description: Effects of social capital (SC hereinafter) on household welfare (rice yield, income, health) were examined in rice granary area of south peninsula Malaysia. SC is categorized into eight types by its form (structural and cognitive) and function (birding, linking, and bracing). OLS is used for estimation on randomly selected 60 household data. As for self-rated health status, those attending more community activity (bonding structural SC) appear less healthy, seemingly that old farmers normally have more time to spend on community activities and they are more loyal to their organization. Those who highly evaluate bureaucratic organization (linking cognitive SC) are relatively healthier. Frequency of attending community activities (bonding structural SC) and duration of involvement in organization (birding structural SC)) contribute to higher rice yield. Farmers who have wider and longer relationships with organizations seem to perform better farming. Wile official status in formal organization (linking structural SC) and involvement in bureaucratic organization (bracing structural SC) cause a decline in ric e productivity. The finding of bonding/bridging structural social capital has positive effect on productivity suggests that to further improve farming performance, more spontaneous and horizontal farmer-to-farmer connections became increasingly important. At the same time, to alleviate poverty, bracing structural social capital which strengthens both vertical and horizontal human network appears important. The efficacy of networking is also reflected by the positive sign of cognitive linking social capital for income and health.

description: We study a system of an impurity spin coupled to a junction of several Tomonaga-Luttinger liquids using a renormalization group scheme. For the decoupled S-matrix at the junction, there is a range of Kondo couplings which flow to a multi-channel fixed point for repulsive inter-electron interactions; this is associated with a characteristic temperature dependence of the spin-flip scatterings. If the junction is governed by the Griffiths S-matrix, the Kondo couplings flow to a strong coupling fixed point where all the wires are decoupled.

description: Is extension an effective tool for increasing social welfare? The objective of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of farmer financial participation in extension as an alternative to increase its efficiency. While extension costs have been high, the impact at farmers' welfare has not yielded the expected results. Rice production in Nigeria and Benin is used as a study case. Rice is an important food crop and cash crops and both countries have conditions to produce it locally. Two concepts are used to evaluate private participation: farmers' capability to pay (CTP) and requirement to pay (RTP) for extension. Farmers' capability to pay is evaluated from the expected increase benefit due to extension work. Requirement to pay is deducted from extension costs. Results show that rice farmers could initially contribute with 25% of the extension costs in Nigeria and 10% in Benin. While financial participation from farmers is a possibility, the role of the government is still needed to guarantee social welfare.

description: As a result of the growing world population and enhanced by the rising of living standards, competition for water is growing and this causes increased pressure on water resources worldwide. This tendency gave rise to the development of the integrated water resources management approach (IWRM), acknowledging the need to manage water resources in a holistic and integrated way. The IWRM objective to optimize economic, social and environmental outcomes of water management, can however only be reached if impact of water uses is correctly assessed. Nevertheless, often multiple uses of water within sectors are insufficiently recognized in planning and management. One of these neglected uses is the productive water use by households. Nonetheless, this use is extremely important to the livelihood of the poor, especially in the vast semi-arid rural areas of the developing world. An adequate evaluation of this use will not only help to improve outcome of water management, but will also add to the goal of poverty reduction. In this study, the role of productive water use for the rural community of the Ukambani district in Kenya was monitored, thereby focusing on income contributions and improvements in nutritional status.

description: Z Oph, HD149757, is an O9.5 Vnn star with a very high projected rotational velocity (vsini >= 340 km\s). It is also a classical runaway star due to its high proper motion. We perform a quantitative analysis of its optical spectrum in order to measure important observables of the star such as its mass, effective temperature, luminosity and He, C, N, and O abundances. Comparing these observed values to those predicted by the rotating evolutionary models of the Geneva group we find that none of the two sets of models is capable of reproducing the characteristics of the star. Nevertheless, due to its runaway nature, the reason for this discrepancy may be that the star is not the result of the evolution of a single object, but the product of the evolution of a close binary system.

