description: We calculate the angular correlation function of galaxies in the Two Micron All Sky Survey. We minimize the possible contamination by stars, dust, seeing and sky brightness by studying their cross correlation with galaxy density, and limiting the galaxy sample accordingly. We measure the correlation function at scales between 1-18 arcdegs using a half million galaxies. We find a best fit power law to the correlation function has a slope of 0.76 and an amplitude of 0.11. However, there are statistically significant oscillations around this power law. The largest oscillation occurs at about 0.8 degrees, corresponding to 2.8 h^{-1} Mpc at the median redshift of our survey, as expected in halo occupation distribution descriptions of galaxy clustering. We invert the angular correlation function using Singular Value Decomposition to measure the three-dimensional power spectrum and find that it too is in good agreement with previous measurements. A dip seen in the power spectrum at small wavenumber k is statistically consistent with CDM-type power spectra. A fit of CDM-type power spectra to k < 0.2 h Mpc^{-1} give constraints of Γ_{eff}=0.116 and σ_8=0.96. This suggest a K_s-band linear bias of 1.1+/-0.2. This Γ_{eff} is different from the WMAP CMB derived value. On small scales the power-law shape of our power spectrum is shallower than that derived for the SDSS. These facts together imply a biasing of these different galaxies that might be nonlinear, that might be either waveband or luminosity dependent, and that might have a nonlocal origin.

description: We construct solutions of a renormalized continuum fractional parabolic Anderson model, formally given by $\partial_t u=-(-Δ)^{1/2}u+ξu$, where $ξ$ is a periodic spatial white noise. To be precise, we construct limits as $\varepsilon\to 0$ to solutions of $\partial_t u_\varepsilon=-(-Δ)^{1/2}u_\varepsilon+(ξ_\varepsilon-C_\varepsilon)u_\varepsilon$, where $ξ_\varepsilon$ is a mollification of $ξ$ at scale $\varepsilon$ and $C_\varepsilon$ is a logarithmically diverging renormalization constant. We use a simple renormalization scheme based on that of Hairer and Labbé, "A simple construction of the continuum parabolic Anderson model on $\mathbf{R}^{2}$."

description: This paper presents an overview of fully dielectric antenna arrays with integrated dielectric power dividers developed at Technische Universität Darmstadt as an extension of previous work. The power dividers are based on the principle of multimode interference and offer one- and two dimensional power division in a single step,which allows the realization of small and lightweight devices. In order to prove the concept, 1 ×4 and 4× 4 fully dielectric antenna arrays with integrated power dividers milled from Rexolite are designed, realized and characterized, operating between 90 GHz and 105 GHz. To assess miniaturization and beamsteering capabilities, three 1 × 4 arrays composed of different materials, Rexolite, Preperm L300 and Preperm L440, are compared regarding gain, size,weight and element spacing. Depending on array size and material, gain is between 12.5 dBi and 22 dBi, accompanied with sidelobe levels below –7.5. All demonstrators are realized by milling, but the designs show the potential to be 3D printed or injection molded for large scale manufacturing.

description: We construct non-supersymmetric type I string models which correspond to consistent flat-space solutions of all classical equations of motion. Moreover, the one-loop vacuum energy is naturally fixed by the size of compact extra dimensions which, in the two-dimensional case, can be lowered to a fraction of a millimetre. This class of models has interesting non-abelian gauge groups and can accommodate chiral fermions. In the large radius limit, supersymmetry is recovered in the bulk, while D-brane excitations, although non-supersymmetric, exhibit Fermi-Bose degeneracy at all mass levels. We also give some evidence for a suppression of higher-loop corrections to the vacuum energy.

