description: Larger price volatility in agricultural markets and decreasing subsidy levels have increased the market risks in Finnish hog production. One option for the Finnish government to strengthen risk management in the pig sector is to introduce an income stabilisation tool (IST). An IST was included as part of rural development legislation in the reform of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) of the EU in 2014. In this paper, we introduce a gross margin index for the Finnish pig sector on which the IST could be based and empirically evaluate the index itself and individual time series composing the index. The results reveal that the volatility of the pig meat price was the most significant factor in the volatility of the pig gross margin. The results also indicate that the pig meat price series is persistent and thus has a long memory. The obtained results have major implications for the design and simulation of an IST scheme in Finland.

description: An automated search for star clusters close to the Galactic plane (|b| < 5 deg) was carried out on the Point Source Catalogue of the DENIS survey. 44% of the Galactic plane have been observed and calibrated. The method allowed to retrieve 22 known star clusters and to identify two new ones, not published yet although previously presented in the 2MASS web site as embedded clusters in HII regions. Extinction in the field and in front of the clusters are estimated using a model of population synthesis. We present the method and give the properties of these clusters.

Nodicornis

description: 373. Nodicornis Rondani, 1843d: 46.
 ORIGINALLY INCLUDED SPECIES: Nodicornis wiedemanni Rondani, 1843 (as “ Wiedmani. Mihi.”).
 TYPE SPECIES: Nodicornis wiedemanni Rondani, 1843 (as “ Wiedmani. Mihi.”) [= Sybistroma nodicornis Wiedemann, 1824], by monotypy.
 CURRENT STATUS: Junior synonym of Sybistroma Meigen, 1824 [teste Yang et al. (2006: 202; as “ Nordicornis ”)].
FAMILY: DOLICHOPODIDAE.
 REMARKS: Rondani (1843d) used the spelling “ wiedmani ”, while subsequent workers have been using the spelling “ wiedemanni ”. The latter is here considered to be in prevailing usage as demonstrated by the recent usage in the following: Negrobov (1991: 81), Brooks (2005: 113), and Yang et al. (2006: 202). There is no indication in the original work itself for whom the species is being named, thus Article 32.5.1 cannot be invoked to make a mandatory change in the original orthography, and “ wiedemanni ” has to our knowledge never been proposed as an emendation under any of the criteria in Article 33.2.

description: A sequence of $F$-polynomials $\{ F^n_K (t, \ell)\}_{n=1}^{\infty}$ of virtual knots $K$ was defined by Kaur, Prabhakar, and Vesnin in 2018. These polynomials have been expressed in terms of index value of crossing and $n$-writhe of $K$. By the construction, $F$-polynomials are generalizations of the Kauffman's Affine Index Polynomial, and are invariants of virtual knot $K$. We present values of $F$-polynomials of oriented virtual knots having at most four classical crossings in a diagram.

description: We consider $\hat{sl_2}$ spaces of coinvariants with respect to two kinds of ideals of the enveloping algebra $U(sl_2\otimes\C[t])$. The first one is generated by $sl_2\otimes t^N$, and the second one is generated by $e\otimes P(t), f\otimes R(t)$ where $P(t), R(t)$ are fixed generic polynomials. (We also treat a generalization of the latter.) Using a method developed in our previous paper, we give new fermionic formulas for their Hilbert polynomials in terms of the level-restricted Kostka polynomials and $q$-multinomial symbols. As a byproduct, we obtain a fermionic formula for the fusion product of $sl_3$-modules with rectangular highest weights, generalizing a known result for symmetric (or anti-symmetric) tensors.

description: Many species of complex organic molecules (COMs) have been observed in several astrophysical environments but it is not clear how they are produced, particularly in cold, quiescent regions. One process that has been proposed as a means to enhance the chemical complexity of the gas phase in such regions is the explosion of the ice mantles of dust grains. In this process, a build up of chemical energy in the ice is released, sublimating the ices and producing a short lived phase of high density, high temperature gas. The gas-grain chemical code UCLCHEM has been modified to treat these explosions in order to model the observed abundances of COMs towards the TMC-1 region. It is found that, based on our current understanding of the explosion mechanism and chemical pathways, the inclusion of explosions in chemical models is not warranted at this time. Explosions are not shown to improve the model's match to the observed abundances of simple species in TMC-1. Further, neither the inclusion of surface diffusion chemistry, nor explosions, results in the production of COMs with observationally inferred abundances.

description: We study loop corrections in boundary string field theory (BSFT). After commenting on problems with quantizing the tree level BSFT as an ordinary field theory, we discuss the tree level coupling to closed strings and define the loop corrections via factorization in the closed string channel. This description is weakly coupled in the vicinity of the closed string vacuum. Our proposal for the one-loop effective action differs in general from computing the annulus or cylinder partition functions. We also compute the decay rates and the loop corrections to the tensions of unstable branes in perturbative string theory.

