description: We derive expressions for strangeness-changing scalar form factors, which incorporate known theoretical constraints both at low and high energies. Their leading behaviour in the limit of a large number of colours is calculated from the resonance chiral Lagrangian. A set of short-distance constraints on the scalar resonance couplings is obtained, imposing the form factors to vanish at infinite momentum transfer. Making use of previous results on S-wave KPi scattering [1], and a coupled--channel dispersion-relation analysis, the KPi, KEta and KEta' scalar form factors are calculated up to 2 GeV. These scalar form factors are a key ingredient in the determination of the corresponding scalar spectral function which is important in the extraction of the mass of the strange quark from QCD sum rules as well as hadronic tau decays.

description: Conventional regression technique is restrictive because it assumes a specific functional form for the model and the constancy of parameters. Nonparametric method, however, is flexible and supplementary to parametric analysis. In this study, impact of captive supply on the U.S. fed cattle cash market price is investigated via nonparametric analysis. Results indicate that the price effect of captive supply does not appear until its share reaches about 20% of the total cattle procurement. Beyond this point, the U.S. fed cattle price decreases approximately $0.20/cwt ~ $0.40/cwt for each percent increase in the captive supply share.

description: We demonstrate that the dipole-hadron cross-section computed from the non-linear evolution equation for the Colour Glass Condensate saturates the Froissart bound in the case of a fixed coupling and for a small dipole (Q^2 >> Lambda_{QCD}^2). That is, the cross-section increases as the logarithm squared of the energy, with a proportionality coefficient involving the pion mass and the BFKL intercept (alpha_s N_c/pi)4 ln 2. The pion mass enters via the non-perturbative initial conditions at low energy. The BFKL equation emerges as a limit of the non-linear evolution equation valid in the tail of the hadron wavefunction. We provide a physical picture for the transverse expansion of the hadron with increasing energy, and emphasize the importance of the colour correlations among the saturated gluons in suppressing non-unitary contributions due to long-range Coulomb tails. We present the first calculation of the saturation scale including the impact parameter dependence. We show that the cross-section at high energy exhibits geometric scaling with a different scaling variable as compared to the intermediate energy regime.

description: The purpose of this study is to contribute to a greater understanding of the similarities and differences in intrahousehold decision-making patterns between Korea and the Philippines based on survey data targeting married, rice-farming households. We focused on factors influencing intrahousehold decision-making patterns, as this area has received relatively less coverage in the research related to gender roles. As a result of a regression analysis, we found a common influential factor, termed here as ‘household member’, and compared decision-making patterns and social activities between households with and without a husband in each country. Our findings from this study are as follows: (1) Although Korea scored higher in agricultural work and the Philippines scored higher score in nonagricultural work, there was no significant difference in the total score. (2) The factors which affected intrahousehold decision-making patterns were slightly different between two countries. The common factors which affected the decision-making structure were the ‘total size of landholdings’ and ‘household member’. The variable of ‘household member’ was the most influential on decision-making patterns in both countries. (3) In Korea, the difference of the rate of wives' village meeting participation between the groups with and without a husband was very significant. This study showed that women’s over-empowerment not resulting from a normal condition as much as men’s over-authority could be in question; there may be a need for social support for those doing agricultural and nonagricultural work by themselves.

description: We consider a magnetic impurity coupled to both fermionic quasiparticles with a pseudogap density of states and bosonic spin fluctuations. Using renormalization group and large-N calculations we investigate the phase diagram of the resulting Fermi-Bose Kondo model. We show that the Kondo temperature is strongly reduced by low-energy spin fluctuations, and make connections to experiments in cuprate superconductors. Furthermore we derive an exact exponent for the critical behavior of the conduction electron T matrix, and propose our findings to be relevant for certain scenarios of local quantum criticality in heavy-fermion metals.

description: To study the dynamic changes of land use and predict the future land use scenarios based on the current land use, this paper uses Cellular Automata-Markov (CA-Markov) model to simulate the landscape pattern in 2030. The results show that in the study area during the period 1980-2005, grassland and construction land increased, and woodland increased slightly; waters and unused land decreased, and arable land underwent dramatic changes. The simulation precision of CA-Markov model is 87.28%, indicating that the use of it for simulation is reliable. The land use of the study area will be changed greatly in the future. This method provides a reference for the regions to carry out land prediction, and the research results can provide a basis for the study of optimization of land.

