description: This study aims to analyze the economic impacts of the adoption of Bt11 corn in Brazil, as well as the consequences of the prohibition of the cultivation only in the Paraná state, if the state law number 14.162/03 would start to be active. For this purpose, an inter-regional general equilibrium computable model is used, gauged for 2001, simulating the reduction of insecticide, labor force, fuel and lubricants, as well as the increase in the yield observed in crops which use Bt11 corn. When the adoption of Bt11 corn in “technified” Brazilian regions is analyzed, the stock of capital and labor force moves from all regions to the South of the country. Taking into account that only Paraná state does not adopt the Bt11 corn, it is observed that both the labor force and the stock of capital move from the South and the Southeast to the Central-Western region of Brazil. The most expressive result takes place in the Paraná State, where not only the corn sector, but also downstream sectors lose competitiveness, reducing the level of activity, employment and household consumption. In general terms, the effects of the adoption of the Bt11 corn are transferred along its supply chain, increasing GDP, exports and household consumption. Results are more expressive in sectors and regions directly related to the corn supply chain, such as animal raising and meat, mostly located in the South of the country.

description: This study aimed to find answers to different questions related to the phenomenon which links family farmers to the poppy cultivation. Particularly, it was aimed to find whether the rationality to be imposed by the development strategy of the illicit drugs combat policy is compatible with the dynamics of the problem and why its actions are sustained even when their failure is evident. A case study in the Silvia municipality, Cauca Department, southern region of Colombia, was used as a research strategy. Being this a problem which can not be simply reduced to a matter of legality or income, within this perspective, this research represents a reflection that brings together the conflict, heterogeneity and similarities in the manifestations of the “new countryside” in the territories of Latin America, in the context of contemporary capitalism. Results show that the verified failure of the illicit drugs combat policy in Colombia proves important inconsistencies between the rationality of policy formulators and the dynamic of the territories concerned with the phenomenon.

description: Forecasting the weather is an increasingly data intensive exercise. Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models are becoming more complex, with higher resolutions, and there are increasing numbers of different models in operation. While the forecasting skill of NWP models continues to improve, the number and complexity of these models poses a new challenge for the operational meteorologist: how should the information from all available models, each with their own unique biases and limitations, be combined in order to provide stakeholders with well-calibrated probabilistic forecasts to use in decision making? In this paper, we use a road surface temperature example to demonstrate a three-stage framework that uses machine learning to bridge the gap between sets of separate forecasts from NWP models and the 'ideal' forecast for decision support: probabilities of future weather outcomes. First, we use Quantile Regression Forests to learn the error profile of each numerical model, and use these to apply empirically-derived probability distributions to forecasts. Second, we combine these probabilistic forecasts using quantile averaging. Third, we interpolate between the aggregate quantiles in order to generate a full predictive distribution, which we demonstrate has properties suitable for decision support. Our results suggest that this approach provides an effective and operationally viable framework for the cohesive post-processing of weather forecasts across multiple models and lead times to produce a well-calibrated probabilistic output.

description: This study analyzes the contribution of Pronaf (National Program for Strengthening of Family Farming) for the sustainable development of family farming in the Ceará state. For this purpose, primary data was obtained through the application of 15 questionnaires to beneficiaries and the equal number to non-beneficiaries in Baturite, Iguatu and Quixada counties, totaling 90 questionnaires. The sustainability index, employment and farm income per cultivated hectare were calculated to measure the impact of the program on the sustainable development, generation of income and employment on family farms of beneficiaries. Based on the descriptive analysis and the application of the t Student test, Chi-Square test and Mann-Whitney U test, comparisons between the selected groups of family farming were promoted. Results showed that the beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries have a low sustainability level. Pronaf had a positive impact, but not significant on farm income generation, and positive effect on the creation of employment.
Kitanomandokoro : a lady samurai behind the shadow of Toyotomi Hideyoshi
Creators: name: Kitagawa, Tomoko
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: "Your skill is the best, and our wish is always the same - Taiko" (1593) This is a quote from a private correspondence between Toyotomi Hideyoshi and his first wife, Kitanomandokoro. She had been married to him for thirty-seven years, and was respected not only by Hideyoshi and other vassals who were close to him, but also by Daimyo who lived in remote places. In studies on Hideyoshi and his time, however, this fact has never come into the spotlight; Kitanomandokoro has always simply been referred to as "a wife of Hideyoshi," and very little is known about her. Who is this lady whom Taiko praised as the best and most trustworthy? This study presents the first biographical record of Kitanomandokoro. By reading primary sources from her time, even without believing that Kitanomandokoro was a powerful figure, one would be persuaded that the "lady samurai" behind the male samurai cannot be underestimated in terms of their consolidated and meaningful positions. The private correspondences of Hideyoshi to Kitanomandokoro further act as records demonstrating Kitanomandokoro's importance in the castle in absence of Hideyoshi. These letters have generally been taken as love letters and thus have never been analyzed as a significant historical record of women's importance during Hideyoshi's reign. Conditions away from Osaka as well as future military plans were discussed in these private correspondences in great detail. This confirms Hideyoshi's reliance on his first wife and so gives a new insight into the study of both Hideyoshi and his time: The image of Hideyoshi as a solo military dictator undergoes a significant transformation when we consider the contribution of his first wife more carefully! This important lady, who observed the unification of Japan from the time of Oda Nobunaga to the reign of Tokugawa Iemitsu, had connections to a number of Daimyo and their wives, and used her power and alliances to pull strings behind the scenes that affected the politics of the nation.