The spacetime is future geodesically complete in the special case of plane symmetry with only a scalar field. Causal geodesics are also shown to be future complete for homogeneous solutions of the Einstein-Vlasov-scalar field system with plane and hyperbolic symmetry.

description: European monetary integration was one element in the process of financial market integration but by far not the only one. The paper traces the development of financial markets and systems in Europe from the beginnings of the euromarkets in the 1950s over early exchange rate arrangements and the establishment of the Single Market program to the launch of the euro and its effects. Not surprisingly, the contribution of the common currency to financial integration has been the stronger the more national markets have in common and the greater the importance of currency risk as discriminating factor. It has been most successful in the interbank market for very short-term unsecured deposits and in markets for bonds and derivatives, and played a lesser role for collateralised instruments and equities where differences in institutions and systems as well as cultural aspects impose stronger impediments. Experience has shown that in the process of financial integration a common currency is no substitute for the removal of institutional barriers and other obstacles hindering the free move of financial institutions and services. And, it cannot compensate for the specific information about individuals, firms and products required in some market segments that is a lasting impediment to full integration.

description: The aim of the paper is to develop a theoretical framework for analyzing regional adjustment processes after idiosyncratic shocks. The model builds on the macroeconomic approach with monopolistic competition on goods and labor markets. It is shown how interregional factor mobility affects wage-setting behavior and labor supply. The dynamics of this extended model are explicitly taken into account. For a special case we can derive the characteristics of the adjustment process analytically. Under certain conditions the model exhibits hysteresis, i.e. temporary shocks on the price level or the unemployment rate can have a permanent effect on production and potential labor supply. It is argued that a suitable method for investigating regional adjustment processes empirically would be a panel VAR approach with integrated and co-integrated variables.

description: How does technical progress affect long-term unemployment? The relationship between long-term unemployment and the rate of growth attributable to technical progress is evaluated in a growth-matching-model with heterogeneous jobless workers and with endogenously determined long-term unemployed resulting from skill-depreciation. For innovation economies characterized by high steady-state levels of capital intensities the model shows that, due to a capitalization effect and a qualification-mismatch effect, increasing technological progress has adverse implications for long-term unemployment. Furthermore, for imitation economies with low steady-state capital intensities increasing technological progress can be either favorable or less favorable for long-term unemployment depending on whether the creative destruction effect or the capitalization effect dominates. Wie beeinflusst der technische Fortschritt die Langzeitarbeitslosigkeit? Die Beziehung zwischen Langzeitarbeitslosigkeit und der Wachstumsrate des technischen Fortschritts wird in einem Wachstums-Matching-Modell mit heterogenen Arbeitslosen und mit endogen bestimmter Langzeitarbeitslosigkeit, die auf Qualifikationsverlust zurückzuführen ist, analysiert. Für Innovationsländer, die durch hohe gleichgewichtige Kapitalintensitäten charakterisiert werden können, wird in dem Model gezeigt, dass steigender technischer Fortschritt aufgrund eines Kapitalisierungs- und eines Qualifikations-Mismatch- Effekts negative Implikationen für die Langzeitarbeitslosigkeit hat. Für Imitationsländer mit einer geringen gleichgewichtigen Kapitalintensität kann beschleunigter technischer Fortschritt positiv oder negativ auf die Langzeitarbeitslosigkeit wirken, je nachdem, ob der Effekt der kreativen Zerstörung oder der Kapitalisierungseffekt dominiert.
Properties of supercritical water oxygen mixtures
Creators: name: Wang, Shuo
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Supercritical water oxidation (SCWO) is a new process of waste treatment. The use of water and oxygen in SCWO makes it necessary to examine this mixture's thermodynamic properties, especially in the supercritical region around 25MPa. The Redlich-Kwong-Soave (RKS) and Hard-Sphere equations of state (EOS) are used to predict the fractions of the components and the constant pressure heat capacity of the supercritical water-oxygen mixture. The parameters in Hard Sphere EOS are adjusted for pressure of 25MPa while the parameters in the RKS EOS are taken from research papers (Abrams, D. S. and J. M. Prausnitz, AIChEJournal, Vol.21, No.l, 116-128(1975); Dahl, S. and M. L. Michelsen, AIChE Journal, Vol.36, No.12, 1829-1836(1990)). Phase boundaries vary with pressure and temperature. For phase boundary calculations, the results of both models are better for lower pressure. At the pressure of 50MPa, the Hard Sphere EOS has more accurate results than the RKS EOS. The RKS EOS predicts the heat capacity more accurately than the Hard Sphere EOS at the pressures of 24MPa and 26MPa. At 24MPa for 2% oxygen mixture, the error of the peak value is about 15% for RKS EOS and about 40% for the Hard Sphere EOS. For the RKS EOS, the peak position differences with experimental results are within 2-3°C. Specific volumes are needed to verify the equations of state. A venturi was used to measure the density of the mixture. At a fixed mass flow rate, the pressure difference is proportional to specific volume. The diameter of the tube in the SCWO pilot plant is 6.2mm. The throat diameter is 3mm. Results show that the sound speed is much higher than the velocity at the throat when the mass flow rate of 0.0367kg/s is applied. The pressure difference between the inlet and the throat of the venturi can be measured by the transducer currently available in the lab. Measurements in the supercritical region are more stable than those in the subcritical region. Discharge coefficients were applied according to the water flow rates. The density predicted by the RKS EOS has better agreement to the experimental data in the supercritical region than that in the subcritical region. Excess volume is also calculated. It has a similar behavior to the heat capacity in that it reaches a maximum near the critical point. The peak varies with pressure and temperature.

