description: This paper examined farmers' country bean production technology and proposed an econometric model for estimating the normalized profit distribution function using a Three Staged Generalized Method of Moment procedure. The advantage of the model is that it used Cobb-Douglas form of profit function which is linear in logarithm. The second moment function of profit can be used for measuring risk involved in input use under uncertainty. Furthermore, the results could be used for testing relative economic efficiency of growers'. The empirical data on country bean production validated the model. The result showed that fertilizers and pesticides were risk increasing inputs in country bean production. The small farmers were found to be more efficient. The study concludes that under uncertain environmental condition, relative economic efficiency can be assessed through estimation of normalized profit distribution function.

description: We study a reaction diffusion system where we consider a non-gaussian process instead of a standard diffusion. If the process increments follow a probability distribution with tails approaching to zero faster than a power law, the usual qualitative behaviours of the standard reaction diffusion system, i.e., exponential tails for the reacting field and a constant front speed, are recovered. On the contrary if the process has power law tails, also the reacting field shows power law tail and the front speed increases exponentially with time. The comparison with other reaction-transport systems which exhibit anomalous diffusion shows that, not only the presence of anomalous diffusion, but also the detailed mechanism, is relevant for the front propagation.

description: It is doubtful Friedrich Miescher appreciated how groundbreaking and transformative his isolation of ’nuclein’ in 1869 would prove. Eukaryotic gene expression is a noisy process that is subject to multiple layers of regulation. Key features of this are the three-dimensional (3D) chromatin organisation of eukaryotic genomes and the post-transcriptional control of RNA fates. Eukaryotic nuclear DNA is tightly packaged as chromatin that is further folded into higher order structures. The 3D folding of eukaryotic genome lends itself to the formation of interactions between otherwise distant regions of the genome. These interactions modulate transcription. I investigated the impact of human papillomavirus (HPV) 16 integration on host chromatin organisation and transcription using the W12 model for early cervical carcinogenesis with a novel Chromosome Conformation Capture (3C) method that specifically enriches for interactions involving viral integrants. Integration occurs without disrupting host 3D chromatin structure but alters the expression of many neighbouring host genes. The advent of reliable protocols for performing single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) has revealed that transcriptional noise is widespread and a biologically important feature in many populations of mammalian cells. Ageing is associated with the progressive decline in biological function. It has recently been described that aged somatic tissues have greater cell-to-cell transcriptional variability. Ageing is also associated with a decline in male fertility. Some have attributed this to the clonal expansion of selfish spermatogonial lineages. To address this, I explored the effect of ageing on the transcriptomes of sorted populations of mouse undifferentiated spermatogonia using bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing (RNAseq). While subtle changes in mean gene expression are detectable, it was apparent that ageing, unlike in somatic tissues, leads to a decline in cell-to-cell transcriptional variability. This may reflect the phenomenon of selfish spermatogonial selection. Finally, I explored the role of an RNA post-transcriptional modification (RPTM), N6- methyladenosine (m6A), in buffering transcriptional noise. Maternally-supplied YTHDF2 is essential for degradation of m6A-modified transcripts during the maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT) early in mammalian embryogenesis. YTHDF2 targets increase in abundance in its absence. Using scRNA-seq data generated from control and maternal conditional knock-out mouse zygotes I show that many of these targets exhibit greater cell-to-cell transcriptional heterogeneity in the absence of YTHDF2-mediated degradation. Suggesting that YTHDF2 has a additional function in buffering transcriptional noise.

description: Relative performance of individual enterprises within each component of Crop-Cattle-Poultry Fish farming system was ascertained through gross margin analysis and the success of whole farm business was examined by applying residual income measures such as net farm income and management income. The results showed that gross margin per Taka of variable cost varied sufficiently among enterprises. Among the individual enterprises within the crop component, brinjal (summer) gave highest gross margin per Taka of variable cost. Among the components of the whole farm business, fish had the highest gross margin per Taka of variable cost. Net farm income was reasonably high and the system earned positive management income, indicating that the farms were economically viable even under all possible full cost considerations.