description: Remote sensing image scene classification, which aims at labeling remote sensing images with a set of semantic categories based on their contents, has broad applications in a range of fields. Propelled by the powerful feature learning capabilities of deep neural networks, remote sensing image scene classification driven by deep learning has drawn remarkable attention and achieved significant breakthroughs. However, to the best of our knowledge, a comprehensive review of recent achievements regarding deep learning for scene classification of remote sensing images is still lacking. Considering the rapid evolution of this field, this paper provides a systematic survey of deep learning methods for remote sensing image scene classification by covering more than 160 papers. To be specific, we discuss the main challenges of remote sensing image scene classification and survey (1) Autoencoder-based remote sensing image scene classification methods, (2) Convolutional Neural Network-based remote sensing image scene classification methods, and (3) Generative Adversarial Network-based remote sensing image scene classification methods. In addition, we introduce the benchmarks used for remote sensing image scene classification and summarize the performance of more than two dozen of representative algorithms on three commonly-used benchmark data sets. Finally, we discuss the promising opportunities for further research.

description: The abrasive water jet machining technique is a contemporary approach for cutting the materials without any thermal distortion with small cutting forces. The basalt fiber reinforced polymer composites are material with superior mechanical properties compared to glass fiber composites. The aim of the current study focused on the cutting parameters (travel speed of nozzle, standoff distance, and pressure of water) of abrasive water jet machining (AWJM) for the machining of basalt fiber composites using Grey Relation analysis. The top kerf, bottom kerf, and kerf angle are considered as output parameters and based on the grey relation optimization, the optimum process parameters are water pressure (240 MPa), traverse speed (20 m/s), and standoff distance (1mm). The results revealed that the water pressure is highly influencing machining parameter. When increasing water pressure, the increases of the kerf was observed and Standoff distance increases the delamination of the composites.

description: Aging dynamics in thin films of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) have been investigated through dielectric measurements for different types of aging processes. The dielectric constant was found to decrease with increasing aging time at an aging temperature in many cases. An increase in the dielectric constant was also observed in the long time region ($\ge$11h) near the glass transition temperature for thin films with thickness less than 26nm. In the constant rate mode including a temporary stop at a temperature $T_a$, the memory of the aging at $T_a$ was found to be kept and then to be recalled during the subsequent heating process. In the negative temperature cycling process, a strong rejuvenation effect has been observed after the temperature shift from the initial temperature $T_1$ to the second temperature $T_2$($=T_1+ΔT$) when $ΔT\approx -20$K. Furthermore, a full memory effect has also been observed for the temperature shift from $T_2$ to $T_1$. This suggests that the aging at $T_1$ is totally independent of that at $T_2$ for $ΔT\approx -20$K. As $|ΔT|$ decreases, the independence of the aging between the two temperatures was found to be weaken, $i.e.,$ the effective time, which is a measure of the contribution of the aging at $T_1$ to that at $T_2$, is a decreasing function of $|ΔT|$ in the negative region of $ΔT$. As the film thickness decreases from 514nm to 26nm, the $|ΔT|$ dependence of the effective time was found to become much stronger. The contribution of the aging at $T_2$ to that at $T_1$ disappears more rapidly with increasing $|ΔT|$ in thin film geometry than in the bulk state.

