description: The study examined the Relative Efficiency of Small and Medium Scale Agribusiness Enterprises in Imo state, Nigeria using the stochastic translog profit function approach. A multi-stage and simple random sampling technique were used in selecting four hundred eighty enterprises (240 each from small and medium scale) from two Agricultural Zones of the state namely Orlu and Owerri zones. Economic efficiency was analysed using the stochastic translog profit function and Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) technique was employed to estimate the function. Full economic efficiency was tested using generalized Likelihood Ratio (LR) and t-test statistic was employed to compare the small and medium scale enterprises in the area. The result depicted that both enterprises were not efficient but small scale enterprise was more efficient than medium scale enterprise. There was no significant difference in mean efficiency between the small and medium scale enterprises. The economic efficiencies of the enterprises varied widely between 0.09 and 0.93 and 0.08 and 0.91 respectively for small and medium scale enterprises with a mean of 0.57 and 0.54. Access to credit and business experience was found influencing economic efficiency in both small scale and medium scale enterprises. The study observed that there was an opportunity for increase in enterprises’ efficiency and small and medium scale enterprises should focus more on ways of accessing credit facilities.

description: Field studies were done to compare a wettable granular formulation (Authority 75 WG) and a suspension concentrate formulation (Authority 48 SC) of the herbicide sulfentrazone. A 6 x 2 factorial experiment was laid out in a split plot design to evaluate the effect of herbicide levels on phytotoxicity and residues in both leaves and the soil. One rate of the wettable granular formulation (0.225 kg/ha), four different rates of the suspension concentrate formulation (0.165 kg/ha, 0.205 kg/ha, 0.185 kg/ha, 0.225 kg/ha) and the control (0.00 kg/ha) were tested. Tobacco phytotoxicity at 27 days after transplanting (DAT) and soil residues at 12 WAT was measured. There was significantly higher (P<0.05) phytotoxicity in all treatments where herbicides were applied compared to the control. The WG formulation showed significantly higher phytotoxicity than the SC formulation. Residues in both the soil and leaves were significantly higher in the herbicide applied plots as compared to the control for both formulations. The SC formulation of sulfentrazone at a rate of 0.225 kg/ha was significantly less phytotoxic than the same rate of the WG formulation at 27 DAT. The SC formulation of sulfentrazone can replace the WG formulation for broad spectrum weed control in tobacco in Zimbabwe at a recommended rate of 0.225 kg/ha.

description: The self-imaging, or Talbot Effect, that occurs with the propagation of periodically structured waves has enabled several unique applications in optical metrology, image processing, data transmission, and matter-wave interferometry. In this work, we report on the first demonstration of a Talbot Effect with single photons prepared in a lattice of orbital angular momentum (OAM) states. We observe that upon propagation, the wavefronts of the single photons manifest self-imaging whereby the OAM lattice intensity profile is recovered. Furthermore, we show that the intensity at fractional Talbot distances is indicative of a periodic helical phase structure corresponding to a lattice of OAM states. This phenomenon is a powerful addition to the toolbox of orbital angular momentum and spin-orbit techniques that have already enabled many recent developments in quantum optics.

description: The tobacco aphid, Myzus persicae nicotianae is an economically important pest of tobacco, causing extensive yield losses especially as it is an important host of numerous viruses and the sudden shift from the green morph to the red morph is of concern as reports of insecticide resistance are common in this morph. The efficacy of several insecticides was studied, both in the laboratory and in the field, to establish the pest status of the red coloured morph of the tobacco aphid with respect to resistance build up. The laboratory tests confirmed that resistance could be of concern in Monocrotophos only and the field work appeared to show some build up of resistance additionally in Aldicarb. The results point at a need for continued monitoring as well as use of rotations in chemical use in order to reduce the chance of resistance build up.