description: Climate change poses significant risks to future crop productivity as temperatures rise, rainfall patterns become more variable, and pest and disease pressures increase. The use of crop genetic resources to develop varieties more tolerant to rapidly changing environmental conditions will be an important part of agricultural adaptation to climate change. Finding new genetic traits that can facilitate adaptation—and incorporating them into commercially successful varieties—is time-consuming, expensive, and technically difficult. The public-goods characteristics of genetic resources can create obstacles to rewards for private research and development. Because of insufficient private incentives, public-sector investment in the use of genetic resources will help determine the agricultural sector’s ability to maintain crop productivity, and for society as a whole, the potential benefits of public investment are large. The study authors find, however, that factors such as intellectual property rules for genetic resources and for research tools, or international agreements governing genetic resource exchange, have the potential both to promote and to hamper greater use of genetic resources for climate change adaptation.

description: The European State Finance Database (ESFD) is an international collaborative research project for the collection of data in European fiscal history. There are no strict geographical or chronological boundaries to the collection, although data for this collection comprise the period between c.1200 to c.1815. The purpose of the ESFD was to establish a significant database of European financial and fiscal records. The data are drawn from the main extant sources of a number of European countries, as the evidence and the state of scholarship permit. The aim was to collect the data made available by scholars, whether drawing upon their published or unpublished archival research, or from other published material.

The ESFD project at the University of Leicester serves also to assist scholars working with the data by providing statistical manipulations of data and high quality graphical outputs for publication. The broad aim of the project was to act as a facilitator for a general methodological and statistical advance in the area of European fiscal history, with data capture and the interpretation of data in key publications as the measurable indicators of that advance. The data were originally deposited at the UK Data Archive in SAS transport format and as ASCII files; however, data files in this new edition have been saved as tab delimited files. Furthermore, this new edition features documentation in the form of a single file containing essential data file metadata, source details and notes of interest for particular files.
There is no unmet requirement of optical coherence for continuous-variable quantum teleportation

description: It has been argued [T. Rudolph and B.C. Sanders, Phys. Rev. Lett. 87, 077903 (2001)] that continuous-variable quantum teleportation at optical frequencies has not been achieved because the source used (a laser) was not `truly coherent'. Here I show that `true coherence' is always illusory, as the concept of absolute time on a scale beyond direct human experience is meaningless. A laser is as good a clock as any other, even in principle, and this objection to teleportation experiments is baseless.

Regulation of γ-Tubulin Ring Complex Recruitment in Drosophila

Subjects: Microtubules

description: Microtubule nucleation is catalysed by γ-tubulin ring complexes (γ-TuRCs) which are recruited to specific microtubule organising centres (MTOCs) within cells. The recruitment and activation of γ-TuRCs allows regulation of microtubule nucleation in both time and space. Mozart1 (Mzt1) is a recently-discovered component of the γ-TuRC which is important for the recruitment of γ-TuRCs to MTOCs, and therefore for cell division, in all systems in which it has so far been studied. Work in yeasts and cultured human cells suggests that Mzt1 is important for the binding of tethering proteins to the γ-TuRC, driving oligomerisation of the ring or activation of the γ-TuRC, and Mzt1 has been proposed to stabilise a hinge region in GCP3 which moves upon tethering-protein binding. In this thesis, I show that Mzt1 is a member of the γ-TuRC in Drosophila but that, surprisingly, its expression is restricted to the testes. This relatively simple finding has a major impact on the field, as it answers the longstanding question of whether γ-TuRC heterogeneity exists. Consistent with testes-specific expression, mzt1 null mutants are viable but develop male sterility as they age. Thus, unlike in other organisms, Drosophila Mzt1 is dispensable for cell division but is required for the production of sperm. Intriguingly, I found that Mzt1 is important for the recruitment of γ-TuRCs to the basal bodies but not to the mitochondrial derivatives of spermatids, demonstrating that γ-TuRC heterogeneity can exist even within the same cell at the same developmental stage. I have also found that differences between the centrosomal and testes-specific mitochondrial isoforms of the γ-TuRC tethering protein Centrosomin (Cnn) represent a means of regulating γ-TuRC recruitment and activity in a tissue-specific manner, and that this mechanism may be conserved in humans. I demonstrate that the extended N-terminus of centrosomal isoforms of Cnn is inhibitory to the CM1-domain-γ-TuRC interaction and that mutations that mimic phosphorylation within the N-terminus confer binding ability. Given that the centrosomal Cnn isoform is known to be phosphorylated specifically at centrosomes during mitosis, I propose that centrosome-specific phosphorylation events within the N-terminus relieve the CM1-domain inhibition. In contrast, the absence of the inhibitory N-terminal extension within the testes-specific Cnn isoforms allows these isoforms to bind γ-TuRCs at mitochondria, which lack mitotic kinases. This would provide cycling cells with control over when and where their γ-TuRCs are activated, contributing to the precise spatiotemporal regulation of spindle formation.