Year: 2023

description: The purpose of this thesis is to review the various measures undertaken by the Occupying Powers of Germany after World War II to compensate in part the losses incurred by those countries which contributed considerably in the successful prosecution of the war with Germany. In addition, an attempt is made to explain in detail the complex international machinery set up for the purpose of distributing the proceeds of reparation to qualified countries on an equitable basis. There is also a description of the various types of reparation paid by Western Germany to the victorious powers as well as summary tables which give the types and quantities of reparation distributed to the various recipient countries. U.S.S.R. receipts are not dealt with in this paper due to the lack of information regarding Soviet receipts in East Germany.

description: The paper aims at assessment of functioning of farms from gminas (municipalities) of high natural values at the background of farms from other gminas in Poland. The gminas for which the Natural and Tourism Value Index (NTVA), established by the Institute of Soil Science and Plant Cultivation – State Research Institute, amounted to at least 35.6% out of 100% possible to be achieved were considered as gminas of high natural values. The comparative analysis took into account the production potential of farms, production organization, costs incurred, productivity of factors of production, farm income per 1 FWU, share of operating subsidies in farm income and the net investment rate. The analysis was carried out using the data of farms keeping accounting for the Polish FADN in 2015 and data of the Institute of Soil Science and Plant Cultivation – State Research Institute. It was recognized that farms from areas of high natural values and keeping accounting for the Polish FADN in 2015, for instance, provided payment for the owner’s and his family members’ labour costs at above the parity level and saw possibilities for further development for themselves.

description: A mgnetic bimeron is an in-plane topological counterpart of a magnetic skyrmion. Despite the topological equivalence, their statics and dynamics could be distinct, making them attractive from the perspectives of both physics and spintronic applications. In this work, we investigate an antiferromagnetic (AFM) thin film with interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI), and introduce the AFM bimeron cluster as a new form of topological quasi-particle. Bimerons demonstrate high current-driven mobility as generic AFM solitons, while featuring anisotropic and relativistic dynamics excited by currents with in-plane and out-of-plane polarizations, respectively. Moreover, these spin textures can absorb other bimeron solitons or clusters along the translational direction to acquire a wide range of Néel topological numbers. The clustering involves the rearrangement of topological structures, and gives rise to remarkable changes in static and dynamical properties. The merits of AFM bimeron clusters reveal a potential path to unify multi-bit data creation, transmission, storage and even topology-based computation within the same material system, and may stimulate innovative spintronic devices enabling new paradigms of data manipulations.

Nesothrips badius

description: Nesothrips badius (Hood, 1918: 143) comb.n.
(Figs 48, 56, 59)
 Described in Cryptothrips, this species was transferred to Bolothrips by Mound (1974 a) because of the long head and small eyes (Fig. 48), as well as its habitat at the base of grasses and sedges. Subsequently it was re-assigned to Carientothrips because of the presence of four sensoria on the fourth antennal segment (Mound 1974b). However, it is here transferred to Nesothrips because of the arrangement of the maxillary stylets, wide apart and V-shaped in the head (Fig. 48), and because of the form of the maxillary palps, with the first segment short and quadrate and the second segment three times as long as the first (Fig. 56). This species is widespread in eastern Australia from northern Queensland to Tasmania, and is also common in New Zealand (Mound & Walker 1986). The most closely related species is barrowi sp.n. that is known only from a single specimen taken on Barrow Island, off the northwestern coast of Western Australia.
 Diagnosis. Usually effectively apterous with the wing lobe less than 40 microns long and the ocelli absent; body, legs and antennae dark brown with segment III briefly paler at base (Fig. 59); head elongate, cheeks sinuate, constricted behind eyes but broader medially, maxillary stylets wide V-shaped, not retracted as far as postocular setae; eyes small, postocellar and postocular setae small and acute; pronotum am setae small, remaining major setae not large; mesopresternum boat-shaped, metathoracic sternopleural sutures not present; metanotum weakly sculptured; pelta very broadly triangular with rounded corners; tergites with about 10 discal setae in median transverse row, median pair longer than lateral setae, wing-retaining setae long and straight; tergite IX setae acute, about as long as tube. Male smaller than female, with fore tarsal tooth; pronotum of large male with thickened median apodeme.

