description: In Uzbekistan cotton production substantially contributes to GDP. The cotton is produced based on the cotton procurement policy, according to which farmers have to allocate half of their land for cotton and produce certain amount of cotton. However, cotton yields are uncertain. Lower than expected cotton production by farms can be considered as inefficient farm. Because farmers lease land from the state, failure to deliver the cotton output lead to adjustment in its scale of operations – a process called farm optimization. Reduction in farm size of one farmer leads that the area of more efficient farmer that accomplished the cotton production increases. The study aims to develop policies that can improve cotton production and farm incomes. For this we developed a dynamic recursive model that considers variability and farm adjustments. We showed that variability influences farm sizes and due to farm size changes the income inequality may widen among farms.

description: We develop a non-parametric inverse method to investigate the star formation rate, the metallicity evolution and the reddening properties of galaxies based on their spectral energy distributions (SEDs). This approach allows us to clarify the level of information present in the data, depending on its signal-to-noise ratio (S/N). When low resolution SEDs are available in the ultraviolet, optical and near-IR wavelength ranges together, we conclude that it is possible to constrain the star formation rate and the effective dust optical depth simultaneously with a signal-to-noise ratio of 25. With excellent signal-to-noise ratios, the age-metallicity relation can also be constrained. We apply this method to the well-known nuclear starburst in the interacting galaxy NGC 7714. We focus on deriving the SFR and the reddening law. We confirm that classical extinction models cannot provide an acceptable simultaneous fit of the SED and the lines. We also confirm that, with the adopted population synthesis models and in addition to the current starburst, an episode of enhanced star formation that started more than 200 Myr ago is required. As the time elapsed since the last interaction with NGC 7715, based on dynamical studies, is about 100 Myr, our result reinforces the suggestion that this interaction might not have been the most important event in the life of NGC 7714.

description: This paper assesses the dynamic inefficiency of the Polish meat processing industry during the period between 2004 and 2012. This study employs also a comparison of dynamic with static inefficiency measures to address the importance of accounting for adjustment costs when measuring a firm's inefficiency. Dynamic and static cost inefficiencies and their decomposition into technical, allocative, and scale inefficiency are derived using Data Envelopment Analysis. Results showed that firms' low levels of dynmaic cost inefficiency were due to dynamic allocative inefficiency rather than technical and scale inefficiency. The 2008 financial crisis appears to have hampered firms' dynamic technical performance, but has also had a positive influence on the dynamic allocative and scale inefficiencies. WE further show that the average static measures tend to underestimate all inefficiency compenents compared to dynmaic counterparts.

description: Our research aims to develop intelligent collaborative agents that are human-aware - they can model, learn, and reason about their human partner's physiological, cognitive, and affective states. In this paper, we study how adaptive coaching interactions can be designed to help people develop sustainable healthy behaviors. We leverage the common model of cognition - CMC [26] - as a framework for unifying several behavior change theories that are known to be useful in human-human coaching. We motivate a set of interactive system desiderata based on the CMC-based view of behavior change. Then, we propose PARCoach - an interactive system that addresses the desiderata. PARCoach helps a trainee pick a relevant health goal, set an implementation intention, and track their behavior. During this process, the trainee identifies a specific goal-directed behavior as well as the situational context in which they will perform it. PARCcoach uses this information to send notifications to the trainee, reminding them of their chosen behavior and the context. We report the results from a 4-week deployment with 60 participants. Our results support the CMC-based view of behavior change and demonstrate that the desiderata for proposed interactive system design is useful in producing behavior change.

description: Exact and/or rigorous results are reviewed for the Ising and XY/Villain spin glasses in finite dimensions, such as the exact energy, correlation identities and a functional relation between the distribution functions of ferromagnetic and spin glass order parameters. This last relation is useful to prove that the phase space is not complex on a line in the phase diagram. The spin wave theory neglecting periodicity is shown to give exact results for the Villain model on a line in the phase diagram. Implications of this fact on the renormalization-group results for the random-phase XY/Villain model in two dimensions are discussed.

description: We introduce a process where a connected rooted multigraph evolves by splitting events on its vertices, occurring randomly in continuous time. When a vertex splits, its incoming edges are randomly assigned between its offspring and a Poisson random number of edges are added between them. The process is parametrised by a positive real $λ$ which governs the limiting average degree. We show that for each value of $λ$ there is a unique random connected rooted multigraph $M(λ)$ invariant under this evolution. As a consequence, starting from any finite graph $G$ the process will almost surely converge in distribution to $M(λ)$, which does not depend on $G$. We show that this limit has finite expected size. The same process naturally extends to one in which connectedness is not necessarily preserved, and we give a sharp threshold for connectedness of this version. This is an asynchronous version, which is more realistic from the real-world network point of view, of a process we studied in arXiv:1506.02697, arXiv:1703.09011.