description: Akár egy meghatározó hosszú távú trend, egyre növekszik a gyakorisága és intenzitása az extrém eseményeknek. A bizonyítékok azonban továbbra is tudományos vita tárgyai, csakúgy mint az ok-okozati kapcsolatok a klímaváltozás emberi meghatározóiról. Ami kétségtelen viszont, hogy a gazdasági kiadások, melyek a társadalmakban helyet foglaló természeti katasztrófákra irányulnak, növekednek. Válaszul számos tanulmány kezdte el vizsgálni az empirikus kapcsolatot a természeti katasztrófák és a gazdasági növekedés között. Habár az extrém események előrejelzése és a katasztrófákra való felkészülési és reagálási rendszerek jelentősen javultak az elmúlt évtizedben, az információs technológia nagymértékű fejlődésének köszönhetően, a növekvő jólét és a megnövekedett népsűrűségű emberi lakhelyek és gazdasági tevékenységek az jelentik, ha katasztrófa történik arányaiban több ember és több tőke kerül veszélybe. Az egyre pusztítóbb és nagyobb erejű természeti katasztrófák jelentős fizikai és gazdasági károkat okoznak, melyek hatásai átterjedhetnek a katasztrófa sújtotta vidékeken túli országokra is. Jelen dolgozatban a katasztrófák makroökonómiai vonatkozásairól gyűjtöttem információkat, főként a gazdasági növekedésre mért hatásokról, nagyobbrészt a nemzetközi szakirodalmakra támaszkodva. ------------------------------------------------------------- A decisive long-run trend increase in the frequency or intensity of extreme events can actually be identified from this evidence remains a matter of scientific dispute, as are the causal links to anthropogenic determinants of climate change but what is not in doubt is that the economic costs that natural disasters place on societies are rising. In response, many studies have begun to examine the empirical relationship between natural disasters and economic growth. Although the forecasting of extreme events and systems of disaster preparedness and response have improved very significantly in recent decades, thanks in large measure to advances in communication technologies, rising prosperity and the associated increased density of human habitation and economic activity has meant that when disaster strikes, proportionally more people and more capital are placed at risk. The incidence of disasters has been growing lately, across the world. They also cause substantial physical and economic damage, which can spill over beyond the disaster area to the rest of the country. This paper presents macroeconomic impacts of natural disasters focuses economic growth impacts based on international literature.
Minimizing Space Charge Tune Spread and Increasing Beam Quality Parameters with Circular Modes

description: Space charge has been a limiting factor for low energy accelerators inducing emittance growth and tune spread. Tune shift and tune spread parameters are important for avoiding resonances, which limit intensity of the beam. Circular modes are round beams with intrinsic flatness that are generated through strong coupling, where intrinsic flatness can be transformed to real space flatness through decoupling. It is understood that flat beams increase beam quality parameters, such as beam brightness and collision luminosity, due to one of the planes' emittance being much smaller than in the other plane, and since both luminosity and beam brightness depend inversely on the beam emittances. We show that circular mode beams manifest smaller space charge tune spread compared to uncorrelated round beams, which allows better control of beam quality. Minimized tune spread allows more flexible operating points on the tune map.

description: Let $Aut(X,\mathcal{B})$ be the group of all Borel automorphisms of a standard Borel space $(X,\mathcal{B})$. We study topological properties of $Aut(X,\mathcal{B})$ with respect to the uniform and weak topologies, $τ$ and $p$, defined in [Bezuglyi S., Dooley A.H., Kwiatkowski J., Topologies on the group of Borel automorphisms of a standard Borel space, Preprint, 2003]. It is proved that the class of smooth automorphisms is dense in $(Aut(X,\mathcal B),p)$. Let $Ctbl(X)$ denote the group of Borel automorphisms with countable support. It is shown that the topological group $Aut_0(X,\mathcal B)=Aut(X,\mathcal{B})/Ctbl(X)$ is path-connected with respect to the quotient topology $τ_0$. It is also proved that $Aut_0(X,\mathcal B)$ has the Rokhlin property in the quotient topology $p_0$, i.e., the action of $Aut_0(X,\mathcal B)$ on itself by conjugation is topologically transitive.