description: I review briefly, primarily for relativists, a series of recent results, obtained with A. Waldron, on the novel behavior of massive higher (s>1) spin systems in constant curvature backgrounds. We find that the cosmological constant Lambda, together with the mass parameter, define a "phase plane" in which partially massless gauge invariant lines separate allowed regions from forbidden, non-unitary, ones. These lines represent short multiplet systems, with missing lower helicities, removed by novel local gauge invariances, and (despite having nonvanishing m) propagating on the light cone. In the limit of an infinite tower of these higher spin bosons and fermions, unitarity requires Lambda to vanish.

Matrix elements of loop diagram as well as those of a tree level can be generated using an automatic system. A soft/collinear singularity is treated using a leading-log subtraction method. Higher order re-summation of the soft/collinear correction by the parton shower method is combined with the NLO matrix-element without any double-counting in this method. An example of the event generator for Drell-Yan process is given for demonstrating a validity of this method.

description: We cast the metabolism of interacting cells within a statistical mechanics framework considering both, the actual phenotypic capacities of each cell and its interaction with its neighbors. Reaction fluxes will be the components of high-dimensional spin vectors, whose values will be constrained by the stochiometry and the energy requirements of the metabolism. Within this picture, finding the phenotypic states of the population turns out to be equivalent to searching for the equilibrium states of a disordered spin model. We provide a general solution of this problem for arbitrary metabolic networks and interactions. We apply this solution to a simplified model of metabolism and to a complex metabolic network, the central core of the \emph{E. coli}, and demonstrate that the combination of selective pressure and interactions define a complex phenotypic space. Cells may specialize in producing or consuming metabolites complementing each other at the population level and this is described by an equilibrium phase space with multiple minima, like in a spin-glass model.

description: The two major natural hazards that threaten Cambodia are flood and drought. Millions of people have been affected by these natural disasters which have put to waste millions of hectares of paddy rice lands on which depend the lifeblood of the rural economy as well as that of the whole country. Given the dire consequences posed by drought to the Cambodian economy, and in light of its short- and long-term development plans aimed at poverty reduction, the government has affirmed its priority for agricultural development. Targeting the most vulnerable areas, this study aims to estimate the costs of drought in two communes in the rural Kampong Speu province, and to assess the costs and benefits of rehabilitating an unused water reservoir. The costs of drought are estimated at the household level. Household questionnaires were used to collect data from households from two rice ecosystems (totally rainfed and supplementary-irrigated) in the Kampong Speu. The study finds that the expected loss from drought for farmers in rainfed areas is USD 51.47 per hectare while that for farmers in supplementary-irrigated areas is USD 23.01 per hectare. Looking at the prospects for rehabilitating a totally damaged reservoir, the study reports that at a 6 percent discount rate, the repair efforts will yield a net present value of around USD 914,834.94 and the benefit-cost ratio is 2.18. The rehabilitated reservoir is seen to serve two significant roles, namely: (1)to stabilize and increase rice production since drought susceptibility among farmers is reduced and food security is ensured and (2) to encourage agricultural diversification.

description: The study investigates the pattern, trends, competitiveness, and determinants of the export of dairy products from India—the world’s largest milk producer. Data show that exports of dairy products from India have witnessed a remarkable growth in recent years. Our estimates also establish that India has price competitiveness and comparative advantage in the production of milk. Some instability is observed in the export markets of Indian dairy products, as notably shown by the high probabilities of Bangladesh and the UAE to gain market shares from the other importers of Indian dairy products. Furthermore, the results indicate that dairy export from India is elastic to the world market size, price divergence, exchange rate, and trade policy. Based on the findings, it is recommended that India focus on improving the quality of its dairy products to get a premium price in the world market.