description: To determine the superconducting gap function of a borocarbide superconductor YNi_2B_2C, the c-axis thermal conductivity kappa_zz was measured in a magnetic field rotated in various directions relative to the crystal axes. The angular variation of kappa_zz in H rotated within the ab-plane shows a peculiar fourfold oscillation with narrow cusps. The amplitude of this fourfold oscillation becomes very small when H is rotated conically around the c-axis with a tilt angle of 45 degrees. Based on these results, we provide the first compelling evidence that the gap function of YNi_2B_2C has POINT NODES, which are located along the [100] and [010]-directions. This unprecedented gap structure challenges the current view on the pairing mechanism and on the unusual superconducting properties of borocarbide superconductors.

description: This paper investigates the market potential for a new technology such as a genetically modified crop, which produces both a private and a public good. A theoretical framework is developed, based on vertically differentiated products and heterogeneous producer returns. Our setting corresponds to a system composed of a biotech firm, individual farm, consumer and the government. We claim that coordination among every single stage of the system is needed in order for the adoption process to be successful and beneficial to all those involved. Our results indicate that the market adaption of a genetically modified product depends on the magnitude effect of the new technology on the incremental savings and costs as well as consumers’ aversion and the carbon emission market price. In particular we consider the carbon emissions market as an important instrument associated with the reduction of the two negative parameters of production costs and consumers aversion..

The next such event will take place in 2002, September 8. The present Letter suggests a new experimental test of general relativity in which the effect of propagation of gravity can be directly measured by very-long baseline interferometry as an excess time delay in addition to the logarithmic Shapiro time delay (Shapiro, I. I., 1964, Phys. Rev. Lett., 13, 789).

description: Objective. EEG data collected during fMRI acquisition are contaminated with MRI gradients and ballistocardiogram (BCG) artifacts, in addition to artifacts of physiological origin. There have been several attempts for reducing these artifacts with manual and time-consuming pre-processing, which may result in biasing EEG data due to variations in selecting steps order, parameters, and classification of artifactual independent components. Thus, there is a strong urge to develop a fully automatic and comprehensive pipeline for reducing all major EEG artifacts. In this work, we introduced an open-access toolbox with a fully automatic pipeline for reducing artifacts from EEG data collected simultaneously with fMRI (refer to APPEAR). Approach. The pipeline integrates average template subtraction and independent component analysis (ICA) to suppress both MRI-related and physiological artifacts. To validate our results, we tested APPEAR on EEG data recorded from healthy control subjects during resting-state (n=48) and task-based (i.e., event-related-potentials [ERP]; n=8) paradigms. The chosen gold standard is an expert manual review of the EEG database. Main results. We compared manually and automated corrected EEG data during resting-state using frequency analysis and continuous wavelet transformation and found no significant differences between the two corrections. A comparison between ERP data recorded during a so-called stop-signal task (e.g., amplitude measures and signal-to-noise ratio) also showed no differences between the manually and fully automatic fMRI-EEG-corrected data. Significance: APPEAR offers the first comprehensive open-source toolbox that can speed up advancement of EEG analysis and enhance replication by avoiding experimenters' preferences while allowing for processing large EEG-fMRI cohorts composed of hundreds of subjects with manageable researcher time and effort.

description: The supersonic winds produced by massive stars carry a large amount of kinetic power. In numerous scenarios such winds have been proven to produce shocks in which relativistic particles are accelerated emitting non-thermal radiation. Here, we report the first detection of non-thermal emission from a single stellar bubble, G2.4+1.4, associated with a WO star. We observed this source with the uGMRT in Band 4 ($550-850$ MHz) and Band 5 ($1050-1450$ MHz). We present intensity and spectral index maps for this source that are consistent with synchrotron emission (average spectral index, $α= -0.83 \pm 0.10$). The fraction of the available kinetic wind power that is converted into cosmic ray acceleration is estimated to be of the order of a few per cent. This finding constitutes an observational breakthrough and gives new insight on the non-thermal physical processes taking place in the environments of isolated massive stars. In particular, our results show that non-runaway isolated massive stars are capable of accelerating relativistic particles and are therefore confirmed as sources of Galactic cosmic rays.