description: This study assessed the socio-economic determinants of seed yam production in Oyi Local Government Area of Anambra State. Purposive and simple random sampling procedure was used respectively to select four communities and 120 respondents for the study. The data obtained were used to analyse the influence of socio economic factors on seed yam production and also determine the technical efficiency level of the seed yam farmers using descriptive statistics and stochastic production frontier functions. The result indicated that 88 percent of the farmers were below 60 years of age, 86 percent had more than 10 years farming experience and only 16 percent had no formal education. The findings also indicated that the effect of the socio economic variables such as age, experience, education level, household size and farm size were positive and significant. It is recommended among others that credit facilities should be provided especially to small holder farmers to engender their production capacity.

description: Although the ‘right to enjoy a healthy environment’ is granted by the Mexican Law of Social Development, the environmental dimension is missing in the current national measures of multidimensional poverty. This doctoral research aims to understand the implications of this absence by understanding the local meanings, perceptions and lived experiences of poverty; what contributes to a flourishing, worth-lived life and justice; and the nexus between the natural environment. For this purpose, an integrated ‘Justice and well-being pipeline’ conceptual framework, inspired in the capabilities approach, was designed to examine in a holistic way the processes contributing to shape the dynamics of social exclusion. Research was undertaken in the municipality of San Felipe, a fishing community of Yucatán, México between summer 2016 and spring 2017. The research adopted a mixed data collection and analytical methods including Q-methodology and network analysis. A geographically systematic sampling approach was used to collected data through semi-structured interviews and purposive sampling for Q methodology. Research findings suggest that the absence of national indicators to measure progress towards the social right to a healthy environment hides the detrimental and corrosive effects of an unhealthy environment and the disproportionate negative effect on vulnerable groups, especially low-income, the elderly and those who do not benefit from social protection mechanisms provided by the community. Understanding social exclusion dynamics emanating from the experience of environmental injustice is essential to understand the processes that perpetuate social disadvantage. The empirical research provides evidence of the centrality of the natural environment as an enabler of a wide array of valuable life functionings. Based on this evidence, the thesis proposes a hybrid approach that encompasses the incorporation of a set of Environmental Primary Goods (EPGs) within the current multidimensional poverty measure and the creation of an environmental enabling conditions dashboard focusing on making visible key environmental enabling conditions.

description: Social capital is a central requirement for a successful climate change adaptation, especially in Cambodia where formal institutions are still poorly developed. Collective action and not-for-profit bonding are important for climate change adaptation; however, these are not easily developed. This study examined the local institutions vital for the livelihoods of citizens who live in flood-prone Krapum Chhouk commune in rural Cambodia. Through observations and in-depth interviews with the local community, it investigated social capital in terms of the dynamics of relationships, relations of trust, and social norms and practices. This study found that most networks were profit-oriented. Traditional practices such as community assistance for either agricultural works or social welfare have been diluted, and relations of trust were an issue in some villages. The connections between local institutions were found to be lacking; cross-membership across institutions was limited. Overall, many indications of weakness were found in community institutions, which may have negative implications on addressing climate change.

description: Using primary data collected from 208 shrimp farming households in West Bengal, this study found that demographic and economic factors influence land-leasing decisions in both traditional and scientific shrimp farming. The Tobit model results indicate that the household’s land holding size is positively related with extent of leased in land in traditional shrimp farming; the relationship was negative in the case of scientific shrimp farming. This signifies that the market does not facilitate land leasing for traditional shrimp culture among households with small landholdings but does so in the case of scientific shrimp farming. Moreover, the household head’s age had a negative relationship with extent of land leased out in both traditional and scientific shrimp farming. This indicates that existing institutional arrangements in shrimp farming in West Bengal have not been successful in motivating young rural people to undertake shrimp farming themselves instead of leasing out land for shrimp culture. Aquaculture policies should address this matter.

description: We present a new, model-independent approach for measuring non-Gaussianity of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropy pattern. Our approach is based on the empirical distribution function of the normalized spherical harmonic expansion coefficients a_lm of a nearly full-sky CMB map, like the ones expected from forthcoming satellite experiments. Using a set of Kolmogorov-Smirnov type tests, we check for Gaussianity and independency of the a_lm. We test the method on two non-Gaussian toy-models of the CMB, one generated in spherical harmonic space and one in pixel (real) space. We also provide some rigorous results, possibly of independent interest, on the exact distribution of the spherical harmonic coefficients normalized by an estimated angular power spectrum.