Short Distance Physics and the Consistency Relation for Scalar and Tensor Fluctuations in the Inflationary Universe

description: Recent discussions suggest the possibility that short distance physics can significantly modify the behavior of quantum fluctuations in the inflationary universe, and alter the standard large scale structure predictions. Such modifications can be viewed as due to a different choice of the vacuum state. We show that such changes generally lead to violations of the well-known consistency relation between the scalar to tensor ratio and the tensor spectral index. Vacuum effects can introduce an observable modulation to the usual predictions for the scalar and tensor power spectra.

description: Light nuclei production is sensitive to the baryon density fluctuations and can be used to probe the QCD phase transition in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. In this work, we studied the production of proton, deuteron, triton in central Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}}$ = 5, 7.7, 11.5, 14.5, 19.6, 27, 39, 54.4, 62.4 and 200 GeV from a transport model (JAM). Based on the coalescence production of light nuclei, we calculated the energy dependence of rapidity density $dN/dy$ and particle ratios ($d/p$, $t/p$, and $t/d$). More importantly, the yield ratio $N_{t} \times N_{p} / N_{d}^{2}$, which is sensitive to the neutron density fluctuations, shows a flat energy dependence and cannot describe the non-monotonic trend observed by the STAR experiment. Based on the nucleon coalescence, this work can provide constraint and reference to search for the QCD critical point and/or first order phase transition with light nuclei production in future heavy-ion collision experiments.

description: Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are critical for the development of the economy in any country and known as the backbone of industrial development in both developing and developed countries. SMEs play a key role in the economy in terms of their contribution to the national output, employment, and the number of firms operating in the country. Effective management of working capital management is necessary for a firm’s survival as well as the success of a business. It is essential to maintain a healthy working capital of Small and Medium Scale Enterprises to keep the solvency and liquidity of SMEs. The problem identified in the research was that, in Sri Lanka, 82% of SMEs are export enterprises which are expected to provide a substantial contribution to the total exports of the country, however, at present, it only contributes approximately 5% of total exports. Therefore, the main objective of the study, was to identify whether there is an effect of working capital management (WCM) practices towards the export performance of the SMEs. The respondents were chosen through a systematic sampling technique, and the responses were analyzed using SPSS version 21 to discover impact of WCM on export performance of the company. The results of the study showed that Receivable management, Inventory management, and Payable management significantly affect export performance while cash management does not have a significant effect. Findings concluded that there is a positive relationship between WCM practices and export performance of SMEs. Hence, in order to enhance the export performance, SMEs should also consider their working capital practices among other requirements.

description: The regression anatomy theorem (Angrist and Pischke, 2009, Mostly Harmless Econometrics: An Empiricist’s Companion [Princeton University Press]) is an alternative formulation of the Frisch–Waugh–Lovell theorem (Frisch and Waugh, 1933, Econometrica 1: 387–401; Lovell, 1963, Journal of the American Statistical Association 58: 993–1010), a key finding in the algebra of ordinary least-squares multiple regression models. In this article, I present a command, reganat, to implement graphically the method of regression anatomy. This addition complements the built-in Stata command avplot in the validation of linear models, producing bidimensional scatterplots and regression lines obtained by controlling for the other covariates, along with several fine-tuning options. Moreover, I provide 1) a fully worked-out proof of the regression anatomy theorem and 2) an explanation of how the regression anatomy and the Frisch–Waugh–Lovell theorems relate to partial and semipartial correlations, whose coefficients are informative when evaluating relevant variables in a linear regression model.

description: We provide a set of microlensing event rate maps for M31, the Andromeda Galaxy. Rates for M31 microlensing were calculated on the basis of a four component model of the lens and source populations: disk and bulge sources lensed by bulge, disk, M31 halo and Galactic halo lenses. We confirm the high rate gradient along the minor axis of M31 due to a dark halo of lenses. Furthermore, we compute the timescale distributions of events, for both Einstein times and full-width at half-maximum times. We explore how the rate contours and the timescale distributions can be used to measure the shape and extent of the microlensing halo. With one year of twice--weekly sampling, or three observing seasons, a halo MACHO fraction as small as 5% can be detected with modest ground based telescopes.