description: In this paper we find evidence that the new economic geography approach is able to describe and explain the spatial characteristics of an economy, in our case the German economy. Using German district data we estimate the structural parameters of a new economic geography model as developed by Helpman (1998) and Hanson (1998) and we find confirmation for a spatial wage structure. The advantage of the Helpman- Hanson model is that it incorporates the fact that agglomeration of economic activity increases the prices of local (non-tradable) services, like housing. This model thereby provides an intuitively appealing spreading force that allows for less extreme agglomeration patterns than predicted by the bulk of new economic geography models. Based on different estimation strategies and taking a number of features of the re-unified German economy into account, we do not only test for the spatial distribution of wages but also for the spatial structure with respect to German unemployment, employment and land prices.

description: At the beginning of December 2003 the ninth conference of the parties (COP) of the UN framework convention on climate change (Rio declaration 1992) will take place. This meeting is crucial as it depends only on Russia's ratification to get the Kyoto protocol started soon. This paper reflects the current state of the protocol and highlights the particular features of COP 9, e.g. the double ratification hurdle, which - as a technical speciality of the protocol - was suitable to strengthen Russia's position in these negotiations up to now. It will be discussed, why Russia shall comply with the protocol for its own sake, too. Only one of the flexible Kyoto instruments is considered hereby: emissions trading. Two arguments are used for making the point, that it is in Russia's interest to enable the protocol´s functioning: only by compliance Russia could sever its hot air; another strand of thinking refers to the accretion of Russia´s natural gas exports. Beyond that dynamic efficiency gains of emissions trading are highlighted in general.

description: Tourism industry has been applauded for being the sunrise industry for its continuous growth and potential to alleviate poverty. India is a country with diverse untapped tourism resources and also, a country that has suffered from persistent poverty. Henceforth, the tourism sector can act as a panacea to the problem of poverty especially in a developing country like India. In the last two decades, a good number of tourism initiatives with a ‘Pro-poor approach’ are launched in India but there is hardly any study that has put light on the effectiveness of such initiatives or policies on the poor or how such tourism approach or strategy
can be more effective in the Indian context. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to evaluate and envisage the various initiatives promoting Pro-poor Tourism in India since last two decades and to study the critical aspects of the Pro-poor tourism in India as a contribution to the existing literature. Designed with an exploratory approach this paper sheds light on various initiatives relating to the pro-poor tourism in India in last two decades. Data have been collected from reputed journals, Govt. Documents and Reports, Edited Books of both National and International Publishers. The study concludes that despite the massive potential of
pro-poor tourism initiatives, the power of tourism to alleviate poverty in India have not been completely harnessed so far
Financial Risks, Bankruptcy Probabilities, and the Investment Behaviour of Enterprises