description: Unreliable network data can cause community-detection methods to overfit and highlight spurious structures with misleading information about the organization and function of complex systems. Here we show how to detect significant flow-based communities in sparse networks with missing links using the map equation. Since the map equation builds on Shannon entropy estimation, it assumes complete data such that analyzing undersampled networks can lead to overfitting. To overcome this problem, we incorporate a Bayesian approach with assumptions about network uncertainties into the map equation framework. Results in both synthetic and real-world networks show that the Bayesian estimate of the map equation provides a principled approach to revealing significant structures in undersampled networks.

description: The formulation of agricultural price policy is complicated by the multiplicity of functions that price performs. The objectives, thrust, and instruments of agricultural price policy in India have undergone conspicuous shifts during the past 50 years and so has the role and effectiveness of price policy as a tool to influence the agricultural economy. The country’s post-reform period witnessed higher emphasis and dependence on price policy compared with previous decades, where price policy aimed only at maintaining a balance between the interests of consumers and producers. It is in this context that the paper examines the effectiveness of procurement prices in getting sufficient income to the farmers. An in-depth analysis of costs and returns was conducted for wheat and paddy, the crops offered the highest protection by the state, to get idea of the profitability of Indian agriculture and gain insights into the workings of the price policy.

description: Modern communication strives towards provably secure systems which can be widely deployed. Quantum key distribution provides a methodology to verify the integrity and security of a key exchange based on physical laws. However, physical systems often fall short of theoretical models, meaning they can be compromised through uncharacterized side-channels. The complexity of detection means that the measurement system is a vulnerable target for an adversary. Here, we present secure key exchange up to 200 km while removing all side-channels from the measurement system. We use mass-manufacturable, monolithically integrated transmitters that represent an accessible, quantum-ready communication platform. This work demonstrates a network topology that allows secure equipment sharing which is accessible with a cost-effective transmitter, significantly reducing the barrier for widespread uptake of quantum-secured communication.

description: As the places where most of the fuel of the cell, namely ATP, is synthesized, mitochondria are crucial organelles in eukaryotic cells. The shape of the invaginations of the mitochondria inner membrane, known as cristae, has been identified as a signature of the energetic state of the organelle. However, the interplay between the rate of ATP synthesis and the crista shape remains unclear. In this work, we investigate the crista membrane deformations using a pH-dependent Helfrich model, maintained out-of-equilibrium by a diffusive flux of protons. This model gives rise to shape changes of a cylindrical invagination, in particular to the formation of necks between wider zones under variable, and especially oscillating, proton flux.

description: We focus on two utility programs intended to reduce energy usage and the associated CO2 emissions—a home energy audit and rebates on the purchase of high-efficiency air-source heat pumps. We use a unique panel dataset from participating and non-participating households to estimate the average treatment effect of participating in either program on electricity usage. We fit models with household-by-season, season-by-year, and household-by-year fixed effects to account for all possible confounders that might be influence energy usage. Since the programs are voluntary, we seek to restore near-exogeneity of the program “treatment” by matching participating households with control households. We deploy coarsened exact matching (CEM; Iacus et al., 2011) as our main matching method. We ask whether it is sufficient to match households based on past electricity usage, or if we gain by adding structural characteristics of the home, including heating system type. We find that the two programs reduce electricity usage by 5% on average. The effects are strong in both winter and summer for the energy audit group but appear to be stronger in the winter for the heat pump rebate group. Adding house characteristics to the matching variables does seem to affect results, suggesting that using past usage alone may not be sufficient to identify the effects of program participation.