description: We investigate the learning performance of the pseudolikelihood maximization method for inverse Ising problems. In the teacher-student scenario under the assumption that the teacher's couplings are sparse and the student does not know the graphical structure, the learning curve and order parameters are assessed in the typical case using the replica and cavity methods from statistical mechanics. Our formulation is also applicable to a certain class of cost functions having locality; the standard likelihood does not belong to that class. The derived analytical formulas indicate that the perfect inference of the presence/absence of the teacher's couplings is possible in the thermodynamic limit taking the number of spins $N$ as infinity while keeping the dataset size $M$ proportional to $N$, as long as $α=M/N > 2$. Meanwhile, the formulas also show that the estimated coupling values corresponding to the truly existing ones in the teacher tend to be overestimated in the absolute value, manifesting the presence of estimation bias. These results are considered to be exact in the thermodynamic limit on locally tree-like networks, such as the regular random or Erdős--Rényi graphs. Numerical simulation results fully support the theoretical predictions. Additional biases in the estimators on loopy graphs are also discussed.

description: It is an unarguable fact that the urban-rural dual structure led to two different results. On the one hand, it had been playing a great role in the city development and prosperity, and on the other hand, it had led the slow development of rural economy and the income gap between rural and urban areas. The government makes efforts to promote the process of urbanization to maintain the sustained development of China’s economy and economic transformation which are the two needs of the Chinese reality. But in the top-level design of the policy, the government did not give a fair profits distribution to all social groups. On the contrary, the result of urban development is based on the expense of a part of the people’s interests in exchange for the interests of another parts of the people, and especially on the government expropriation in the process of urban expansion. Under Land Administration Law of the People's Republic of China, the government monopolized the expropriation right of the rural land, and the rural collectives and farmers as the land owner and constructors respectively have no rights to decide the land use purposes. In fact, they are forced to accept the land compensation, and because of the little bargaining rights, they gain little from the land value increment. Comparatively, the governments became the biggest beneficiary who made use of the land as a source and capital to earn the achievement in their official career and more money required by the urban development. The paper mainly analyzes the current situation of the distribution of the land added value, elaborates the reasons why the government strives for the land interests, and discusses what farmers lose in the government expropriation. Last but not lest, the author reflects on the land reform and gives a proposal on distribution of land added value.

description: The signal digitization for CROSS, a bolometric experiment for the search of neutrinoless double beta decay at LSC - Canfranc Underground Laboratory, will be based on a custom solution comprised of an analog-to-digital board interfaced to an Altera Cyclone V FPGA module. Each analog-to-digital board hosts 12 channels that allow data digitization up to 25 ksps per channel and an effective resolution of 21 bits at the typical sample rate required by the experiment (5 ksps). The board also allows to digitally select the cut-off frequency of the anti-aliasing filter with 10 bit resolution from 24 Hz up to 2.5 kHz, as required by fast scintillating bolometers. The FPGA is responsible for the synchronization of the analog-to-digital boards and for the data transfer to the storage, using UDP protocol on a standard Ethernet interface. Each FPGA can manage the data coming from 8 boards (96 channels), allowing an excellent scalability. In this contribution we will present a complete overview of the system, and a detailed characterization of the system performance.

description: At the heart of many econometric models are a linear function and a normal error. Examples include the classical small-sample linear regression model and the probit, ordered probit, multinomial probit, tobit, interval regression, and truncated-distribution regression models. Because the normal distribution has a natural multidimensional generalization, such models can be combined into multiequation systems in which the errors share a multivariate normal distribution. The literature has historically focused on multistage procedures for fitting mixed models, which are more efficient computationally, if less so statistically, than maximum likelihood. Direct maximum likelihood estimation has been made more practical by faster computers and simulated likelihood methods for estimating higherdimensional cumulative normal distributions. Such simulated likelihood methods include the Geweke–Hajivassiliou–Keane algorithm (Geweke, 1989, Econometrica 57: 1317–1339; Hajivassiliou and McFadden, 1998, Econometrica 66: 863–896; Keane, 1994, Econometrica 62: 95–116). Maximum likelihood also facilitates a generalization to switching, selection, and other models in which the number and types of equations vary by observation. The Stata command cmp fits seemingly unrelated regressions models of this broad family. Its estimator is also consistent for recursive systems in which all endogenous variables appear on the right-hand sides as observed. If all the equations are structural, then estimation is full-information maximum likelihood. If only the final stage or stages are structural, then estimation is limited-information maximum likelihood. cmp can mimic a score of built-in and user-written Stata commands. It is also appropriate for a panoply of models that previously were hard to estimate. Heteroskedasticity, however, can render cmp inconsistent. This article explains the theory and implementation of cmp and of a related Mata function, ghk2(), that implements the Geweke–Hajivassiliou–Keane algorithm.