description: The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) of the European Union (EU) is characterized by a wide array of individual policy measures, which differ by the category of instruments, across commodities and over time. Consequently, the net impact of the policy mix on price incentives for producers and consumers had been intransparent for years. This study utilizes a regionalized concept of producer support estimates (PSEs) to elaborate the primary effects of the CAP on producers at a disaggregate level of NUTS III regions. 26 regions in the federal state of Hesse, Germany, in the years 1986-1999 are utilized as a case study. One important result is that a uniform CAP does affect the regions very differently. Recent reforms of the CAP have not reduced significantly the average level of agricultural support in the region studied. Statistically significant downward trends in absolute producer support due to price support were associated with significant upward trends due to direct payments. Interestingly, absolute and relative PSE measures due to the CAP and price support are fully uncorrelated with each other. If transfers under the CAP are targeted in terms of absolute support, e.g., this may induce an arbitrary interregional distribution of PSEs in relation to farm revenues.

description: The Youth Cohort Study (YCS) is a major programme of longitudinal research designed to monitor the behaviour and decisions of representative samples of young people aged sixteen upwards as they make the transition from compulsory education to further or higher education, or to the labour market. It tries to identify and explain the factors which influence post-16 transitions, for example, educational attainment, training opportunities, experiences at school. To date the YCS covers thirteen cohorts and over forty surveys. The first cohort was first surveyed in 1985 and the thirteenth in 2007. The questionnaires have been designed, over the years, to be broadly comparable, but external changes and shifts in policy interest have brought about changes - some minor, some fundamental. Cohorts One to Twelve cover England and Wales but a change to the methodology means that from Cohort Thirteen, data cover England only. For further details of the methodology and coverage, see the documentation.

The UK Data Archive currently holds data for the cohorts listed below:
Cohort One (SN 3093) surveyed those eligible to leave school in 1983-84

Cohort Two (SN 3094) surveyed those eligible to leave school in 1984-85

*Cohort Three (SN 3012) surveyed those eligible to leave school in 1985-86

description: To learn about the role of information content and source as catalysts to increase consumers’ valuation of fairly traded foods, we conducted an online survey with 2,500 consumers representative of the German population. Within the online survey, respondents were randomly assigned to one of five information treatments or the control group. We employ the contingent valuation approach to measure the willingness-to-pay (WTP) premium for chocolate with the Fairtrade label compared to similar conventional chocolate. To estimate WTP and the outcome which measures the participants’ purchasing intentions, we use ordinary least squares and interval regressions. We find that German consumers are willing to pay a high price premium for a Fairtrade label despite limited knowledge about the certification. This WTP is relatively robust to additional supportive information provision irrespective of the information source. However, the broader measure of behavior, the purchasing intention, can rise due to information provided by a retailer or the government. While a supportive statement by a university does not seem to incentivize the valuation of Fairtrade certified chocolate, we find that an unsupportive (zero effect) statement of the same source can discourage the purchasing intention. Our findings imply that policymakers and scientists need to mind the risk of generalized science communication and create information campaigns to increase purchasing frequency.

description: Using deep convolutional neural network (CNN), the nature of the QCD transition can be identified from the final-state pion spectra from hybrid model simulations of heavy-ion collisions that combines a viscous hydrodynamic model with a hadronic cascade "after-burner". Two different types of equations of state (EoS) of the medium are used in the hydrodynamic evolution. The resulting spectra in transverse momentum and azimuthal angle are used as the input data to train the neural network to distinguish different EoS. Different scenarios for the input data are studied and compared in a systematic way. A clear hierarchy is observed in the prediction accuracy when using the event-by-event, cascade-coarse-grained and event-fine-averaged spectra as input for the network, which are about 80%, 90% and 99%, respectively. A comparison with the prediction performance by deep neural network (DNN) with only the normalized pion transverse momentum spectra is also made. High-level features of pion spectra captured by a carefully-trained neural network were found to be able to distinguish the nature of the QCD transition even in a simulation scenario which is close to the experiments.

description: In this paper, the Lorentz transformation of entangled Bell states seen by a moving observer is studied. The calculated Bell observable for 4 joint measurements turns out to give a universal value, $++\lang le\hat{a}'\otimes\vec{b}> -=\frac{2}{\sqrt{2-β^2}}(1+\sqrt{1-\be ta^2})$, where $\hat{a}, \hat{b}$ are the relativistic spin observables derived from the Pauli-Lubanski pseudo vector and $β=\frac{v}{c}$. We found that the degree of violation of the Bell's inequality is decreasing with increasing velocity of the observer and the Bell's inequality is satisfied in the ultra-relativistic limit where the boost speed reaches the speed of light.