description: We introduce the Stata menu-driven command clustersampsi, which calculates sample sizes, detectable differences, and power for cluster randomized controlled trials. The command permits continuous, binary, and rate outcomes (with normal approximations) for comparisons of two-sided tests in two equal-sized arms. The command allows for specification of the number of clusters available, or the cluster size, or the average cluster size along with an estimate of the variation of cluster sizes. When the number of clusters available is insufficient to detect the required difference at the prespecified power, clustersampsi will return the minimum number of clusters required under the prespecified design along with the minimum detectable difference and maximum achievable power (both for the prespecified number of clusters). Cluster heterogeneity can be parameterized by using either the intracluster correlation or the coefficient of variation. The command is illustrated via examples.

description: This article describes a new Stata command, tsb, for performing a stratified two-stage nonparametric bootstrap resampling procedure for clustered data. Estimates for uncertainty around the point estimate, such as standard error and confidence intervals, are derived from the resultant bootstrap samples. A shrinkage estimator proposed for correcting possible overestimation due to second-stage sampling is implemented as default. Although this command is written with cost effectiveness analyses alongside cluster trials in mind, it is applicable to the analysis of continuous endpoints in cluster trials more generally. The use of this command is exemplified with a case study of a cost effectiveness analysis undertaken alongside a cluster randomized trial. We also report bootstrap confidence interval coverage by using data from a published simulation study.

description: We generalize the notion of relative phase to completely positive maps with known unitary representation, based on interferometry. Parallel transport conditions that define the geometric phase for such maps are introduced. The interference effect is embodied in a set of interference patterns defined by flipping the environment state in one of the two paths. We show for the qubit that this structure gives rise to interesting additional information about the geometry of the evolution defined by the CP map.

description: We describe a computational framework for simulating suspensions of rigid particles in Newtonian Stokes flow. One central building block is a collision-resolution algorithm that overcomes the numerical constraints arising from particle collisions. This algorithm extends the well-known complementarity method for non-smooth multi-body dynamics to resolve collisions in dense rigid body suspensions. This approach formulates the collision resolution problem as a linear complementarity problem with geometric `non-overlapping' constraints imposed at each timestep. It is then reformulated as a constrained quadratic programming problem and the Barzilai-Borwein projected gradient descent method is applied for its solution. This framework is designed to be applicable for any convex particle shape, e.g., spheres and spherocylinders, and applicable to any Stokes mobility solver, including the Rotne-Prager-Yamakawa approximation, Stokesian Dynamics, and PDE solvers (e.g., boundary integral and immersed boundary methods). In particular, this method imposes Newton's Third Law and records the entire contact network. Further, we describe a fast, parallel, and spectrally-accurate boundary integral method tailored for spherical particles, capable of resolving lubrication effects. We show weak and strong parallel scalings up to $8\times 10^4$ particles with approximately $4\times 10^7$ degrees of freedom on $1792$ cores. We demonstrate the versatility of this framework with several examples, including sedimentation of particle clusters, and active matter systems composed of ensembles of particles driven to rotate.

description: Among the remaining viable theories that can successfully describe the late-time era is the $k$-Essence theory and in this work we study in detail the phase space of $k$-Essence $f(R)$ gravity in vacuum. This theory can describe in a viable way the inflationary era too, so we shall study the phase space in detail, since this investigation may reveal general properties regarding the inflationary attractors. By appropriately choosing the dimensionless variables corresponding to the cosmological system, we shall construct an autonomous dynamical system, and we find the fixed points of the system. We focus on quasi-de Sitter attractors, but also to radiation and matter domination attractors, and study their stability. As we demonstrate, the phase space is mathematically rich since it contains stable manifold and unstable manifold. With regard to the inflationary attractors, these exist and become asymptotically unstable, a feature which we interpret as a strong hint that the theory has an inherent mechanism for graceful exit from inflation. We describe in full detail the underlying mathematical structures that control the instability of the inflationary attractors, and also we also address the same problem for radiation and matter domination attractors. The whole study is performed for both canonical and phantom scalar fields, and as we demonstrate, the canonical scalar $k$-Essence theory is structurally more appealing in comparison to the phantom theory, a result also demonstrated in the related literature on $k$-Essence $f(R)$ gravity.

