description: Recent sharp declines in numerous fish species and other ocean wildlife have forced serious reevaluation of old assumptions about the capacity of marine systems to sustain large-scale taking, especially when coupled with drastic habitat destruction, by-catch and food-web disruptions. Achieving ‘sustainable use’ of ocean wildlife is a widely-held goal, but present capacity to find, extract and transport marine life to distant markets generally exceeds the capacity of the exploited species and supporting ecosystems to recover. The role of fully protected areas within large marine management regimes or ‘seascapes’ is becoming recognised as a vital part of what is needed to restore depleted populations and ecosystems and maintain their long-term integrity. Already, some nations have begun to develop broad management plans for their Exclusive Economic Zones and to consider policies governing protection and use of wildlife in the 60% of the ocean beyond national jurisdictions. Protection of breeding, feeding and nursery areas, more realistic catch expectations and development of non-destructive methods of extraction will help reverse the present declines. But inevitably, maintaining or enhancing present levels of food derived from aquatic animals will depend on identifying and cultivating the ocean and freshwater equivalents of cows, chickens and pigs — fast growing, nutritious creatures that are low on the food chain. These issues are explored in this paper, together with a focus on the economic and ecological importance of marine life other than as marketable commodities. In particular, the importance of life in the ocean as essential components of Earth’s ‘life support system’ is acknowledged and a case made for maintaining the health of the ocean as a fundamental requirement for enduring human security.

description: We trap and cool a gas composed of 40K and 87Rb, using a two-species magneto-optical trap (MOT). This trap represents the first step towards cooling the Bose-Fermi mixture to quantum degeneracy. Laser light for the MOT is derived from laser diodes and amplified with a single high power semiconductor amplifier chip. The four-color laser system is described, and the single-species and two-species MOTs are characterized. Atom numbers of 1x10^7 40K and 2x10^9 87Rb are trapped in the two-species MOT. Observation of trap loss due to collisions between species is presented and future prospects for the experiment are discussed.

description: We show that the correspondence among $AdS_{3}/CFT_{2}$, the 1D Schwarzian Model, Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model and 2+1D Topological Quantum Gravity can be extended to the case of $dS_{3}/CFT_{2}$. The $R$-matrix, related to the gravitational scattering amplitude near the horizon of $dS_{3}$ black hole, corresponds (on the side of the holographic projection) to a crossing kernel in the Schwarzian Model. The $R$-matrix is related to the 6j-symbol of SU$(1,1)$. We also find that in the Euclidean $dS_{3}$ a new Kac-Moody symmetry of instantons emerges out. We dub these new solutions {\it Kac-Moodions}. A one-to-one correspondence of Kac-Moodion levels and SU$(2)$ spin representations is established. Every instanton then corresponds to spin representations deployed in Topological Quantum Gravity. The instantons are directly connected to the Black Hole entropy, as punctures on its horizon. This strongly supports the recent proposal, in arXiv:1707.00347, that a Kac-Moody symmetry of gravitational instantons is related to the black hole information processing. We also comment on a further correspondence that can be established between the Schwarzian Model and non-commutative spacetimes in 2+1D, passing through the equivalence with Topological Quantum Gravity with cosmological constant, in the limit when the latter vanishes.

This coupling peaks by tuning the statistics and interaction energy to produce stable short-ranged directional pairing that reflects the lattice asymmetry. Analogous energy gap and BCS ratio parameters are identified for low-Tc long-range acoustical phonons and for quark-anti-quark tightly bound chiral pions in particle physics.

description: Importing country standards emerge as an effective trade barrier when they exceed those of the exporting country’s domestic market. We introduce a new concept: bridge to cross (BTC), the regulatory gap between the exporting and importing countries. Importer regulations cannot be identified in a gravity model when multilateral resistance is correctly accounted for with exporter-time and importer-time fixed-effects. BTC, however, can be identified because it varies over time and by trading pair. As an application we apply the method to an SPS regulation regarding Aflatoxin contamination in maize. We find that the effect of BTC is higher for poorer countries.

description: Assessments to date of the consequences of implementing the Uruguay Round (UR) of multilateral trade negotiations have assumed medium-term rates of economic growth in East Asia that now seem unsustainable. This paper compares one set of those estimates to 2005 with an alternative set involving an interruption to East Asian economic growth in the late 1990s, using the global, economy-wide GTAP model. Attention focuses on results for Indonesia, the worst-affected country in the region. An important consequence of the crisis is that Indonesia is likely to become more agrarian for a time than it otherwise would have been. Also, both income levels and the gains from the UR will be lower at the completion of UR implementation in 2005 than would have been the case without the crisis. Hopefully this will boost support in Indonesia (and other East Asian countries) for a push to catch up through further unilateral, regional and global trade and investment liberalizations and domestic policy reform. The benefits to Indonesia from embracing further unilateral reform, as estimated by the GTAP model, are contrasted with the costs of the alternative strategy of reneging on UR commitments to liberalize trade. Of particular importance are policies affecting agriculture’s capacity to be an engine of growth recovery.