description: Understanding the appearance of commensurate and incommensurate modulations in perovskite antiferroelectrics (AFEs) is of great importance for material design and engineering. The dielectric and elastic properties of the AFE domain boundaries are lack of investigation. In this work, a novel Landau theory is proposed to understand the transformation of AFE commensurate and incommensurate phases, by considering the coupling between the oxygen octahedral tilt mode and the polar mode. The derived relationship between the modulation periodicity and temperature is in good agreement with the experimental results. Using the phase field study, we show that the polarization is suppressed at the AFE domain boundaries, contributing to a remnant polarization and local elastic stress field in AFE incommensurate phases.

description: Modern analytical database systems offer support for user-defined funtions as a flexible extension to SQL. Python is one of the most popular UDF languages being easy to use and offering a rich feature set for data-intensive tasks, but also suffering from bad performance and scalability. In this work, we describe approaches to accelerate embedded Python UDF execution using vectorization, parallelisation and compilation. We compare different compilation frameworks and show how Python code can be compiled, dynamically loaded and queried during database runtime in a transparent way. Our evaluation showed that using compilation and parallelisation together leads to significant speedups for various use cases.

Publisher: name: ilmedia
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: 620

description: In this paper, a two-dimensional compliant tensegrity joint was investigated for potential biomedical applications such as orthotics or exoskeletons. The structure consists of two compressed members connected by five compliant tensioned members. The concept is based on the tensegrity principle, which allows the realization of dynamic orthoses without conventional hinge joints. Another advantage is the adaptability to the individual needs of the patient through a suitable design of the structure and the careful selection of the characteristics of the elements. Using geometric nonlinear analysis, the mechanical behavior of the structure was investigated, focusing on mechanical compliance. The main objective was to determine the influence of the initial length and stiffness of the tensioned members and the influence of the magnitude of external forces on the overall stiffness of the movable member of the structure. The results highlight the significant impact of member parameters on the structure's stiffness and movability under varying load magnitudes. The research laid the foundation for future development of dynamic orthoses based on this structure.

description: Knowledge of the gamma-ray branching ratios of the 7.12-MeV state of 16O is important for the extrapolation of the 12C(a,g)16O cross section to astrophysical energies. Ground state transitions provide most of the 12C(a,g)16O total cross section while cascade transitions have contributions of the order of 10-20%. Determining the 7.12-MeV branching ratio will result in a better extrapolation of the cascade and E2 ground state cross section to low energies. We report here on measurements on the branching ratio of the 7.12-MeV level in 16O.

description: A borturizmus az elmúlt években egy komplex szolgáltatássá nőtte ki magát, mely szükségessé tette, hogy a minőség biztosításra egy magas minőséget szavatoló akkreditációs szempontrendszer jöjjön létre. Jellegénél fogva ennek a középpontjában természetesen a bor, borvidék és ezek különböző megjelenési formái állnak. Tanulmányomban a Franken borvidéken alkalmazott minőségbiztosítási akkreditáció vizsgálatának eredményeit mutatom be. 25 borturizmus üzemet 5 akkreditációs szempont alapján vizsgáltam meg. Kutatásom alapján megállapítható, hogy a vizsgált üzemek nagy többsége (83,6%) teljesíti az akkreditációs szempontrendszer követelményeit. Azok az üzemek, melyek komoly hiányosságokat mutatnak, lemorzsolódnak és kikerülnek az akkreditáció hatálya alól. Mivel a látogatók elsődlegesen a kiemelt (akkreditált) üzemeket keresik fel, ez presztízsveszteséget jelent számukra, hosszú távon pénzügyi veszteséggel járhat, illetve megnövekedett marketing költséget vonz maga után. Végeredményben megállapítható, hogy az akkreditációs rendszer teljesíti feladatát, a minőségbiztosítás jól működik, a látogatók előzetes elvárásaiknak megfelelő szolgáltatásokban részesülnek. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wine tourism has developed into complex services in the past few years, which requires the development of a criteria system that can guarantee high quality. Owing to its nature the focal point of it naturally is the wine and wine region as well as their various manifestations. In my study I'm presenting the results of the survey of quality assurance accreditation used in the Franken wine region. I analyzed 25 facilities of wine tourism using 5 criteria of accreditation. As a result of the survey, it can be stated that the majority of the analyzed facilities (83.6%) fulfill the requirements of the accreditation standards. Facilities which have serious insufficiencies fall back and drop out of the range of accreditation. As visitors primarily visit accredited facilities, this means loss of prestige for them, which on the long run, might cause financial loss and increased marketing costs. In the end, it can be stated that the accreditation system fulfills its purpose, the quality assurance works well, visitors receive services which live up to their preliminary expectations.
Explaining returns to acquirers of venture capital backed information technology firms : bargaining or the real option hypothesis
Creators: name: Egan, Edward J.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The purpose of this thesis is to determine whether the presence of venture capital has an effect on the announcement returns of a US acquirer of a US private information technology (IT) firm, and to determine whether this effect can be explained by either of two hypotheses taken from the literature. Venture capitalists have extensive experience in the IT sector, having placed over 50% of their funds into IT firms, which have accounted for approximately 75% of their revenue. Furthermore, venture capitalists sell almost twice as many IT firms to acquirers as they take public in IPOs. While the literature on venture capital involvement in IPOs is extensive, there is no published work on the role venture capitalists in acquisitions and little consideration given explicitly to the importance of the IT sector. The bargaining hypothesis proposes that bargaining may influence the distribution of surplus value in an acquisition (the difference between the value of a firm as a standalone entity and its value in the hands of an acquirer). It states that venture capitalists will bargain effectively on behalf of their investments so that the portion of the swplus accruing to the acquirer, which is reflected in their announcement returns, will be reduced. The real option hypothesis proposes that venture capital backed firms are more R&D intensive and less mature at acquisition than other entrepreneurial firms, having created but not commercialized their technologies, such that they closer represent real options. In a multiple bidder context, as valuations of real options suffer fiom an increased information asymmetry, the winner’s curse should be amplified with a venture backed target causing an acquirer’s investors to believe that their firm has overpaid. This too would act to reduce announcement returns. Using an event study methodology to examine acquisitions from the period 1980 to 2004, this research finds that announcement returns for acquisitions of venture backed IT firms are reduced. The effect of venture capitalists’ reputations, and the finding that venture capital backed firms may be less R&D intensive, lends more support to the bargaining hypothesis as an explanation of this result.