description: This paper is an effort to evaluate the numerical indices for the assessment of the frequency response analysis (FRA) to provide a deeper understanding of their characteristics. The study introduces the indices in the literature and categorizes them into two groups. The results of an actual FRA experimental setup on an electrical machine are employed to examine the indices from the various aspects. The main features of the indices are extracted, and the better ones in various aspects are marked. Moreover, based on the observations from the experimental studies, a new numerical index for comparing FRA results is proposed in this paper to enhance FRA results assessment and interpretation in both electrical machines and transformers. The advantages of the proposed index are also shown by comparing it with the existing ones.

description: Description: Transport interventions, including those aimed at reducing traffic speed, have the potential to contribute to public health. However, these types of interventions have rarely been implemented at scale and pose numerous challenges for designing and undertaking robust evaluation to demonstrate effectiveness. This symposium will pull together: previous evidence on speed reduction interventions; how the team approached the evaluation of this complex public health intervention in two UK cities; the political processes that made the large-scale speed limit policies a reality; and the impact of the interventions on key outcomes including speed, collisions and casualties. Chair: Dr. Karen Milton Presenter 1: Dr. Graham Baker. Introduction Presenter 1: Dr. Paul Kelly. Study design and methods to evaluate a complex 20mph speed reduction intervention. Presenter 2: Dr. Karen Milton. Exploration of the political processes that made large-scale speed limit policies a reality in two major UK cities. Presenter 3: Dr. Claire Cleland. Behaviour change and public health outcomes of 20 mph speed limit interventions implemented in two major UK cities Results: The chair will summarise the key take home messages from the presentations, which will be followed by at least 30 minutes for Q and A and discussion with the audience. Conclusions: The findings enhance understanding of the political decision-making process underlying large-scale public health action, which is important for informing future advocacy efforts. The study has also generated substantial evidence of effectiveness to advance scientific knowledge. Delivering this symposium also contributes to a third ISPAH goal, to communicate excellence in research and practice on physical activity and public health.

description: Individual farmers have been entitled to lease farmland in China since 2003. During the same period, China has undergone a rapid urbanization, causing farmers to leave their lands. In 2004, the government introduced farm subsidies nationwide to encourage farming. This paper represents the very first attempt to examine the impact of farm subsidies on farmland cash rents in China. We construct a farmland rental model to account for imperfect competitions due to insecure property rights. This model is estimated using information from 5,041 households in China over the 2004-2013 period. Estimation results show that farm subsidies have a positive and statistically significant impact on farmland rents. The incidence of farm subsidies on farmland rents is estimated to be 0.45, which suggests that farmland tenants capture 55 percent of the subsidy, leaving 45 percent for landlords. This implies that farm subsidy policies exhibit substantial distributional effects. In addition, urbanization and market returns are also found to have a positive relationship with farmland rents, which is consistent with previous literature.

description: Every nation prioritizes the inclusive economic growth and development of all regions. However, we observe that economic activities are clustered in space, which results in a disparity in per-capita income among different regions. A complexity-based method was proposed by Hidalgo and Hausmann [PNAS 106, 10570-10575 (2009)] to explain the large gaps in per-capita income across countries. Although there have been extensive studies on countries' economic complexity using international export data, studies on economic complexity at the regional level are relatively less studied. Here, we study the industrial sector complexity of prefectures in Japan based on the basic information of more than one million firms. We aggregate the data as a bipartite network of prefectures and industrial sectors. We decompose the bipartite network as a prefecture-prefecture network and sector-sector network, which reveals the relationships among them. Similarities among the prefectures and among the sectors are measured using a metric. From these similarity matrices, we cluster the prefectures and sectors using the minimal spanning tree technique.The computed economic complexity index from the structure of the bipartite network shows a high correlation with macroeconomic indicators, such as per-capita gross prefectural product and prefectural income per person. We argue that this index reflects the present economic performance and hidden potential of the prefectures for future growth.

