description: The United States (US) and European Union (EU) dairy industries are undergoing rapid structural change as farms become fewer and larger, milk productivity per cow increases, and agricultural policies evolve. This paper examines productivity measures of dairy farms in all dairy production regions of the US and seven member states of the EU. We generally find that larger, more intensively-managed dairy farms experience greater net return on assets and are more scale efficient than smaller, more extensive dairy farms. Efficient farms are found in all farm size and system categories, with many of the smaller farms experiencing relatively high technical efficiency. Overall, we find significant economic forces at work towards more efficient and productive dairy production in both the EU and the United States. With potential efficiency gains that can be made, various EU dairy production regions may significantly strengthen their export positions following the milk quota seizure of 2015.

description: The Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region locating in Northwest of China was not considered the epidemic area of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS). Here we report the first laboratory-confirmed SFTS case that a female patient had tick bite in Xinjiang and illness onset after returning to Hainan Province. Laboratory tests identified SFTS virus (SFTSV) infection, and the virus was isolated from the patient’s serum sample. Furthermore, SFTSV prevalence among tick groups was identified, and IgM response to SFTSV from febrile patients was identified. The findings suggested that there have been risks of SFTSV infection due to exposure to ticks in Xinjiang.

description: We discuss two doubly degenerate Cahn-Hilliard (DDCH) models for isotropic surface diffusion. Degeneracy is introduced in both the mobility function and a restriction function associated to the chemical potential. Our computational results suggest that the restriction functions yield more accurate approximations of surface diffusion. We consider a slight generalization of a model that has appeared before, which is non-variational, meaning there is no clear energy that is dissipated along the solution trajectories. We also introduce a new variational and, more precisely, energy dissipative model, which can be related to the generalized non-variational model. For both models we use formal matched asymptotics to show the convergence to the sharp interface limit of surface diffusion.

description: We report new photometry for the cluster NGC 2121 in the Large Magellanic Cloud, which shows a prominent hydrogen core exhaustion gap at the turnoff, and a descending subgiant branch remniscent of Galactic open clusters. We achieve an excellent fit using the Girardi isochrones, finding an age of 3.2 +/- 0.5Gyr, with [Fe/H]=-0.6 +/- 0.2. The isochrones fit the color and shape of the turnoff and subgiant branch so precisely that we constrain the metallicity as well as the age. The smae isochrones also fit SL 663 and NGC 2155, although our photometry for these clusters has much larger errors. We find these clusters to be 0.8 Gyr younger, and 0.4 dex more metal rich, than recently reported in the literature. Consequently, we argue that NGC 2121, NGC 2155, and SL 663 are not properly assigned to the age gap in the LMC, but instead are among the first clusters to have formed int he relatively metal rich, younger group of LMC clusters. We propose a new definition of the LMC Age Gap as extending from 3.2 to 13 Gyr, with ESO121-SCO3 still the only remaining candidate for membership in the age gap.

description: This article intends to reffect on the theme of literary tourism, in a triad relationship "Literature, Tourism and Leisure", from a systematic literature review, carried out on Scopus database and Google Scholar. We address the relationship between two areas of knowledge literature and tourism. Although apparently different, they are intimately linked, with literature being a cultural element that induces and is induced by history, also presenting itself as a reason to lure the reader to an unreal location (Menezes, 2009). In other words, the readers are transported, by the images that became part of their imaginary, to understand, in loco, what they apprehended from the fictional text (Simões, 2002, cited by Menezes, 2009). Linked to this problem, there will also be a focus on issues connected to humanistic leisure, hereby addressing, its creative dimension