description: Topological Data Analysis (TDA) is a recent approach to analyze data sets from the perspective of their topological structure. Its use for time series data has been limited to the field of financial time series primarily and as a method for feature generation in machine learning applications. In this work, TDA is presented as a technique to gain additional understanding of the customers' loyalty for business-to-business customer relationship management. Increasing loyalty and strengthening relationships with key accounts remain an active topic of discussion both for researchers and managers. Using two public and two proprietary data sets of commercial data, this research shows that the technique enables analysts to better understand their customer base and identify prospective opportunities. In addition, the approach can be used as a clustering method to increase the accuracy of a predictive model for loyalty scoring. This work thus seeks to introduce TDA as a viable tool for data analysis to the quantitate marketing practitioner.

description: We present the results of new calculations of the energy spectra of cosmic ray electrons, positrons and also positron fraction under assumption that both electrons and positrons are generated by the same Galactic sources, which accelerate particles with same power-law injection spectral index $p$. The value of the injection index $p\approx 2.85$ retrieved in our works from the analysis of the observed CR spectra has been used. The propagation of particles through the highly non-homogeneous interstellar medium has been described by the anomalous diffusion model. We show that proposed approach allows the self-consistent description of the recent AMS-02 data. In contrast to the conclusion made by AMS-02 collaboration about the different origin of the high-energy positrons and electrons, our results demonstrate that the differing behavior of spectral indices of electrons and positrons with energy can be described under the assumption that both positrons and electrons have common Galactic sources. Our prediction (Lagutin et al. Bull. Russian Academy of Sciences. Physics, 2013, Vol. 77, No. 11, p. 1312) that the $e^{+}$ to total $e^{-} + e^{+}$ ratio reaches a constant value for E $\gg 200$ GeV is confirmed.

description: An outstanding problem in the theory of nuclear fission is to understand the Hamiltonian dynamics at the scission point. In this work the fissioning nucleus is modeled in self-consistent mean-field theory as a set of Generator Coordinate (GCM) configurations passing through the scission point. In contrast to previous methods, the configurations are constructed in the Hartree-Fock approximation with axially symmetric mean fields and using the K-partition numbers as additional constraints. The goal of this work is to find paths through the scission point where the overlaps between neighboring configurations are large. A measure of distance along the path is proposed that is insensitive to the division of the path into short segments. For most of the tested K-partitions two shape degrees of freedom are adequate to define smooth paths. However, some of the configurations and candidate paths have sticking points where there are substantial changes in the many-body wave function, especially if quasiparticle excitations are present. The excitation energy deposited in fission fragments arising from thermal excitations in the pre-scission configurations is determined by tracking orbital occupation numbers along the scission paths. This allows us to assess the validity of the well-known scission-point statistical model, in which the scission process is assumed to be fully equilibrated up to the separated fission fragments. The nucleus 236U is taken as a representative example in the calculations.

description: Endoparasite (internal parasites) management is an important aspect of pastoral livestock farming. It involves understanding some complex biological principles and making decisions in a farm systems context. In New Zealand there is some confusion and diverse messages presented about endoparasites making it difficult for the farming industry to derive “best practice”. A programme to improve the consistency of information provided to farmers about endoparasites was established. This paper focuses on a suite of methodologies for studying regional differences in farmers perceptions and management needs with respect to endoparasites. This understanding was used to design new decision tools to assist farmers. This paper will discuss the way the methodology set the foundation and strategy for the overall technology development of the research team and suggest possible extensions to similar national programmes. Farmer focus groups were held in 9 selected regions. Each group performed several tasks, viz.: Cognitive mapping had farmers interactively constructing their views on the general management, regional issues, and information gaps involved in parasite management. Surveying the types of information and key people farmers use to make decisions. A paired comparison of key concepts in parasite management was included in the survey to compare across regions. Transcript analysis of group meetings enabled an analysis of farmers’ reasoning that underpinned the construction of their cognitive maps. Development of a regional information network was achieved by asking farmers for other contacts who they consider have a keen interest in the topic and working interactively with these contacts when trialling new decision aids. The relevance of this methodology to study information needs for other complex systems is discussed.