description: There have been considerable debates over 2D and 3D representation learning on 3D medical images. 2D approaches could benefit from large-scale 2D pretraining, whereas they are generally weak in capturing large 3D contexts. 3D approaches are natively strong in 3D contexts, however few publicly available 3D medical dataset is large and diverse enough for universal 3D pretraining. Even for hybrid (2D + 3D) approaches, the intrinsic disadvantages within the 2D / 3D parts still exist. In this study, we bridge the gap between 2D and 3D convolutions by reinventing the 2D convolutions. We propose ACS (axial-coronal-sagittal) convolutions to perform natively 3D representation learning, while utilizing the pretrained weights on 2D datasets. In ACS convolutions, 2D convolution kernels are split by channel into three parts, and convoluted separately on the three views (axial, coronal and sagittal) of 3D representations. Theoretically, ANY 2D CNN (ResNet, DenseNet, or DeepLab) is able to be converted into a 3D ACS CNN, with pretrained weight of a same parameter size. Extensive experiments on several medical benchmarks (including classification, segmentation and detection tasks) validate the consistent superiority of the pretrained ACS CNNs, over the 2D / 3D CNN counterparts with / without pretraining. Even without pretraining, the ACS convolution can be used as a plug-and-play replacement of standard 3D convolution, with smaller model size and less computation.

description: The aim of this thesis The Chinese Housing Boom and Monetary Policy is to study the relationship between the Chinese housing boom and monetary policy for the past two decades in a systematic way. The thesis is composed of eight chapters. Chapter 1 is introductory and Chapter 2 reviews relevant literatures. Chapter 3 describes the background knowledge of the realities of the Chinese economy and summarizes the market failures in the Chinese housing sector as well as provides an in-depth analysis of three issues related to policy intervention in Chinese housing market based on the Rudebusch’s Decision Tree (2005). Based on the Arestis and Karakitsos (2010) contribution for the analysis of the determinants of house prices, Chapter 4 builds a theoretical framework by analysing the role of each type of economic agents plays in accounting for the house price determination in the case of China. Moreover, the associated variables that affect both the demand for and the supply of housing in China are included. Specifically, the motivation and behaviour of local governments, housing purchasers, commercial banks, property developers, and the central bank are considered. Chapters 5 and 6 present the results of empirical studies. Chapter 5 investigates a structural breakpoint using time series data at a national level with a vector autoregression model and a chow test. Chapter 6 investigates the house price determinants with city-level panel data. Both empirics support the hypotheses made in the theoretical framework. Chapter 7 provides an extensive discussion of the role of money supply in the breakpoint analysis and the four determinants and link these factors to explain the housing boom in China. Chapter 8 concludes that the main aim of the thesis is accomplished; it also concludes that policy focus should change from the demand side to the supply side.

description: A general stability analysis is presented for the determination of the transition from incoherent to coherent behavior in an ensemble of globally coupled, heterogeneous, continuous-time dynamical systems. The formalism allows for the simultaneous presence of ensemble members exhibiting chaotic and periodic behavior, and, in a special case, yields the Kuramoto model for globally coupled periodic oscillators described by a phase. Numerical experiments using different types of ensembles of Lorenz equations with a distribution of parameters are presented.

description: The European State Finance Database (ESFD) is an international collaborative research project for the collection of data in European fiscal history. There are no strict geographical or chronological boundaries to the collection, although data for this collection comprise the period between c.1200 to c.1815. The purpose of the ESFD was to establish a significant database of European financial and fiscal records. The data are drawn from the main extant sources of a number of European countries, as the evidence and the state of scholarship permit. The aim was to collect the data made available by scholars, whether drawing upon their published or unpublished archival research, or from other published material.

The ESFD project at the University of Leicester serves also to assist scholars working with the data by providing statistical manipulations of data and high quality graphical outputs for publication. The broad aim of the project was to act as a facilitator for a general methodological and statistical advance in the area of European fiscal history, with data capture and the interpretation of data in key publications as the measurable indicators of that advance. The data were originally deposited at the UK Data Archive in SAS transport format and as ASCII files; however, data files in this new edition have been saved as tab delimited files. Furthermore, this new edition features documentation in the form of a single file containing essential data file metadata, source details and notes of interest for particular files.