description: In this article, we identify and illustrate some shortcomings of the poisson command in Stata. Specifically, we point out that the command fails to check for the existence of the estimates, and we show that it is very sensitive to numerical problems. While these are serious problems that may prevent users from obtaining estimates or may even produce spurious and misleading results, we show that the informed user often has simple workarounds available for addressing these problems.

description: Taumaceroides Lopatin, new genus
(Figs 17–20)
Body length 4.5 –5.3 mm, width at humeral calli 1.7–1.9 mm, width at posterior third of elytra 2.0– 2.1 mm. Body elongate, smooth dorsally, without hairs, hind wings well developed. Head with antennal calli nearly quadrate. Supracallinal sulci poorly developed. Midfrontal sulcus shallow but acute. Antennal sockets situated very close to each other. Frontal ridge narrow and relatively short. Anterofrontal ridge thin, well separated from frontal ridge. Gena short. Antennomeres five and six of male strongly modified (Fig. 17).
Pronotum nearly flat in lateral view and almost as wide as long, with lateral and basal margins bordered. Sides gradually widening towards middle and narrowing anteriorly. Disc with wide transverse impression anterior of middle. Procoxal cavities open.
Elytra without callosity posterior of humeral calli. Epipleura strongly constricted at metasternum, narrowing strongly towards apex. Elytral surface uneven, covered with shallow small punctures.
Metatibia thin, cylindrical, without spur. Claw with denticle.
 Type species: Taumaceroides sinicus Lopatin new species.
 Comments: Taumaceroides is similar to Taumacera in the shape of the pronotum and luck of metatibial spurs. Taumaceroides can be differentiated from Taumacera by the shape of the facial part of the head. In Taumaceroides the frontal and anterofrontal ridges are thin and well differentiated from each other. In Taumacera both ridges are thick and together form a relatively long and wide callosity. Taumaceroides is significantly smaller than Taumacera, which also has mostly yellow or brown elytra with various patterns. The dorsum of Taumaceroides is entirely metallic blue. Also, the front legs in males of Taumacera are not modified as they are in Taumaceroides.
 Etymology: The generic name refers to the similarity of this genus to Taumacera Thunberg.

description: We introduce two new Stata commands for the estimation of an ordered response model with sample selection. The opsel command uses a standard maximum-likelihood approach to fit a parametric specification of the model where errors are assumed to follow a bivariate Gaussian distribution. The snpopsel command uses the semi-nonparametric approach of Gallant and Nychka (1987, Econometrica 55: 363–390) to fit a semiparametric specification of the model where the bivariate density function of the errors is approximated by a Hermite polynomial expansion. The snpopsel command extends the set of Stata routines for semi-nonparametric estimation of discrete response models. Compared to the other semi-nonparametric estimators, our routine is relatively faster because it is programmed in Mata. In addition, we provide new postestimation routines to compute linear predictions, predicted probabilities, and marginal effects. These improvements are also extended to the set of semi-nonparametric Stata commands originally written by Stewart (2004, Stata Journal 4: 27–39) and De Luca (2008, Stata Journal 8: 190–220). An illustration of the new opsel and snpopsel commands is provided through an empirical application on self-reported health with selectivity due to sample attrition.

Furthermore, nonstochastic and stochastic curtailment rules can be implemented in both stages of the trial, and the properties of the curtailed designs can be examined.
Practically feasible robust quantum money with classical verification

description: We introduce a private quantum money scheme with the note verification procedure based on Sampling Matching, a problem in the one-way communication complexity model introduced by Kumar et al.[Nature Communications 10, Article number: 4152]. Our scheme involves a Bank that produces and distributes quantum notes, noteholders who are untrusted and trusted local verifiers of the Bank to whom the holders send their notes in order to carry out transactions. The key aspects of our money scheme include: note verification procedure requiring a single round classical interaction between the local verifier and Bank; fixed verification circuit that uses only passive linear optical components; re-usability of each note in our scheme which grows linearly with the size of note, and an unconditional security against any adversary trying to forge the banknote while tolerating the noise of up to 21.4%. We further describe a practical implementation technique of our money scheme using weak coherent states of light and the verification circuit involving a single 50/50beam splitter and 2 single-photon threshold detectors. Previous best-known matching based money scheme proposal [AA17] involves a verification circuit where the number of optical components increase proportionally to the increase in desired noise tolerance (robustness). In contrast, we achieve any desired noise tolerance (up to a maximal threshold value) with only a fixed number of optical components. This considerable reduction of components in our scheme enables us to reach the robustness values that are not feasible for any existing money scheme with the current technology.