description: The link between investment and finance usually enters the empirical literature in the form of financial constraints which are defined as the wedge between the costs of internal and external finance or as the risk of being rationed on the credit market. In this context, the sensitivity of investment with respect to single internal or external finance indicators is assumed to be appropriate to proxy for these constraints. However, enterprises that rely on external funds do not only face this external finance premium and potential borrowing limits, but also the risk of not being able to meet their repayment obligations and thus the risk of bankruptcy. If the risk of bankruptcy enters the profit maximization of the firm, the resulting empirical investment function includes the probability of survival as an additional explanatory variable. This modified neoclassical investment equation is tested with West German panel data which include more than 6000 enterprises and cover a period of 12 years. The empirical results confirm the assumption that the risk of bankruptcy is an important determinant of the enterprises' investment behaviour. Additionally, the results raise the question whether financial constraints respective cash flow sensitivies are the appropriate way to test for the influence of the financial sphere on the investment decisions of enterprises, or whether bankruptcy probabilities better account for these potential financial risks.

description: The authors suggest a multi-layered system of three convergence criteria - similar to those used in the run-up to the European monetary union - that define the notion of "demonstrable progress" towards reaching the emission commitments under the Kyoto Protocol. These are the existence of an independently evaluated national emissions inventory, the level of domestic policies and measures, and the quantitative convergence of emissions towards the Kyoto target. While the first of these criteria constitutes a necessary condition for participation in the use of flexible instruments, the other two determine the degree of participation allowed for any given Annex I country. Wir schlagen - analog zur Bestimmung der Teilnehmer an der Wirtschafts- und Währungsunion in der EU - ein mehrschichtiges System von Konvergenzkriterien vor, die zur Definition des 2005 zu überprüfenden "nachweisbaren Fortschritts" beim Erreichen der Treibhausgasemissionsziele des Kyoto-Protokolls dienen. Die Existenz unabhängig begutachteter Treibhausgasinventare ist unseres Erachtens eine notwendige Bedingung zur Teilnahme an den flexiblen Instrumenten. Das Niveau heimischer Politikmaßnahmen und die quantitative Konvergenz der inländischen Emissionen auf das Kyoto-Ziel hin sollen bestimmen, in welchem Maße die flexiblen Instrumente genutzt werden können.

description: Border regions are likely to play a critical role within the spatial dynamics initiated by the enlargement of the EU. This paper deals with the effects of integration on labour markets in border regions. Within the framework of different theoretical approaches, the effects of integration on labour markets in border regions are analysed. Furthermore, we investigate empirically the degree of labour market integration in European border regions. As indicators for the intensity of integration among neighbouring labour markets measures of spatial association are applied. Results of an analysis of per capita income and unemployment for the period from 1995 to 2000 point to a measurable spatial segmentation of labour markets between EU15 countries along national borders. On average, border regions in the EU are characterised by a lower degree of labour market integration with neighbouring regions than non-border areas due to significant border impediments that hamper equilibrating forces between labour markets on both sides of national frontiers.

description: We discuss hybrid inflation in supersymmetric flipped SU(5) model such that the cosmic microwave anisotropy $δT/T$ is essentially proportional to $(M /M_{P})^2$, where $M$ denotes the symmetry breaking scale and $M_{P}$ ($=2.4\times 10^{18}$ GeV) is the reduced Planck mass. The magnitude of $M$ determined from $δT/T$ measurements can be consistent with the value inferred from the evolution of SU(3) and SU(2) gauge couplings. In other words, one could state that flipped SU(5) predicts (more precisely `postdicts') $δT/T$. The scalar spectral index $n_s = 0.993\pm 0.007$, the scalar to tensor ratio satisfies $r \lapproxeq 10^{-6}$, while $dn_s/d{\rm ln}k \lapproxeq 4\times 10^{-4}$.