description: The Adler sum rule for deep inelastic neutrino scattering measures the isospin of the nucleon and is hence exact. By contrast, the corresponding Gottfried sum rule for charged lepton scattering was based merely on a valence picture and is modified both by perturbative and non-perturbative effects. Noting that the known perturbative corrections to two-loop order are suppressed by a factor 1/N_c^2, relative to those for higher moments, we propose that this suppression persists at higher orders and also applies to higher-twist effects. Moreover, we propose that the differences between the corresponding radiative corrections to higher non-singlet moments in charged-lepton and neutrino deep inelastic scattering are suppressed by 1/N_c^2, in all orders of perturbation theory. For the first moment, in the Gottfried sum rule, the substantial discrepancy between the measured value and the valence-model expectation may be attributed to an intrinsic isospin asymmetry in the nucleon sea, as is indeed the case in a chiral-soliton model, where the discrepancy persists in the limit N_c-->infinity.

description: The price of the maize hybrids in Pakistan is one of the highest in the world. The current study is based on comprehensive data set collected through field survey from 822 maize growers across Pakistan. The data was collected all the four major provinces of Pakistan i.e. Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) and Balochistan including Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) and Gilgit Baltistan (GB). The propensity score matching analysis was employed for empirical analysis and four different matching algorithms i.e. Nearest Neighbour Matching (NNM), Kernel Based Matching (KBM), Radius Matching (RM) and Mahalanobis Metric Matching (MMM) to check the robustness of results. The empirical results indicated that maize hybrid adopters have higher yields in the range of 2.35-3.11 maunds per hectares as compared to non adopters. Similarly household income levels are higher in the range of 2176-3518 Pakistani rupees. The poverty levels are less in the range of 2-3 percent. The reduction in the maize hybrid seed price will leads to increase in adoption of hybrid seed, hence will help to increase the wellbeing of the farmers as currently, only 30 percent of maize area is under hybrids mainly due to lack of affordability.

description: Since the dawn of civilization, a struggle for power has dominated the national and international scene. States and governments use power to achieve their objectives - the maintenance of order, the administration of justice, and defense against aggression. Power, in itself, is neither good nor bad. It is ethically neutral and becomes good or bad only as it is used for noble or evil ends. The relative power of states depends not alone on military force, but on such equally important factors as extent of territory, size of population, supply or lack of raw materials, gross national productivity, effective social integration, political stability and national spirit.

description: The massless field of spin 1 is defined on the eight-dimensional configuration space; this space is a direct product of Minkowski space and of a two-dimensional complex sphere. Field equations for the spin-one field are derived from a Dirac-like Lagrangian separately for the translation group and Lorentz group parts. It is shown that a Dirac form of Maxwell equations (so-called Majorana-Oppenheimer formulation of electrodynamics) follows directly from the field equations of translation group part. The photon field is realized via Biedenharn type functions on the Poincaré group. This allows us to consider both Dirac and Maxwell fields on an equal footing, as the functions on the Poincaré group.

description: Using panel data of 31 provinces during 1997-2014 in China, this paper fills the void of examining the determinants of capital flows across regions within China specific attention is given to the role of government size in capital flows across Shanhai Pass. Based on the fixed-effect model, the impactors of classical capital flows are tested. While government size is the main hinder impeding capital flows, capital return, institutional quality, human capital is conducive to capital inflow. However, when the components of the aggregate government expenditures is divided into two parts of productive expenditures on physical infrastructure and on education, it is proved that productive expenditures on physical infrastructure negatively correlate with capital inflows. In particular, there is strong impact of Lucas paradox that is the negative correlation of TFP and GDP growth with capital inflows; more importantly, lagged saving rate has a significantly positive impact on capital inflows namely the Feldstein-Horioka puzzle indicates the severe capital market segmentation. Overall, the main findings are that oversized government, especially government expenditures on physical infrastructure are major impediments to china s capital inflows among regions. Therefore, it is urgent to let market play a fundamental role in resource allocation, especially capital allocation.