Estimation methods available are restricted maximum likelihood, maximum likelihood, method of moments, and fixed effects. The program also allows a wider range of models (Riley’s overall correlation model and structured between-studies covariance); better estimation (using Mata for speed and correctly allowing for missing data); and new postestimation facilities (I-squared, standard errors and confidence intervals for between-studies standard deviations and correlations, and identification of the best intervention). The program is illustrated using a multipletreatments meta-analysis.

description: We implement the commands mstat and mtest to perform inference based on the M statistic, a statistic that can be used to compare the interpoint distance distribution across groups of observations. The analyses are based on the study of the interpoint distances between n points in a k-dimensional setting to produce a one-dimensional real-valued test statistic. The locations are distributed in a region of the plane. When we consider all interpoint distances, the dependencies among them are difficult to express analytically, but their distribution is informative, and the M statistic can be built to summarize one aspect of this information. The two commands can be used on a wide class of datasets to test the null hypothesis that two groups have the same (spatial) distribution. mstat and mtest return the exact M test statistic. Moreover, mtest executes a Monte Carlo–type permutation test, which returns the empirical p-value together with its confidence interval. This is the command to use in most situations, because the convergence of M to its asymptotic chi-squared distribution is slow. Both commands can be used to obtain graphical output of the empirical density function of the interpoint distance distributions in the two groups and the twodimensional map of the n observations in the plane. The descriptions of the commands are accompanied by examples of applications with real and simulated data. We run the test on the Alt and Vach grave site dataset (Manjourides and Pagano, forthcoming, Statistics in Medicine) and reject the null hypothesis, in contradiction to other published analyses. We also show how to adapt the techniques to discrete datasets with more than one unit in each location. Finally, we report an extensive application on breast cancer data in Massachusetts; in the application, we show the compatibility of the M commands with Pisati’s spmap package.

description: The experience with Vertisols technology generation, diffusion and adoption process in case study areas indicate that either a full package of a technology may be adopted or some components of a package may be adopted depending on farmer knowledge, needs and resource conditions. Gradually adoption may evolve from components to the package as a whole. Experience also indicate that technology adoption is not a one-off static decision rather it involves a dynamic process in which information gathering, learning and experience play pivotal roles particularly in the early stage of adoption. Farmers move from learning to adoption to continuous or discontinuous use over time. The characteristics of both the user and the technology are important in explaining adoption behaviour and the pathway for adoption. The sets of factors that may significantly influence decisions to acquire knowledge about BBM, to adopt and then to use it continuously or discontinuously may be different. The lag between learning and adoption, and the possibility of discontinuation and readoption imply that a longer period will require for majority of the farmers to use the technology than if adoption was a one off decision leading to continuous use.

description: Yunnaniata Lopatin, new genus
(Figs 21–27)
Body length 8.0 mm, width at humeral calli 3.0 mm, width at posterior third of elytra 5.0 mm. Body widely ovoid, strongly widening posteriorly. Flightless. Antennae short, wide (Fig. 21). Antennomere two slightly shorter than three or four (Fig. 21). Maxillary palpi slender, palpomeres two and three strongly widening distally, nearly triangular. Palpomere four small and narrow, narrowing distally. Antennal calli nearly triangular.
Pronotum (Fig. 22) weakly convex, with anterior corners protruding anteriorly. Pronotal sides straight and parallel-sided from base to middle, widening and rounded towards apex. Pronotal disk with light impressions on sides. Anterior margin with slight border. Lateral margins slightly swollen and separated by thin longitudinal impression visible only anteriorly.
Elytra with rounded humeri, anteriorly much wider than pronotum. Elytral punctures confused. Epipleura wide, narrowing across metacoxae, disappearing before apex.
Procoxal cavities open. Intercoxal prosternal process narrow, widening posteriorly. Mesosternum wide, strongly bordered, widely connected with metasternum (Fig. 23).
Legs thick, meso- and metatibiae with short, poorly visible spur. First metatarsomere as long as two following tarsomeres together. Ventral surface of tarsomeres covered with thick hairs, only third tarsomere has thin, bare groove. Claw with denticle.
 Type species: Yunnaniata konstantinovi Lopatin, new species.
 Comments: Yunnaniata is similar to Spitiella Laboissierre and Paraspitiella Chen and Jang, but can be separated from both genera by its thick and short antenna, with antennomeres two to seven of the same length. Yunnaniata also can be separated from Spitiella by the open procoxal cavities and small eyes, and from Paraspitiella by the absence of the hind wings, the shape of the pronotum, and wide elytra.
 Etymology: The generic name refers to the type locality.