description: Inflammation in biological tissues follows a dynamical process where upon injury, interactions between cell types and exchange of growth factors occur. Depending on the distribution of different cell types in space, healing or fibrosis occurs. This process is clearly spatially heterogeneous. An existing modeling framework for this process assumes a spatially homogeneous distribution of fibroblasts and macrophages and is therefore unable to capture spatial effects. We extend this framework to obtain a spatially heterogeneous two-cell circuit also containing cell migration, chemotaxis and cytokine diffusion. By means of a physical property of the resulting PDE model, a decoupled multiscale solution strategy can be derived, where each linear problem is approximated by finite element methods. A numerical investigation illustrates a clear impact of spatial effects on the separatrix of the PDE model. We use non-intrusive methods from the field of uncertainty quantification to conduct a sensitivity analysis of the most uncertain model parameters, enabling us to quantify this impact.

description: Recreational fishing is one of the most popular forms of outdoor recreation in Australia, involving approximately a third of the population. As such, the recreational sector is a significant user of fish stocks and coastal areas. Allocating resources fairly and efficiently between recreational anglers, commercial fishermen, and other users has become a major issue in fisheries management. Because there is no market to signal the values of recreational fishing, there is a tendency for fish and access to beaches for recreation to be under-supplied. Managers are aware that recreational fishing provides substantial social and economic benefits, but do not have a good grasp of their magnitude or sensitivity to changing conditions. This paper presents the results of an empirical study which estimates the value of fishing trips made by a sample of shore anglers, together with their marginal values for several types of fish. Welfare estimates were obtained using a random utility model which infers values from anglers' observed choices of site and target species. The average consumer surplus from a day trip was estimated to range between $33 to $39, while improving catch rate by 50% increased the value of a trip by up to $4 depending upon the type of fish affected by the change. Based on the average number of fish caught per trip, this equates to a marginal value of $1.40 per fish. This study demonstrates that the random utility model is a promising new technique for deriving non-market values and assessing policies that allocate natural resources between user groups.

description: Differences in history and institutional structure have contributed to differences in agricultural and resource policy in Canada and the United States. These are one source of some differences in stance toward trade policy taken by these two nations. Trade conflicts and tensions have also arisen from the increasing integration of North American agriculture and food sectors. In Canada, trade policy has dominated farm policy for most agricultural sectors, but not for the supply-managed dairy, egg and poultry sectors. Future prospects for the forthcoming multilateral trade negotiations are of considerable interest in view of the impact that these may have on agricultural policy in both nations. Increasingly, however, agricultural and resource policy in North America is focussing on issues of the environment associated with agriculture and on policy related to food, rather than on the traditional concerns related to farmers’ interests.

Two-Channel Passive Detection Exploiting Cyclostationarity

description: This paper addresses a two-channel passive detection problem exploiting cyclostationarity. Given a reference channel (RC) and a surveillance channel (SC), the goal is to detect a target echo present at the surveillance array transmitted by an illuminator of opportunity equipped with multiple antennas. Since common transmission signals are cyclostationary, we exploit this information at the detector. Specifically, we derive an asymptotic generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT) to detect the presence of a cyclostationary signal at the SC given observations from RC and SC. This detector tests for different covariance structures. Simulation results show good performance of the proposed detector compared to competing techniques that do not exploit cyclostationarity.

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Two examples of the situation when the classical observables should be described by a noncommutative probability space are investigated. Possible experimental approach to find quantum-like correlations for classical disordered systems is discussed. The interpretation of noncommutative probability in experiments with classical systems as a result of context (complex of experimental physical conditions) dependence of probability is considered.

description: MESSENGER has observed a lot of dawn-dusk asymmetries in Mercury's magnetotail, such as the asymmetries of the cross-tail current sheet thickness and the occurrence of flux ropes, dipolarization events and energetic electron injections. In order to obtain a global pictures of Mercury's magnetotail dynamics and the relationship between these asymmetries, we perform global simulations with the magnetohydrodynamics with embedded particle-in-cell (MHD-EPIC) model, where Mercury's magnetotail region is covered by a PIC code. Our simulations show that the dawnside current sheet is thicker, the plasma density is larger, and the electron pressure is higher than the duskside. Under a strong IMF driver, the simulated reconnection sites prefer the dawnside. We also found the dipolarization events and the planetward electron jets are moving dawnward while they are moving towards the planet, so that almost all dipolarization events and high-speed plasma flows concentrate in the dawn sector. The simulation results are consistent with MESSENGER observations.