description: The miombo woodlands of Tanzania have been subjected to continuous deforestation due to mainly agricultural expansion. Understanding the linkage between deforestation and economic efficiency of the subsequent land use is important for better land use planning and management. Ex-post costbenefit analysis (CBA) was used to examine the profitability of conversion of unmanaged miombo woodlands into cropland considering the environmental cost of the activity in terms of emissions of CO2. Ex-ante CBA was also used to compare profitability of keeping currently managed miombo woodland for the purpose of carbon sequestration with profitability of converting it into crop land. Net benefit (NB) of deforestation was calculated as the sum of agricultural rent and forest revenue during land conversion, minus cost of deforestation in terms of CO2 emissions. NB of maintaining the managed woodland was based on returns from carbon sequestration. The NBs were discounted to provide an estimate of the net present value (NPV) of clearing and cropping, and maintaining the managed woodland. The value of CO2 emissions and carbon sequestration was estimated by assuming different prices of CO2 (USD ton-1). Data collected from 54 randomly selected households were used for estimation of current maize and charcoal production in the area. Data required for the estimation of profitability of historic deforestation and carbon densities of the current land uses in the area were gathered from various secondary sources. Deforestation history was obtained from land use and cover change since 1964 reported from the area. A simple growth model was also developed to describe the biomass development of the woodlands and thus to estimate the carbon sequestration rate. We found that deforestation of miombo woodlands in Maseyu village has been, and still is, profitable if environmental costs of deforestation are not accounted for. However, fairly low prices of CO2 emissions would make deforestation unprofitable in the social analysis. At 10 % discount rate, the break-even price was USD 11 tCO2e-1 for the historic deforestation that took place since 1964 in the common land. At the same discount rate, CO2 prices higher than USD 6 tCO2e-1would turn future deforestation of the managed woodland in Kitulangalo Forest reserve (KFR) unprofitable. Incorporating other environmental costs of deforestation such as loss of biodiversity and emissions of other GHGs could potentially reduce the profitability of deforestation further, particularly deforestation of the woodlands in the forest reserve.

description: In recent historical periods, Italian Common Properties have faced some attempts to weaken their institutional role, because of their assumed inability to promote technological and economic development in the forestry and agricultural sectors. More recently, both national and regional institutional reforms led to a renewed recognition of their position in rural development. In North-East Italy the Veneto Region undertook a set of initiatives to sustain such a policy process, and new Common Properties, managing mainly forest and range lands, have been created when local citizens have been able to demonstrate their original tenure rights before the Napoleonic land property reform. However, the real commitment to the ambitious requests of the regional law and the actual forest management activities carried out by Common Properties are a matter of discussion: contrasting results emerged from recent surveys organized within the EC-funded NEWFOREX and INTEGRAL projects, with different levels of environmental services provision. Efficiency, inclusivity, transparency of new Common Properties are affected by patchy and different local dynamics. In some cases institutional conflicts exist between Municipalities and Common Properties and a better coordination between these local institutions should be promoted. This paper presents the results of a comparative analysis of motivations and concrete actions of Common Property leaders, collected through a semi-structured questionnaire proposed to the representatives of those Common Properties located in the same areas where a recent parallel survey has been conducted for Municipalities. The degree of cooperation between Municipalities and Common Properties is therefore assessed, trying to understand whether reported institutional conflicts can be considered sporadic or more structural situations.

description: Contact representations of graphs have a long history. Most research has focused on problems in 2D, but 3D contact representations have also been investigated, mostly concerning fully-dimensional geometric objects such as spheres or cubes. In this paper we study contact representations with convex polygons in 3D. We show that every graph admits such a representation. Since our representations use super-polynomial coordinates, we also construct representations on grids of polynomial size for specific graph classes (bipartite, subcubic). For hypergraphs, we represent their duals, that is, each vertex is represented by a point and each edge by a polygon. We show that even regular and quite small hypergraphs do not admit such representations. On the other hand, the two smallest Steiner triple systems can be represented.

description: In this report we give an overview on recent results obtained from extensive Monte Carlo (MC) computer simulations of the 3D 2-state (Ising) and 4-state Potts models with bond-dilution. The motivation to study the 4-state Potts model derives from the fact that, in the pure case, this model is known to exhibit a fairly strong first-order transition, such that a disorder-induced softening to a second-order transition would give clear support of the theoretical expectations. Modeling the disorder by bond-dilution enables in the Ising case a test of the expected universality with respect to the type of disorder. Furthermore, for both models this choice facilitates a quantitative comparison with recent high-temperature series expansions for general random-bond q-state Potts models.