description: The Nubian ibex (Capra nubiana) is patchily distributed across parts of Africa and Arabia. In Oman, it is one of the few free-ranging wild mammals found in the central and southern regions. Its population is declining due to habitat degradation, human expansion, poaching and fragmentation. Here, we investigated the population's genetic diversity using mitochondrial DNA (D-loop 186 bp and cytochrome b 487 bp). We found that the Nubian ibex in the southern region of Oman was more diverse (D-loop HD; 0.838) compared to the central region (0.511) and gene flow between them was restricted. We compared the genetic profiles of wild Nubian ibex from Oman with captive ibex. A Bayesian phylogenetic tree showed that wild Nubian ibex form a distinct clade independent from captive animals. This divergence was supported by high mean distances (D-loop 0.126, cytochrome b 0.0528) and high FST statistics (D-loop 0.725, cytochrome b 0.968). These results indicate that captive ibex are highly unlikely to have originated from the wild population in Oman and the considerable divergence suggests that the wild population in Oman should be treated as a distinct taxonomic unit. Further nuclear genetic work will be required to fully elucidate the degree of global taxonomic divergence of Nubian ibex populations.

description: The water crisis is one of the biggest challenges in recent years. Water is the most widely used resource by humans on earth, and it is also the most important supplier for living organisms. Only 1.2% freshwater is relatively easy to use through water purified technology. As an emerging water production technology, solar-driven water harvesting has been explored in recent years due to its low cost and no contamination discharge. Both solar-driven atmospheric water harvesting (SAWH) and interfacial solar vapor generation (ISVG) technologies hold considerable potential for alleviating freshwater scarcity. By harnessing the power of the sun, these methods offer sustainable and scalable solutions that can be tailored to meet the specific needs of different regions. As research and development in these areas continue to advance, solar-driven water harvesting could play a pivotal role in securing a reliable supply of fresh water for communities around the world, helping to mitigate the impacts of the global water crisis. The slow kinetics of SAWH and ISVG significantly hinder their practical application in water production, posing a challenge for commercial adoption of solar-driven water production technologies. To achieve higher kinetics, it is crucial to enhance the efficiency of photothermal materials and develop strategies for performance improvement. Additionally, the development of low-cost and environmentally friendly photothermal materials is essential for green energy production. Therefore, there is a need to explore more economical and high-performance photothermal materials. Furthermore, the performance, mechanisms, and influencing factors of photothermal materials in SAWH and ISVG require further investigation. [...]

description: O património cultural, e em particular os edifícios classicados, confere às cidades uma identidade e diferencia-as de outros destinos turísticos urbanos, constituindo, por isso, um fator relevante da oferta. A congregação de esforços, por parte dos responsáveis pela gestão desses recursos, é estratégica para a competitividade dos destinos urbanos. Como objetivo do presente estudo pretende-se analisar as práticas de cooperação dos agentes a intervir na atividade turística relativas a esta dimensão da oferta. Para o efeito, procedeu-se a uma revisão sistemática de literatura, a qual incidiu fundamentalmente na base de dados científica SCOPUS, por via de pesquisa realizada mediante a associação ou combinação de palavras-chave ("network and analysis and heritage and building"). Como principais conclusões, consideraram-se as seguintes: i) o crescente impacto do património cultural para a oferta turística dos destinos urbanos; ii) o caráter determinante das redes de cooperação na atividade turística para uma gestão sustentável dos destinos; iii) a insuficiência de investigação sobre o impacto das redes turísticas na gestão do património cultural. Por fim, o artigo enfatiza a necessidade de se colmatar a identificada lacuna científica

description: We investigated the temporal behavior of the new black hole transient XTE J1650-500 with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) as the source made a transition to the low/hard state during the decay of the 2001 outburst. We find QPOs in the 4 - 9 Hz range, enhanced time lags and reduced coherence during the state transition. We also observe a shift in the peak frequency of the noise component with energy during the transition. The evolution of the power spectrum as well as the lag and coherence behavior during the state transition are similar to the state transitions observed for other black hole sources, especially Cyg X-1. The temporal properties during the transition to the low state put constraints on the accretion geometry of XTE J1650-500 and may have implications for all black hole binary systems. We suggest a possible geometry and evolution of a jet+corona+disk system based on enhanced lags and peak frequency shift during the transition.