description: The term translated literally as ‘agro-industrialisation’ is used both frequently and loosely by Chinese officials and academics to refer to a range of targets including agricultural integration and commercialisation. Support for the agro-industrialisation process has shifted agricultural policy to the extent that it now heralds the third wave of reform of the Chinese rural economy since 1978. This paper draws on a literature review of Chinese material and on extensive fieldwork material to discuss: a) what is meant by agro-industrialisation; b) how agroindustrialisation measures are organised and implemented; c) how this reflects the characteristics of Chinese agricultural and political-economy systems, and; d) the role of and implications for various actors (government, enterprises, rural households and co-operatives in particular). Discussion places particular emphasis on the Chinese cattle and beef industry.
Moduli Space and Scattering of D0-Branes in Noncommutative Super Yang-Mills Theory

description: We study the moduli space of the D0-brane system on Dp-branes realized in the noncommutative super Yang-Mills theory. By examining the fluctuations around the solitonic solutions generated by solution generating technique, we confirm the interpretation of the moduli as the positions of D0-branes on Dp-branes. Low-energy scattering process is also examined for two D0-branes. We find that the D0-branes scatter at right angle for head-on collision in the D0-D4 system. For D0-D6 and D0-D8 systems we find special solutions which reduce to the D0-D4 case, giving the same behavior. This suggests that the scattering at right angle for head-on collision is a universal behavior of this kind of soliton scatterings.

Land Economics/Use

description: Much of Australia’s native vegetation has been cleared or altered as a result of agricultural development. The native vegetation that remains on private land is highly fragmented and continues to be degraded and modified due to various land use and environmental pressures. One of the major concerns of landholders in retaining and managing remnant native vegetation (RNV) in the agricultural landscape is the lack of information and understanding about the potential benefits and costs associated with conservation of these areas. The contribution of RNV to changes in rural property values needs to be examined when considering future policy and management strategies to encourage private landholders to retain and conserve RNV within the agricultural landscape. The northeast Victorian catchment and the Murray catchment of NSW were chosen to examine the effect of RNV on rural property values using hedonic price analysis. The hedonic price approach explores the relationship that exists between the price of a good and the bundle of characteristics (or attributes) which the good possesses, to explain variations in the prices of the differentiated goods under consideration. Land sales records for the past ten years were obtained for properties greater than two hectares within the catchment areas, and those containing areas of RNV were identified. The purchasers of these properties were interviewed to determine the characteristics that influenced their purchase decision. Using this information, multivariate regression models have been estimated to quantify the contribution to property values of different attributes including the presence and nature of RNV. Based on the results of this hedonic analysis, the property market does not appear to be a good measure of the economic value of RNV.

description: We have observed phase singularities due to vortex excitation in Bose-Einstein condensates. Vortices were created by moving a laser beam through a condensate. They were observed as dislocations in the interference fringes formed by the stirred condensate and a second unperturbed condensate. The velocity dependence for vortex excitation and the time scale for re-establishing a uniform phase across the condensate were determined.

description: Among the four largest cotton-producing countries, only Pakistan had not commercially adopted Bt cotton by 2010. However, the cultivation of first-generation (Cry1Ac) Bt cotton, unapproved and unregulated, increased rapidly after 2005. Using the propensity score matching method, this paper examines the economic impact of the available Bt varieties on farmers’ wellbeing. The analysis is based on data collected through structured questionnaires in January-February 2009 from 206 growers in 16 villages in two cotton-growing districts, Bahawalpur and Mirpur Khas. The results indicate a positive impact of Bt cotton on the wellbeing of farmers in Pakistan. However, the extent of impact varies by agro-climatic conditions and size of farm. Bt cotton appeared most effective in the hot and humid areas where pest pressure from bollworms is high. The per-acre yield gains for medium and large farmers are higher than for small farmers. This suggests that additional public-sector interventions may be complementary to introduction of Bt cotton to make this technology widely beneficial in Pakistan.

description: To probe the connection between the dynamic phase transition and stochastic resonance, we study the mean-field kinetic Ising model and the two-dimensional Josephson-junction array in the presence of appropriate oscillating magnetic fields. Observed in both systems are {\it double} stochastic resonance peaks, one below and the other above the dynamic transition temperature, the appearance of which is argued to be a generic property of the system with a continuous dynamic phase transition. In particular, the frequency matching condition around the dynamic phase transition between the external drive frequency and the internal characteristic frequency of the system is identified as the origin of such double peaks.