The authors attempted to verify the results of the anticancer activity evaluation section and have discovered they are irreproducible. They believe this is due to contaminated cell lines, which makes the findings reported in the article unreliable. We have been informed in our decision-making by our policy on publishing ethics and integrity and the COPE guidelines on retractions. The retracted article will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked on each page as “Retracted.”

description: 379. Omalostoma Rondani, 1862d: 58.
 ORIGINALLY INCLUDED SPECIES: Omalostoma fortis Rondani, 1862; Omalostoma robusta Rondani, 1862.
 TYPE SPECIES: Omalostoma fortis Rondani, 1862, by subsequent designation (Townsend, 1916: 8).
 CURRENT STATUS: Junior synonym of Billaea Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 [teste Herting & Dely-Draskovits (1993: 357)].
FAMILY: TACHINIDAE.
 REMARKS: Herting & Dely-Draskovits (1993: 357) indicated the method of typification for Omalostoma Rondani, 1862 as by monotypy, but this is incorrect because there are two included species. Townsend (1916: 8) is the earliest subsequent designation. Verrall in Scudder (1882: 165) listed the spelling Homalostoma and this was cited as an emendation by Bezzi & Stein (1907: 440, “ em. Scudd.”), but criteria for making this name available as an emendation were not found to be fulfilled in Scudder (1882). Homalostoma Verrall, 1882 is thus an unavailable name, new status.

description: This work presents the synthesis and properties study of a new dual-functional metal-organic framework (MOF) with the chemical formula of [Cu7(nbpt)4(H2O)2(OH)4]·(DMF)5(H2O) (1, DMF = N,N-dimethylformamide) based on a Y-shaped tricarboxylic ligand 3′-nitro-[1,1′-biphenyl]-3,4′,5-tricarboxylic acid (H3nbpt). This compound has been characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric and X-ray diffraction analyses. The crystal structure analysis reveals that compound 1 is composed of a {Cu7(OH)4}10+ secondary building unit that is connected by the nbpt3- ligands into a 3D framework with 1D nanosized channels running along the b axis. Compound 1 was investigated for its heterogeneous catalytic activities towards the cyanosilylation of aldehydes under solvent-free conditions, which shows that it catalytic activities could be greatly enhanced by removing the coordinated solvents, indicating that the exposed open metal sites in the activated 1 (1a) is beneficial to the cyanosilylation reaction. In addition, the anticancer activates of 1 has been evaluated on four human laryngocarcinoma cells (TU212, Hep-2, M4E and TU686) via the MTT assay.

description: Detailed targeting of advertisements has long been one of the core offerings of online platforms. Unfortunately, malicious advertisers have frequently abused such targeting features, with results that range from violating civil rights laws to driving division, polarization, and even social unrest. Platforms have often attempted to mitigate this behavior by removing targeting attributes deemed problematic, such as inferred political leaning, religion, or ethnicity. In this work, we examine the effectiveness of these mitigations by collecting data from political ads placed on Facebook in the lead up to the 2022 U.S. midterm elections. We show that major political advertisers circumvented these mitigations by targeting proxy attributes: seemingly innocuous targeting criteria that closely correspond to political and racial divides in American society. We introduce novel methods for directly measuring the skew of various targeting criteria to quantify their effectiveness as proxies, and then examine the scale at which those attributes are used. Our findings have crucial implications for the ongoing discussion on the regulation of political advertising and emphasize the urgency for increased transparency.

description: We study the growth rate of stars via stellar collisions in dense star clusters, calibrating our analytic calculations with direct N-body simulations of up to 65536 stars, performed on the GRAPE family of special-purpose computers. We find that star clusters with initial half-mass relaxation times of about 25 Myr are dominated by stellar collisions, the first collisions occurring at or near the point of core collapse, which is driven by the segregation of the most massive stars to the cluster center, where they end up in hard binaries. The majority of collisions occur with the same star, resulting in the runaway growth of a supermassive object. This object can grow up to about 0.1% of the mass of the entire star cluster and could manifest itself as an intermediate-mass black hole (IMBH). The phase of runaway growth lasts until mass loss by stellar evolution arrests core collapse. Star clusters older than about 5 Myr and with present-day half-mass relaxation times less than 100 Myr are expected to contain an IMBH.

description: In this paper we define a general setting for Martin boundary theory associated to quantum random walks, and prove a general representation theorem. We show that in the dual of a simply connected Lie subgroup of U(n), the extremal Martin boundary is homeomorphic to a sphere. Then, we investigate restriction of quantum random walks to Abelian subalgebras of group algebras, and establish a Ney-Spitzer theorem for an elementary random walk on the fusion algebra of SU(n), generalizing a previous result of Biane. We also consider the restriction of a quantum random walk on $SU_q(n)$ introduced by Izumi to two natural Abelian subalgebras, and relate the underlying Markov chains by classical probabilistic processes. This result generalizes a result of Biane.