description: We study the spectrum $\{λ_j(m)\}_{j=1}^{\infty}$ of a timelike Killing vector field $Z$ acting as a differential operator $D_Z$ on the Hilbert space of solutions of the massive Klein-Gordon equation $(\Box_g + m^2) u = 0$ on a globally hyperbolic stationary spacetime $(M, g)$ with compact Cauchy hypersurface. The inverse mass $m^{-1}$ is formally like the Planck constant in a Schrödinger equation, and we give Weyl asymptotics as $m \to \infty$ for the number $$N_{ν, C}(m)= \# \{j \mid \frac{λ_j(m)}{m} \in [ν- \frac{C}{m}, ν+ \frac{C}{m} ]\}$$ for a given $C > 0$. The semi-classical mass asymptotics are governed by the dynamics of the Killing flow $e^{tZ} $ on the hypersurface in the space of mass $1$ geodesics $γ$ where $\langle \dotγ, Z \rangle= ν$.

description: Since the dawn of civilization, a struggle for power has dominated the national and international scene. States and governments use power to achieve their objectives - the maintenance of order, the administration of justice, and defense against aggression. Power, in itself, is neither good nor bad. It is ethically neutral and becomes good or bad only as it is used for noble or evil ends. The relative power of states depends not alone on military force, but on such equally important factors as extent of territory, size of population, supply or lack of raw materials, gross national productivity, effective social integration, political stability and national spirit.

description: Crop insurance is one of the important risk management strategies adopted by farmers. However, one of the biggest challenge Government faces while promoting insurance is in setting optimum premium for crop insurance which can achieve higher participation of farmers in Insurance programme. With premium rate set at 1.5% of sum insured for wheat crop, are the farmers are willing to pay the premium at this rate to insure their wheat crop? It would be interesting to investigate this question in state like Punjab which has not implemented crop insurance. We conducted a Contingent Valuation Study to elicit Willingness to Pay (WTP) for crop insurance of wheat farmers in Punjab state. The sample consisted of 617 wheat farmers spread across 60 villages of 12 districts in Punjab. We found that it is farmers who has suffered crop loss in the past found to have higher WTP. Asset worthy farmers, banking literacy, extension contact was also found to have positive impact on WTP. The study indicated that WTP for crop insurance is around Rs 297 / acre, which is less than the existing rate of premium which is approximately Rs. 400 /acre (premium rate of 1.5%). Acknowledgement :
title: A biochemical and modelling study of the life history of Antarctic krill, Euphausia superba.
Creators: name: Arnold, Katharine H
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2007

description: This thesis investigates various aspects of the energetics of Antarctic krill, Euphausia superba. In the first section, proximate chemical and elemental composition is examined in relation to life history, environmental variability and physiology. It is shown that life-history stage has a significant effect on both proximate and elemental composition. Krill growth in the field was found to differ markedly between individuals, so the observed variability in chemical composition is investigated with respect to differing growth rates in an attempt to derive a predictive relationship between elemental composition and growth in krill. It is shown that elemental composition cannot provide a proxy for short term variations in growth rate. A method is then developed which applied modified stoichiometric theory to krill to determine proximate composition from elemental composition data. It is possible to predict realistic chemical composition for all life history stages from elemental composition data which reflects that directly measured.

In the second section, an energy budget model for Antarctic krill is developed, incorporating a novel representation of the energetic costs of growth. This model is then used to explore key aspects of the life history of krill (growth, maturity and reproductive success) under a range of environmental conditions. The model produced an ecologically realistic simulation of growth and reproduction in female krill. These simulations indicated that food availability and temperature have a highly significant role in determining the life history of krill, with a potentially significant knock-on effect to the Southern Ocean ecosystem. Results of the model predict an average growth rate of 0.05 mm d-1, but that in times of scarce food temperature has a significant effect on growth. A significant benefit to the animal occurs from being in cold waters during periods of limited food.