description: At this study we analyze horizontal cross-commodity price transmission and integration of the EU livestock market of pork and beef. The study seeks to investigate whether or not there are long-term and short-term relationships between pork and beef prices in the EU. Our focus is on cross-commodity price transmission which provides valuable insights into market integration and efficiency. We utilize recently developed panel time-series techniques. Our data consists of monthly data on pork and beef prices in the EU member states during the period from February 1995 to June 2014. The estimation results reveal that there exists bi-directional relationship between pork and beef prices in the EU in long run. Cross-commodity price transmission between pork and beef has increased remarkably during the past ten years in the EU15 member states. Also the convergence to the equilibrium has sped up. In short run, we found evidence only for price transmission from pork prices to beef prices, not vice versa. Overall, short-run dynamics is significantly different in the EU livestock market compared to long run dynamics.

For a percolating network, the inverse participation ratios (IPR) with $q=2$ are illustrated, as well as the typical local field distributions of localized and extended states. Numerical calculations indicate that for a definite fraction $p $ the distribution function of IPR $P_q$ has a scale invariant form. It is also shown the scaling behavior of the ensemble averaged $$ described by the fractal dimension $D_q$. To relate the eigenvectors correlations to resonance level statistics, the axial symmetry between $D_2$ and the spectral compressibility $χ$ is obtained.

A multinomial endogenous switching regression model in a counterfactual manner applied to control for selection bias stemming from both observed and unobserved heterogeneity. Results reveal that IAPs increases net crop income and reduce pesticides use (except when improved maize varieties adopted alone) and fertilizer use for non-subsidy program participants (except when improved maize varieties adopted alone). However, when improved maize varieties are combined with other IAPs, the demand for agrochemicals either reduced or kept constant. We estimate greater net crop income and larger reduction in pesticides and N fertilizer use from simultaneous adoption of IAPs, suggesting that there are complementary benefits from these practices.

Our results show that when back-reaction effects are fully taken into account the standard picture of black hole evaporation is significantly altered, thus implying a possible resolution of the information loss problem.

description: On-air WWV and WWVH spectrographic analyses are used to help analyze ionospheric propagation phenomenon. The carrier frequency of the station of interest typically is down inverted to a 1000 Hz audio tone for spectral analysis. But the primary frequencies of interest only occupy a few Hz of bandwidth. When digitized at sample rates sufficient to capture full receiver bandwidth (e.g., 8000 SPS for 3000 Hz audio bandwidth) the resulting file sizes become extremely large for long recordings. The large files are difficult to transfer over the internet and computer memory requirements are taxed during processing. This study investigates the possibility of using lower downconverted carrier frequencies so that slower digitizing rates can be used to reduce file size.

description: This study considers the issue of the transition and growth of new farmers into U.S. agriculture, by examining land ownership and leasing trends. Our approach is to characterize the entire distribution by farmer age and farmer experience rather than using young versus old and beginning versus established farmer categories. We also use a linked-farms longitudinal approach instead of a repeated cross-sectional approach to show trends over time in farmland expansion and contraction. Differences in farm size are more pronounced based on farmer experience than farmer age, as farms operated by older beginning farmers tend to be smaller and do not tend to grow over time. We find that it is mostly young farmers as opposed to all beginning farmers that rapidly expand their farm operations after entering agriculture. Our findings inform policy makers about the strategies that young and beginning farmers use to start their businesses and expand over time and suggest more effective approaches for targeting loan programs to young and beginning farmers.

description: We show how quantum many-body systems on hyperbolic lattices with nearest-neighbor hopping and local interactions can be mapped onto quantum field theories in continuous negatively curved space. The underlying lattices have recently been realized experimentally with superconducting resonators and therefore allow for a table-top quantum simulation of quantum physics in curved background. Our mapping provides a computational tool to determine observables of the discrete system even for large lattices, where exact diagonalization fails. As an application and proof of principle we quantitatively reproduce the ground state energy, spectral gap, and correlation functions of the noninteracting lattice system by means of analytic formulas on the Poincaré disk, and show how conformal symmetry emerges for large lattices. This sets the stage for studying interactions and disorder on hyperbolic graphs in the future. Importantly, our analysis reveals that even relatively small discrete hyperbolic lattices emulate the continuous geometry of negatively curved space, and thus can be used to experimentally resolve fundamental open problems at the interface of interacting many-body systems, quantum field theory in curved space, and quantum gravity.