Fast relaxation on qutrit transitions of nitrogen-vacancy centers in nanodiamonds

description: Thanks to their versatility, nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in nanodiamonds have been widely adopted as nanoscale sensors. However, their sensitivities are limited by their short coherence times relative to NVs in bulk diamond. A more complete understanding of the origins of decoherence in nanodiamonds is critical to improving their performance. Here we present measurements of fast spin relaxation on qutrit transitions between the energy eigenstates composed of the $m_s = \pm1$ states of the NV$^-$ electronic ground state in $\sim40$-nm nanodiamonds under ambient conditions. For frequency splittings between these states of $\sim20~$MHz or less the maximum theoretically achievable coherence time of the NV spin is $\sim2~$orders of magnitude shorter than would be expected if the NV spin is treated as a qubit. We attribute this fast relaxation to electric field noise. We observe a strong falloff of the qutrit relaxation rate with the splitting between the states, suggesting that, whenever possible, measurements with NVs in nanodiamonds should be performed at moderate axial magnetic fields ($>60$ G). We also observe that the qutrit relaxation rate changes with time. These findings indicate that surface electric field noise is a major source of decoherence for NVs in nanodiamonds.

description: We consider a fashion discounter distributing its many branches with integral multiples from a set of available lot-types. For the problem of approximating the branch and size dependent demand using those lots we propose a tailored exact column generation approach assisted by fast algorithms for intrinsic subproblems, which turns out to be very efficient on our real-world instances as well as on random instances.

description: This thesis describes advances in methods to measure free energy changes in simulations of molecular systems. In each case the free energy is decomposed into local environments which reveal insights about the complex systems being studied. Free energy is a fundamental quantity that can be used to predict whether changes in state are physically favourable. This can be used to predict the solubility of molecules and whether molecules are likely to bind to proteins. There are a handful of methods which measure free energy from molecular simulations. In chapter 3 we show results for an improved endpoint free energy method using inhomogeneous fluid solvation theory (IFST) which takes second order fluid-fluid entropy corrections into account. This is applied to a system of Lennard-Jones particles which show no measurable second order entropy contribution which fits with theoretical predictions. In chapter 4 an adaptation to the Zwanzig equation for path based exponential averaging methods is made. The equation is expanded to give contributions associated with every atom in the system. This method is called atomwise free energy perturbation and is applied to small molecules and ligand-protein binding. In chapter 5, IFST is applied to decompose hydration free energy at the surface of a protein into hydration sites. From these sites, information is inferred about the binding conformation of two proteins GABARAP and the GABA-A receptor. In chapter 6 statistics from hydration sites around hundreds of proteins are analysed. The distributions of free energy are shown and discussed for hydration sites in a range of local chemical environments. Also in chapter 6, the hydration sites decomposition method is augmented with local energy information associated with replacing a water molecule at a hydration site with a probe. The probe represents a ligand, and this is compared to the binding site prediction from the previous method. Further suggestions for improvements are made.

Singular gauge potentials and the gluon condensate at zero temperature

description: We consider a new cooling procedure which separates gluon degrees of freedom from singular center vortices in SU(2) LGT in a gauge invariant way. Restricted by a cooling scale $κ^4/σ^2$ fixing the residual SO(3) gluonic action relative to the string tension, the procedure is RG invariant. In the limit $κ\to 0$ a pure Z(2) vortex texture is left. This {\it minimal} vortex content does not contribute to the string tension. It reproduces, however, the lowest glueball states. With an action density scaling like $a^4$ with $β$, it defines a finite contribution to the action density at T=0 in the continuum limit. We propose to interpret this a mass dimension 4 condensate related to the gluon condensate. Similarly, this vortex texture is revealed in the Landau gauge.