description: We report a significantly stronger suppression of the phonon contribution to the thermal conductivity in VOx than can be accounted for by disorder of the 16 % atomic vacancies present in VO. Since the transition from localized to itinerant electronic behavior is first-order and has been shown to be characterized by bond-length fluctuations in several transition-metal oxides with the perovskite structure, we propose that cooperative V-V bond-length fluctuations play a role in VO similar to the M-O bond-length fluctuations in the perovskites. This model is able to account for the strong suppression of the thermal conductivity, the existence of a pseudogap confirmed by thermoelectric power, an anomalously large Debye-Waller factor, the temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility, and the inability to order atomic vacancies in VO.

description: The $R$-parity violating decays of Bino neutralino LSPs are analyzed within the context of the $B-L$ MSSM "heterotic standard model". These LSPs correspond to statistically determined initial soft supersymmetry breaking parameters which, when evolved using the renormalization group equations, lead to an effective theory satisfying all phenomenological requirements; including the observed electroweak vector boson masses and the Higgs mass. The explicit RPV decay channels of these LSPs into standard model particles, the analytic and numerical decay rates and the associated branching ratios are presented. The analysis of these quantities breaks into two separate calculations; first, for Bino neutralino LSPs with mass larger than $M_{W^{\pm}}$ and, second, when the Bino neutralino mass is smaller than the electroweak scale. The RPV decay processes in both of these regions is analyzed in detail. The decay lengths of these RPV interactions are discussed. It is shown that for heavy Bino neutralino LSPs the vast majority of these decays are "prompt", although a small, but calculable, number correspond to "displaced" decays of various lengths. The situation is reversed for light Bino LSPs, only a small number of which can RPV decay promptly. The relation of these results to the neutrino hierarchy--either normal or inverted--is discussed in detail.

description: Vortices are topological objects representing the circular motion of a fluid. With their additional degree of freedom, the 'vorticity', they have been widely investigated in many physical systems and different materials for fundamental interest and for applications in data storage and information processing. Vortices have also been observed in non-equilibrium exciton-polariton condensates in planar semiconductor microcavities. There they appear spontaneously or can be created and pinned in space using ring-shaped optical excitation profiles. However, using the vortex state for information processing not only requires creation of a vortex but also efficient control over the vortex after its creation. Here we demonstrate a simple approach to control and switch a localized polariton vortex between opposite states. In our scheme, both the optical control of vorticity and its detection through the orbital angular momentum of the emitted light are implemented in a robust and practical manner.

description: By the end of twentieth century process of transition occurred in countries of formal planned economy and socialistic model of governance. In the analyses of achieved level of progress, three levels can be underlined: - Countries of central Eastern Europe witch accessed European Union in the last wave of accession in 2004. and in witch processes of transition are practically finished, - Countries that are now on doorstep of EU (Romania and Bulgaria), and - Serbia, where transition process are in delay of one decade, from known reasons : country decomposition, war in environment, isolation from international community, NATO actions. This paper works gives overview of applied measures and achieved effects of transition in the area of agrar in listed countries. With significant problems, it is showed that transition in countries that ended this process was successful. Serbia has, in a matter of speaking, stirring times by the end of transition. Experience obtained by countries that finished this process can be still useful for transition in Serbia.

description: We theoretically investigate the intra-band transitions in Möbius molecules. Due to the weak magnetic response, the relative permittivity is significantly modified by the presence of the medium while the relative permeability is not. We show that there is hyperbolic dispersion relation induced by the intra-band transitions because one of the eigen-values of permittivity possesses a different sign from the other two, while all three eigen-values of permeability are positive. We further demonstrate that the bandwidth of negative refraction is 0.1952~eV for the $H$-polarized incident light, which is broader than the ones for inter-band transitions by 3 orders of magnitude. Moreover, the frequency domain has been shifted from ultra-violet to visible domain. Although there is negative refraction for the $E$-polarized incident light, the bandwidth is much narrower and depends on the incident angle.