description: The degree to which a pure quantum state is entangled can be characterized by the distance or angle to the nearest unentangled state. This geometric measure of entanglement, already present in a number of settings [A. Shimony, Ann. NY. Acad. Sci. 755, p.675 (1995) and H. Barnum and N. Linden, J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. 34, p.6787 (2001)], is explored for bipartite and multipartite pure and mixed states. It is determined for arbitrary two-qubit mixed states and for generalized Werner and isotropic states, and is also applied to certain multipartite mixed states.

description: We present spin-resolved X-ray data of the neutron star binary Her X-1 taken using the EPIC detectors on XMM-Newton. The data were taken at three distinct epochs through the 35 day precession period. The energy dependent light curves of this source vary significantly from epoch to epoch. It is known that the relative phasing of the soft (<1 keV) and hard (>2 keV) X-rays varies. Here, we find that the phase shift between the soft and hard bands during the main-on state is considerably different from that observed in the past. Further, it continues to change significantly during the other two observations. This suggests that we are observing, for the first time, a it substantial and continuous variation in the tilt of the disk, as it is expected if the accretion disk is precessing in the system. Analysis of the spin resolved data confirms that the equivalent width variation of the fluorescence Fe K line at \~6.4 keV follows that of the soft X-ray emission in the main-on state, thus suggesting a common origin for Fe K line and thermal component. The Fe K line is considerably broader when the source is brightest.

Hypomegalopsalis

description: Hypomegalopsalis new genus
 Type species. Hypomegalopsalis tanisphyros new species.
 Diagnosis. Hypomegalopsalis is distinguished from Pantopsalis, Forsteropsalis, Spinicrus and Neopantopsalis by the presence of a well-developed apophysis, longer than wide, on the pedipalpal patella. It differs from Monoscutum, Acihasta, Templar and Australiscutum in having long, slender legs, and from Megalopsalis in the lack of elongate chelicerae in the male. It differs from Tercentenarium in having a short glans that is triangular in ventral view.
 Description. As for type and only known species.
 Etymology. From the Greek prefix hypo - (=less than) plus Megalopsalis, indicating the resemblance of this genus to Megalopsalis, albeit lacking sexual dimorphism. Gender feminine.
 Distribution (fig. 44). Southwest Western Australia.

Takahashi Integral Equation and High-Temperature Expansion of the Heisenberg Chain

description: Recently a new integral equation describing the thermodynamics of the 1D Heisenberg model was discovered by Takahashi. Using the integral equation we have succeeded in obtaining the high temperature expansion of the specific heat and the magnetic susceptibility up to O((J/T)^{100}). This is much higher than those obtained so far by the standard methods such as the linked-cluster algorithm. Our results will be useful to examine various approximation methods to extrapolate the high temperature expansion to the low temperature region.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: New businesses begun in North Dakota since 1980 employ nearly a fourth of the State's workforce. That ratio is about the same in urban and rural areas alike, even in areas highly dependent on farming. The new businesses seem to be durable, with a survival rate of nearly two-thirds through 1987. About half of the new business ventures turned to their local banks for startup financing, but few looked to government programs for help.

description: The synthesis of helium in the early Universe depends on many input parameters, including the value of the gravitational coupling during the period when the nucleosynthesis takes place. We compute the primordial abundance of helium as function of the gravitational coupling, using a semi-analytical method, in order to track the influence of $G$ in the primordial nucleosynthesis. To be specific, we construct a cosmological model with varying $G$, using the Brans-Dicke theory. The greater the value of $G$ at nucleosynthesis period, the greater the abundance of helium predicted. Using the observational data for the abundance of the primordial helium, constraints for the time variation of $G$ are established.

description: The use of artificial neural networks as models of chaotic dynamics has been rapidly expanding. Still, a theoretical understanding of how neural networks learn chaos is lacking. Here, we employ a geometric perspective to show that neural networks can efficiently model chaotic dynamics by becoming structurally chaotic themselves. We first confirm neural network's efficiency in emulating chaos by showing that a parsimonious neural network trained only on few data points can reconstruct strange attractors, extrapolate outside training data boundaries, and accurately predict local divergence rates. We then posit that the trained network's map comprises sequential geometric stretching, rotation, and compression operations. These geometric operations indicate topological mixing and chaos, explaining why neural networks are naturally suitable to emulate chaotic dynamics.