description: Metastable states form by charge (electron and hole) capture in defects in a solid. They play an important role in dosimetry, information storage, and many medical and industrial applications of photonics. Despite many decades of research, the exact mechanisms resulting in luminescence signals such as optically/thermally stimulated luminescence (OSL or TL) or long persistent luminescence through charge transfer across the metastable states remain poorly understood. Our lack of understanding owes to the fact that such luminescence signals arise from a convolution of several steps such as charge (de)trapping, transport and recombination, which are not possible to track individually. Here we present a novel coupled RPL(radio-photoluminescence)/OSL system based on an electron trap in a ubiquitous, natural, geophotonic mineral called feldspar (aluminosilicate). RPL/OSL allows understanding the dynamics of the trapped electrons and trapped holes individually. We elucidate for the first time trap distribution, thermal eviction, and radiation-induced growth of trapped electron and holes. The new methods and insights provided here are crucial for next generation model-based applications of luminescence dating in Earth and environmental sciences, e.g. thermochronometry and photochronometry.

description: The goal of this paper is to investigate Gevrey properties of formal solutions of certain generalized linear partial differential equations with variable coefficients. In particular, we extend the notion of moment partial differential equations to include differential operators that are not connected with kernel functions. Using the modified version of Nagumo norms and the properties of the Newton polygon we compute the Gevrey estimate for formal solutions of such generalized partial differential equations.

description: Background: Interaction effects of physical activity (PA), diet, and sedentary behavior (SB) are included as obesity behavioral determinants mainly in youth and may vary according to economic and cultural aspects. Purpose: This systematic review aimed to identify clusters of PA, diet, and SB among youth according to countries’ income. Methods: This study was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42018094826). Five electronic databases were assessed. Studies that analyzed only PA, diet, and SB by applying data-based cluster procedures in samples of children or adolescents were eligible. Cluster characteristics were extracted in accordance to authors’ descriptions and countries’ income was obtained from World Bank data. Results: 11,910 articles have been reached and 25 were included. Thirty-nine clusters were found in high-, 22 in upper-middle and 7 in low-income countries. Clusters characterized by “High PA” (n=9) and “High SB and high consumption of sugar, salt, and beverages (SSB)”(n=8) were the most common and were observed in all incomes. The healthiest profile “High PA and F&V; Low SB and SSB” (n=6) was observed only in high-income countries. Clusters “High SSB”, “High SB” and “Low PA, SB, SSB and High F&V” were found only in upper-middle and low-income countries. Conclusion: Clusters behaviors in youth seems to vary depending on the country's economic condition. However, most studies have come from high-income countries, then more studies are needed in lower income countries to understand the variation of these behaviors in youth population. These results support the necessity on tailoring multicomponent intervention programs including more than one behavior at the same time. Funding: None.

description: This study of aspects and problems of the foreign policy of postwar Western Germany is the result of research which led from specific questions discussed in West German newspapers, monographs, books, and official Allied releases to the area of the newly established local governments, institutions, parties, and finally to the German Federal Government itself. As the work progressed, it became clear that postwar German policy could be explained only in terms of the policy pursued by the two political groupings headed by the United States and the Soviet Union.

description: This paper investigates the effect of climate change on crop and livestock choices using two discrete choice models: Multinomial Logit (MNL) and Nested Logit (NL) models. Taking advantage of a new-plot level dataset for Mexico we identify the effect of climate on agriculturalists observed choices. Using Geographical Information Systems (GIS) we combine data on 31 types of crops and livestock encountered in 219,985 and 168,265 plots corresponding to the 2012 and 2014 agricultural years with climate data. Also included in the analysis are the expected output and input prices, soil types, indicators of access to markets and information, socio-demographic characteristics of the farmer, and subsidy payments. We find strong evidence about the inappropriateness of the Independence of Irrelevant Alternatives (IIA) assumption underpinning the MNL model. This finding leads to remarkable differences in the predictions from the MNL and NL models. Speculations about the effect of climate change on farmers choices suggest that in the event of a warmer and drier future, Mexican agriculturalists will move their production efforts from alfalfa, cacao, beef cattle, grapes, onions, oranges, red tomato, soy, and sugar cane to bananas, barley, lemon, squash and potatoes.
