, unreliable weather patterns, declining rainfall in already desert-prone areas, these gave ways to paradigm shift in the agricultural sector especially in the rural communities. Due to these increases there is decline in production of agricultural produce/products which is consequence of climate change. This paper recommends among other things that there is need for a systematic collaborative approach involving all the stakeholders - science experts and researchers, governments at all levels, policy makers, farmers associations, youths and women groups, private sectors: non-governmental and civil society organizations to work together in turning the critical challenges posed by climate change into opportunity/opportunities.

A Theoretical Study of Doping Evolution of Phonons in High-Temperature Cuprate Superconductors

description: Hole-doped high-temperature copper oxide-based superconductors (cuprates) exhibit complex phase diagrams where electronic orders like a charge density wave (CDW) and superconductivity (SC) appear at low temperatures. The origins of these electronic orders are still open questions due to their complex interplay and correlated nature. These electronic orders can modify the phonons in the system, which has also been experimentally found in several cuprates as a softening in the phonon frequency at the CDW vector. Recent experiments have revealed that the softening in phonons in cuprates due to CDW shows intriguing behavior with increasing hole doping. Hole doping can also change the underlying Fermi surface. Therefore, it is an interesting question whether the doping-induced change in the Fermi surface can affect the softening of phonons, which in turn can reveal the nature of the electronic orders present in the system. In this work, we investigate this question by studying the softening of phonons in the presence of CDW and SC within a perturbative approach developed in an earlier work. We compare the results obtained within the working model to some experiments.

description: The study assessed the role of cooperatives in financing rice production in Arondizogu, Ideato-North Local Government Area, Imo State, Nigeria. Informal or semi-formal financial institutions such as cooperative societies have become major players in financial services provision. However, the informal providers often have weak institutional and managerial capacity and offer only a narrow range of financial services, often without regulation. Moreover, operating in isolation from the financial system has let some of these providers charge steep and sometimes even usurious interest rates. This study is conceived against this backdrop to provide information n the financing activities of the cooperatives and thereby inform and influence relevant policies. Purposive random sampling technique was used in selection of three communities namely; Ndi-Onuwaoha, Ndi-Njoku, Akame-Ikpa-Okoli in Arondizogu, because they are the prominent rice producing communities in the area. The sample size comprised sixty farmers. The main tool for data collection was the validated structured questionnaire. Data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistical tools. The findings indicated that majority of the farmers ( 89.99%) applied to their cooperatives for loan amount that ranged N41,000-N100,000 but obtained amount less than that applied to the range of N31,000-N70,000. Result also showed that majority of cooperative societies (81.67%) charged double digit interest rates. The highest number of the respondents represented by 96.67% identified insufficient loan amount as one of the problems encountered by the rice farmers in obtaining loans from the various cooperative societies. Recommendations were made based on the findings.

Diagnosis.
Clavulinopsis wumengshanensis differs from C. aurantiocinnabarina by buff-yellow to straw-yellow basidiomata and thick-walled, subglobose, and longer basidiospores (7–8.5 µm vs. 5.6–7.1 µm).
Holotype.
China • Yunnan Province, Zhaotong, Yiliang County, Wumengshan National Nature Reserve, GPS coordinates 27°30'N, 104°12'E, evel. 1710 m asl., on the ground, leg. C. L. Zhao, 12 July 2023, CLZhao 29612 (SWFC).
Etymology.
Wumengshanensis (Lat.) refers to the locality “ Wumengshan National Nature Reserve ” of the holotype.
Basidiomata.
Basidiomes annual, clavarioid, without odor or taste when fresh, up to 8 cm long, 4 mm wide, and 400–800 µm thick. Fertile part subcylindrical to fusiform, occasionally slightly curved or flexuous and with a distinct longitudinal depression, buff-yellow (4 A 4) to straw-yellow (3 A / B 3) when dry. Apex rounded or obtuse acute when mature, concolourous or slightly paler.
Hyphal structure.
Monomitic, generative hyphae with clamp connections, hyaline, thick-walled, parallel, interwoven, 2–3 µm in diam, some inflated to 13 µm in diam, IKI –, CB –; tissues unchanged in KOH. Cystidia absent. Basidia clavate to subcylindrical, hyaline, thin-walled, with four sterigmata and a basal clamp connection, 35–48.5 × 9–11.5 µm; basidioles in shape similar to basidia, with several guttules.
Spores.
Basidiospores subglobose with a distinct apiculus, hyaline, thick-walled, smooth, with several guttules, IKI –, CB –, 7–8.5 (– 5) × (5.5 –) 6–7.5 µm, L = 7.59 µm, W = 6.54 µm, Q = 1.14–1.16 (n = 60 / 2).
Additional specimen examined
(paratype). China • Yunnan Province, Zhaotong, Yiliang County, Wumengshan National Nature Reserve, GPS coordinates 27°30'N, 104°12'E, evel. 1710 m asl., on the ground, leg. C. L. Zhao, 12 July 2023, CLZhao 29651 (SWFC).
Notes.
Based on the ITS + LSU analysis (Fig. 1), the result showed that the new species Clavulinopsis wumengshanensis is grouped with C. aurantiocinnabarina (Schwein.) Corner. However, C. aurantiocinnabarina differs from C. wumengshanensis by its thin-walled basidiospores and narrower basidia (5.2–7.1 µm vs. 9–11.5 µm, Petersen 1978).

description: A solution of the (4+n)-dimensional vacuum Einstein equations is found for which spacetime is compactified on a compact hyperbolic manifold of time-varying volume to a flat four-dimensional FLRW cosmology undergoing accelerated expansion in Einstein conformal frame. This shows that the `no-go' theorem forbidding acceleration in `standard' (time-independent) compactifications of string/M-theory does not apply to `cosmological' (time-dependent) hyperbolic compactifications.

description: Lithium niobate (LiNbO$_3$, LN) plays an important role in holographic storage, and molybdenum doped LiNbO$_3$ (LN:Mo) is an excellent candidate for holographic data storage. In this paper, the basic features of Mo doped LiNbO$_3$, such as the site preference, electronic structure, and the lattice distortions, have been explored from first-principles calculations. Mo substituting Nb with its highest charge state of +6 is found to be the most stable point defect form. The energy levels formed by Mo with different charge states are distributed in the band gap, which are responsible for the absorption in the visible region. The transition of Mo in different charge states implies molybdenum can serve as a photorefractive center in LN:Mo. In addition, the interactions between Mo and intrinsic or extrinsic point defects are also investigated in this work. Intrinsic defects $\tt V_{Li}^-$ could cause the movement of the $\tt Mo_{Nb}^+$ energy levels. The exploration of Mo, Mg co-doped LiNbO$_3$ reveals that although Mg ion could not shift the energy level of Mo, it can change the distribution of electrons in Mo and Mg co-doped LN (LN:Mo,Mg) which help with the photorefractive phenomenon.