description: For a Cantor set $X$, let $Homeo(X)$ denote the group of all homeomorphisms of $X$. The main result of this note is the following theorem. Let $T\in Homeo(X)$ be an aperiodic homeomorphism, let $μ_1,μ_2,...,μ_k$ be Borel probability measures on $X$, $\e> 0$, and $n \ge 2$. Then there exists a clopen set $E\subset X$ such that the sets $E,TE,..., T^{n-1}E$ are disjoint and $μ_i(E\cup TE\cup...\cup T^{n-1}E) > 1 - \e, i= 1,...,k$. Several corollaries of this result are given. In particular, it is proved that for any aperiodic $T\in Homeo(X)$ the set of all homeomorphisms conjugate to $T$ is dense in the set of aperiodic homeomorphisms.

description: Északkelet-Magyarországon él a hazai cigányság mintegy fele, azonban már önmagában a létszámok mérése is komoly nehézségekbe ütközik. Tanulmányunkban feltárjuk a roma lakosság számára vonatkozó különböző forrásokat, illetve érzékeltetjük a legfontosabb területi sajátságokat. A földrajzi aspektus a roma lakosság aránya alapján kialakított településcsoportok néhány társadalmi-gazdasági mutatójának időbeli vizsgálatán keresztül jelenik meg. A demográfiai, foglalkoztatási és iskolázottsági jelzőszámok elemzése sajátos differenciákat tükröz a településcsoportok között. A mutatók különbségei rávilágítanak az integráció legfontosabb területeire, nehézségeire, nem utolsó sorban a változási tendenciákra is. Vizsgálatunk részeként összegeztük a kérdőíves felmérésbe bevont cigány kisebbségi önkormányzati képviselők integrációra vonatkozó elképzeléseit, a legfontosabb célterületeket, melyek alapvetőek lehetnek a romák felzárkózását és integrációját illetően. -------------------------------------------------------------------- One half of the Hungarian Gypsies live in Northeastern Hungary, however even the measuring of the number of Roma population seems to be a relevant problem. In the current study, the different resources of the number of Roma population will be discovered, with sepcial attention to the territorial characteristics. The geographical point of view is represented by the dynamical analysis of some social-economic indicators in the groups of settlements delimited according to the ratio of Roma population. The demographical, employment and educational indicators reflect back significant disparities among the groups of settlements. The differences in the levels of development discover the most important fields and problems of the integration and their tendencies as well. As part of the study, the opinions of the representatives of the Gypsy minority self-governments involved in our survey were also summarized, with the conclusion of the core fields of integration that might be regarded essential in the closing up of the Roma population.