description: In this paper we define a noncommutative (NC) Metafluid Dynamics \cite{Marmanis}. We applied the Dirac's quantization to the Metafluid Dynamics on NC spaces. First class constraints were found which are the same obtained in \cite{BJP}. The gauge covariant quantization of the non-linear equations of fields on noncommutative spaces were studied. We have found the extended Hamiltonian which leads to equations of motion in the gauge covariant form. In addition, we show that a particular transformation \cite{Djemai} on the usual classical phase space (CPS) leads to the same results as of the $\star$-deformation with $ν=0$. Besides, we will shown that an additional term is introduced into the dissipative force due the NC geometry. This is an interesting feature due to the NC nature induced into model.

description: Changes in consumer demand have led to a prolonged decline in per capita consumption of sweet potatoes, both fresh and processed form. With a product line of various container sizes and styles, processors may respond to changes by altering product line composition to enhance sales. Changes in quantity of individual products were contrasted to changes in nominal and real prices. Quantities were not consistently related to real prices in an inverse manner, though recent increases in total production of canned sweet potatoes have occurred while real price has decreased.

description: The federated analysis platform defined by this task aims to provide technological solutions for three exemplar use cases: Federated joint cohort genotyping; Polygenic Risk Scores (PRS) workflow across two similar ethnic background sample sets; Federated QTL analysis for molecular phenotypes. In this deliverable, we gathered the technical requirements based on these use case descriptions and wrote a short design document which explains the requirements and lists the different options for a solution.  Three distinct frameworks were considered to address the requirements from the use-cases. The chosen framework supports different computing environments, which is a requirement for true federated analysis. The framework also supports extending compatibility with GA4GH standards, such as WES, htsget, and AAI / Passports. Plans to extend this proposed solution beyond these initial sites will be carried out after the initial phase of validation.

description: The results of a cross-tabulation analysis indicate that health-related concerns for roasts, steaks and ground beef are expressed significantly more frequently by survey participants eating less beef as compared to those who report the same amount in beef usage. The results generally suggest that chicken is served more frequently by those eating less beef than by those who have not changed their beef-eating habits or are eating more beef. Expense was identified as a concern for both roasts and steaks. Those eating less beef are typically older than those indicating more or the same beef usage.
Spin-Hall effect: Back to the Beginning on a Higher Level

description: The phenomena of the spin-Hall effect, initially proposed over three decades ago in the context of asymmetric Mott skew scattering, was revived recently by the proposal of a possible intrinsic spin-Hall effect originating from a strongly spin-orbit coupled band structure. This new proposal has generated an extensive debate and controversy over the past two years. The purpose of this workshop, held at the Asian Pacific Center for Theoretical Physics, was to bring together many of the leading groups in this field to resolve such issues and identify future challenges. We offer this short summary to clarify the now settled issues on some of the more controversial aspects of the debate and help refocus the research efforts in new and important avenues.

description: Sales for organically grown foods, particularly organic fresh produce are increasing. This study focuses on the characteristics of grocery stores in New Mexico who sell or intend to sell organic foods. The results suggest most grocery stores do not carry organic foods because of the low availability and perceived consumer demand. However, stores that sell organic foods reported consumer demand prompted them to carry organic foods. The results can provide information for grocery stores to further understand problems and benefits associated with adopting organic foods.

description: We present a viewpoint of the transport process in quantum cascade laser structures in which spatial transport of charge through the structure is a property of coherent quantum-mechanical wavefunctions. In contrast, scattering processes redistribute particles in energy and momentum but do not directly cause spatial motion of charge.

Year: 2024

description: We present and generalize the basic ideas underlying recent work aimed at the construction of mutually unbiased bases in finite dimensional Hilbert spaces with the help of group and graph theoretical concepts. In this approach finite groups are used to construct maximal sets of mutually unbiased bases. Thus the prime number restrictions of previous approaches are circumvented and this construction principle sheds new light onto the intricate relation between mutually unbiased bases and characteristic geometrical structures of Hilbert spaces.