Implications of B -> rho gamma measurements in the Standard Model and Supersymmetric Theories

description: We study the implications of the recently improved upper limits on the branching ratios for the decays B -> rho gamma, expressed as R(rho gamma/K^* gamma) = BR(B -> rho gamma)/BR(B -> K^* gamma) <0.047. We work out the constraints that the current bound on R(rho gamma/K^* gamma) implies on the parameters of the quark mixing matrix in the standard model (SM). Using the present profile of the unitarity triangle, we predict this ratio to be R(rho gamma/K^* gamma) = 0.023 +/- 0.012. We also work out the correlations involving R(rho gamma/K^* gamma), the isospin-violating ratio Delta (rho gamma), and the direct CP-violating asymmetry A_CP (rho gamma) in B -> rho gamma decays in the SM, in the minimal supersymmetric extension of the SM (MSSM), and in an extension of the MSSM involving an additional flavor-changing structure in b -> d transitions.

Ricci Subtraction for Cosmological Coleman-Weinberg Potentials

description: We reconsider the fine-tuning problem of scalar-driven inflation arising from the need to couple the inflaton to ordinary matter in order to make reheating efficient. Quantum fluctuations of this matter induce Coleman-Weinberg corrections to the inflaton potential, depending (for de Sitter background) in a complex way on the ratio of the inflaton to the Hubble parameter. These corrections are not Planck-suppressed and cannot be completely subtracted because they are not even local for a general geometry. A previous study showed that it is not satisfactory to subtract a local function of just the inflaton and the {\it initial} Hubble parameter. This paper examines the other allowed possibility of subtracting a local function of the inflaton and the Ricci scalar. The problem in this case is that the new, scalar degree of freedom induced by the subtraction causes inflation to end almost instantly.

description: In this work, the mass of the strange quark is calculated from QCD sum rules for the divergence of the strangeness-changing vector current. The phenomenological scalar spectral function which enters the sum rule is determined from our previous work on strangeness-changing scalar form factors [1]. For the running strange mass in the MS_bar scheme, we find m_s(2 GeV) = 99 +- 16 MeV. Making use of this result and the light-quark mass ratios obtained from chiral perturbation theory, we are also able to extract the masses of the lighter quarks m_u and m_d. We then obtain m_u(2 GeV) = 2.9 +- 0.6 MeV and m_d(2 GeV) = 5.2 +- 0.9 MeV. In addition, we present an updated value for the light quark condensate.

description: We present an analysis of DES17X1boj and DES16E2bjy, two peculiar transients discovered by the Dark Energy Survey (DES). They exhibit nearly identical double-peaked light curves which reach very different maximum luminosities (M$_\mathrm{r}$ = -15.4 and M$_\mathrm{r}$ = -17.9, respectively). The light curve evolution of these events is highly atypical and has not been reported before. The transients are found in different host environments: DES17X1boj was found near the nucleus of a spiral galaxy, while DES16E2bjy is located in the outskirts of a passive red galaxy. Early photometric data is well fitted with a blackbody and the resulting moderate photospheric expansion velocities (1800 km/s for DES17X1boj and 4800 km/s for DES16E2bjy) suggest an explosive or eruptive origin. Additionally, a feature identified as high-velocity CaII absorption (v $\approx$ 9400km/s) in the near-peak spectrum of DES17X1boj may imply that it is a supernova. While similar light curve evolution suggests a similar physical origin for these two transients, we are not able to identify or characterise the progenitors.

description: We study different renormalisation group flows for scale dependent effective actions, including exact and proper-time renormalisation group flows. These flows have a simple one loop structure. They differ in their dependence on the full field-dependent propagator, which is linear for exact flows. We investigate the inherent approximations of flows with a non-linear dependence on the propagator. We check explicitly that standard perturbation theory is not reproduced. We explain the origin of the discrepancy by providing links to exact flows both in closed expressions and in given approximations. We show that proper-time flows are approximations to Callan-Symanzik flows. Within a background field formalism, we provide a generalised proper-time flow, which is exact. Implications of these findings are discussed.