description: Our contemporary time frame, based upon fundamental reasons stands witness that among practical human activities the primate is imbedded within Economics. Human economic activities, influenced by technical and technological developments lead towards the metaphysical synthesis of the unquestionable logic of capital. Thus emerges the need for interposition of business ethics in this contemporary logic of capital. That interposition is achieved through: moral maxims, moral standards and moral codex. However, in order for this to be conceptualized it is necessary to fundamentally define the concept itself, subjectmatter and the purpose of business ethics as a distinct branch of ethics belonging to the field of philosophy. Business ethics explores the fundamental basis, sources and roots of moral values, as well as the criterions and instruments of moral judgments and ponderation within the business world in an effort to shad light on a meaning of developed solutions of moral dilemmas and conflicts that come about as a result of human activities in cooperation, and interaction with the other subjects of economic system. Instruments of business ethics include: moral maxims and moral standards situated in codex of moral endeavor which influence human subjects to act in accordance with duties. Application of ethical codex, and within it imbedded maxims and standards, is of essential importance for future productive positioning of agro-business corporations, with the special emphasis on international market operations. The drive towards the achievement of the fundamental minimum of food security, as well as towards the fulfillment of the ever increasing regulative standards and rules related to food safety and the preservation of living conditions are not a mire form of non-tariff protection of domestic producers, but are essentially a result of the concern of the macroeconomic decision-makers in relation to the future of the nation.

description: No Norte de Portugal e, particularmente, na cidade do Porto, no período anterior à crise sanitária COVID-19, o turismo mostrou-se uma atividade chave na promoção do desenvolvimento económico. O propósito deste estudo foi identificar os fatores que atraem ou condicionam a atratividade turística deste território, contribuindo desta forma para identificar alguns aspetos críticos a manter presentes em futuras ações de planeamento do turismo. No tratamento dos dados secundários usados nesta investigação utilizaram-se métodos estatísticos vários, como regressões lineares múltiplas, análise da variância (ANOVA) e modelos para tratamento de dados em painel. O período de análise é o que medeia entre 2003 e 2017 e as fontes principais de dados foram o Instituto Nacional de Estatística (INE) e o Sales Index (2018), da Marktest. No processo de investigação, partiu-se de uma pesquisa da literatura sobre a atratividade turística dos territórios. Os resultados indicam como fatores que atraem o turismo a oferta de alojamento turístico, a existência de galerias de arte e museus, o nível de rendimento dos municípios, e o facto de o município integrar determinadas rotas turísticas, como os Caminhos de Santiago ou a Rota dos Vinhos Verdes, enquanto que o índice de criminalidade contra as pessoas tinha o efeito de repelir os visitantes

description: A new symmetrical dihydrazide derivative organogelator (MBH-10) with two dihydrazide units was synthesized. The gelation property and the self-assembly behavior were researched by FE-SEM, XRD, rheology, FT-IR, concentration-dependent 1H NMR, etc. Gels could be formed in acetonitrile and n-octanol with good mechanical properties. Quadruple hydrogen bonds between the dihydrazide units were viewed as the main driving force in the self-assembly process. The MBH-10 gelator which showed both anion-response (F−, H2PO4−) property and relatively green, efficient toxic dyes removal property might be used in the field of anion sensing and environment remediation in the future.

description: Interdepadance of agricultural development and rural tourism in contemporary conditions will be more important. Agriculture has to provide human survival, as its goal, to provide food, necesary ror the people. In a process of agricultural production, people have changed natural environment ecological conditions. People needs are biger, not only nutritional, but the industrial needs of organic materials. That’s the agricurtural influence in ecosystem transformation. The way and the intensity of rural spaces and agriculturalland using have much more influence and circumstances on the society and country, than on each agricultural worker. The agrarian politics is a factor which should have, as its goal, providing wanted food quantities for domestic population as well as for the export. The agrarian politics have significant influence on the modern country management and enforcement of sustinable agriculture and healthy food production. In Serbia agriculture is not full protected and stimulated. So, there’s need of agrarian politics transformation. In that kind of conditions, tourism development is directly dependingon agriculture and living environment protection. Rural tourism and sustainable development is very importante from aspect European integration process. Present state of our agrriculture and tourist industry clearly indicates the necesity to carry out the reform.