description: This study analyzed consumer response to potatoes tested for pesticide residues. These potatoes were packed in five pound bags and priced at three different levels in participating supermarkets. Even when sold at identical prices, consumers continued to favor the traditional round white over the reside-tested potatoes. However, sales of residue-tested were equal at all three price levels, indicating little price resistance among consumers interested in this type of product.
New geographies of the contemporary novel: scale, border, semi-periphery, world
Creators: name: Lazzari, Gabriele
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2021

description: Working at the intersection of comparative literature and novel theory, my dissertation is a comparative study of how the formal and spatial coordinates of the contemporary novel have changed in the last decades in relation to transnational migrations and to the acceleration of capitalist uneven development. I argue that the combination of these world-historical forces has led to the emergence of a new global realism that, in originating from peripheral and semi-peripheral areas of the world literary system, can more lucidly diagnose social and economic inequalities across multiple scales. I focus on texts and authors that activate multiple geographies, either through multilingualism (Igiaba Scego, Ubah Cristina Ali Farah, and Junot Díaz), multilayered narrative structures (Nuruddin Farah and Roberto Bolaño), and expansive political horizons (Vivek Shanbhag and Nicola Lagioia). Coming from diverse linguistic and cultural traditions, the authors and texts I study challenge us to develop a more historically attentive vocabulary to discuss how the contemporary novel has engaged with cultural and linguistic displacement, postcolonial diasporas, and the legacies of colonial modernity.Each of the four chapters is centered on a spatial concept: scale, border, semi- periphery, and world. I suggest that each concept functions simultaneously as a formal device, an interpretive key, and a mode of organizing the narrative space. My dissertation thus explores how the contemporary novel circulates across multiple geographies in today’s globalized marketplace, but also how it discursively incorporates them. I discuss dynamics of circulation, publishing networks, and economies of cultural prestige; at the same time, I focus on how the texts I analyze foreground their own multilingual histories and their attachments to multiple locations. In so doing, this dissertation shows that the study of contemporary works of fiction requires a spatially flexible framework in which multiplacedness is used to register colonial histories, the irruption of neoliberal forces into peripheral spaces, and the geopolitical rearrangements of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. In exploring how works of fiction articulate a consciousness of the world that is spatially grounded and historically determined, my dissertation approaches contemporary novels as indexes of the conditions of the world we inhabit—both imaginatively and materially.
NSR String in Ads_3 Backgrounds: Nonlocal Charges

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We consider NSR superstring in AdS_3 X S_3 X R_4 background. The action is expressed in terms of the variables on the group manifolds SL(2,R) and SU(2) as 1+1 dimensional sigma models with Wess-Zumino terms, associated with AdS_3 and S_3 respectively. R_4 is flat Euclidean space. We show the existence of classical nonlocal conserved currents in the superspace formulation for the nonlinear sigma model with the WZ term in the context of NSR string. We propose Ward identities utilizing the existence of the nonlocal conserved currents.

description: Product differentiation, a prerequisite for successful state promotion of state branded farm products, may be reflected by differences in the own-price, cross-price and income elasticties of demand between a state's brand and other products. This paper tests for such differentiation by estimating demand functions for tomatoes available at the retail level in New Jersey. The "Jersey Fresh" brand is shown to have higher own-price and income elasticities of demand. It is thus perceived to be of higher quality than others. Consumers are also found to be origin biased. Promotion based on the Jersey Fresh's unique attributes and on encouraging further origin bias may have a good chance of success.

description: We investigate the electronic properties of type-II superconducting Nb(110) in an external magnetic field. Scanning tunneling spectroscopy reveals a complex vortex shape which develops from circular via coffee bean-shaped to elliptical when decreasing the energy from the edge of the superconducting gap to the Fermi level. This anisotropy is traced back to the local density of states of Caroli-de-Gennes-Matricon states which exhibits a direction-dependent splitting. Oxidizing the Nb(110) surface triggers the transition from the clean to the dirty limit, quenches the vortex bound states, and leads to an isotropic appearance of the vortices. Density functional theory shows that the Nb(110) Fermi surface is stadium-shaped near the Γpoint. Calculations within the Bogoliubov-de-Gennes theory using these Fermi contours consistently reproduce the experimental results.

description: The results of a three-year study to establish baseline estimates of the importance of wholesale produce markets (WPM) are reported. It is estimated that a third of all produce marketed in the United States and Canada goes through WPM. These facilities tend to be most important in larger urban areas. Gate and unloading fees commonly charged at WPM may place them at a competitive disadvantage relative to off-market sites.