description: Learning effective feature crosses is the key behind building recommender systems. However, the sparse and large feature space requires exhaustive search to identify effective crosses. Deep & Cross Network (DCN) was proposed to automatically and efficiently learn bounded-degree predictive feature interactions. Unfortunately, in models that serve web-scale traffic with billions of training examples, DCN showed limited expressiveness in its cross network at learning more predictive feature interactions. Despite significant research progress made, many deep learning models in production still rely on traditional feed-forward neural networks to learn feature crosses inefficiently. In light of the pros/cons of DCN and existing feature interaction learning approaches, we propose an improved framework DCN-V2 to make DCN more practical in large-scale industrial settings. In a comprehensive experimental study with extensive hyper-parameter search and model tuning, we observed that DCN-V2 approaches outperform all the state-of-the-art algorithms on popular benchmark datasets. The improved DCN-V2 is more expressive yet remains cost efficient at feature interaction learning, especially when coupled with a mixture of low-rank architecture. DCN-V2 is simple, can be easily adopted as building blocks, and has delivered significant offline accuracy and online business metrics gains across many web-scale learning to rank systems at Google.

description: The impact of the approach used to describe preference heterogeneity on welfare measures has been widely studied by the academic community. However, the question as to the degree of error in welfare estimation from an inappropriate choice of empirical approach has not been addressed yet. In this paper, we use Monte Carlo analysis to investigate this issue. Our overall conclusion is that, when analysts have difficulties in choosing the best approach relying on available statistical tests, smaller errors in welfare measures are likely to come from use of a latent class model.

description: Farm incomes in Poland have increased since the Polish integration with the European Union. The average monthly available income per household was in 2008 lower than income only of the self-employed entrepreneurs. A significant impact on this situation have the agricultural direct payments which are a factor of creating incomes in Polish agriculture. An own research indicated that work on the farm was not the only source of income for farm households. Almost half (49.2%) of them had other sources of income (pension, seasonal job at home or abroad, own business). Almost 67% respondents recognized an improvement of their income due to direct payments. In the opinion of 7,6% of respondents, their income has not changed after the Polish accession to the EU. / Synopsis. Od momentu integracji Polski z Unią Europejską obserwuje się istotny wzrost dochodów gospodarstw rolnych. W 2008 r., pod względem wysokości przeciętnego miesięcznego dochodu rozporządzalnego na 1 gospodarstwo domowe, gospodarstwa rolników ustępowały jedynie dochodom gospodarstw osób pracujących na własny rachunek. Istotny wpływ na tą sytuację mają płatności bezpośrednie, które są czynnikiem dochodotwórczym w polskim rolnictwie. Przeprowadzone badania własne pozwoliły stwierdzić, że praca w gospodarstwie rolnym nie była jedynym źródłem dochodu gospodarstw domowych ankietowanych rolników. Prawie połowa (49,2%) z nich posiadała inne źródła dochodu (renty, emerytury, praca sezonowa w kraju lub za granicą, własna działalność gospodarcza). Prawie 67% ankietowanych dostrzegło poprawę swojej sytuacji dochodowej w wyniku otrzymywanych płatności bezpośrednich. W opinii 7,6% nie uległa ona zmianie.

description: In the SUSY SO(10) GUT context, we study the exclusive processes $B \to K^{(*)} l^+l^-(l=μ,τ)$. Using the Wilson coefficients of relevant operators including the new operators $Q_{1,2}^{(\prime)}$ which are induced by neutral Higgs boson (NHB) penguins, we evaluate some possible observables associated with these processes like, the invariant mass spectrum (IMS), lepton pair forward backward asymmetry (FBA), lepton polarization asymmetries etc. In this model the contributions from Wilson coefficients $C_{Q_{1,2}}^\prime$, among new contributions, are dominant. Our results show that the NHB effects are sensitive to the FBA, $dL/d\hat{s}$, and $dT/d\hat{s}$ of $B \to K^{(*)} τ^+ τ^-$ decay, which are expected to be measured in B factories, and the average of the normal polarization $dN/d\hat{s}$ can reach several percent for $B \to K μ^+ μ^-$ and it is 0.05 or so for $B\to K τ^+τ^-$, which could be measured in the future super B factories and provide a useful information to probe new physics and discriminate different models.
