description: Cladding structures of photonic band-gap fibers often have air-holes of non-circular shape and, typically, close-to-hexagonal air holes with curved corners are observed. We study photonic band-gaps in such structures by aid of a two-parameter representation of the size and curvature. For the fundamental band-gap we find that the band-gap edges (the intersections with the air line) shift toward shorter wavelengths when the air-filling fraction f is increased. The band-gap also broadens and the relative band-width increases exponentially with f^2. Comparing to recent experiments [Nature 424, 657 (2003)] we find very good agreement.

description: This paper uses two triple-hurdle models to analyse the determinants of Ethiopian rural households decisions in (1) milk production, butter marketing and volume of butter sales; and (2) milk production, purchased input use and intensity of purchased input use. Results are based on data collected from 5000 households and 497 rural communities in the highlands of Ethiopia. Availability of feed stands out as an important factor influencing household decision to engage in milk production, indicating the dire need to develop feed resources to promote dairy production in rural Ethiopia. Milk production in rural Ethiopia seems to have an interesting and complex gender dimension. While female-headed households are less likely to be engaged in milk production, perhaps because of resource limitations, they are more likely to manage their dairy farms intensively. Marketing costs matter in dairy production and marketing in rural Ethiopia, suggesting for the need to develop market infrastructures for both dairy outputs and inputs. Our results further show that participation in butter markets as sellers or the amount of butter sales do not respond to price signals, suggesting the need to understand the behavioural aspect of dairy marketing decision in rural Ethiopia.

description: Membrane sigma-models have been used for the systematic description of closed strings in non-geometric flux backgrounds. In particular, the conditions for gauge invariance of the corresponding action functionals were related to the Bianchi identities for the fluxes. In this contribution we demonstrate how to express these Bianchi identities in terms of homotopy relations of the underlying $L_\infty$-algebra for the case of the Courant sigma-model. We argue that this result can be utilized in understanding the constraint structure of Double Field Theory and the corresponding membrane sigma-model.

description: This article investigates the drivers and the persistence of firm profits in EU food retailing thereby generating insights for the derivation of managerial strategies as well as antitrust policies in this highly dynamic sector. Using a dynamic panel model, a sample of 13,256 food retailers from five EU countries France, Poland, Spain, Sweden, and the UK is analyzed over the period 2006 to 2014. Our findings indicate that profits in food retailing are more persistent than in other retail sectors presumably caused by high bargaining power towards processors and entry barriers that lead to less pronounced competition. The results also show that profits are influenced by firm- and industry-specific characteristics. While industry concentration and firm size positively influence profitability, firm age and financial risk tend to have a negative impact. Acknowledgement :

description: Abstract The paper attempts to quantify the benefits of contract farming on farmers income and investigates the determinants of participation in contract farming. This is based on a survey of 1,331 farmers engaged in cultivation of onion, okra and pomegranate from Maharashtra State in India. Descriptive statistics, regression analysis (using instrumental variable) and propensity score matching have been used in the analysis. The study reveals that contract farming, by connecting smallholders to high-end international market, ensures them with higher returns to the tune of Rs 14.5 per kilogram over independent farmers. Access to institutional credit, extension services, farm-size, ownership of transport, and migration significantly affected farmers participation in contract farming. The empirical evidence on benefits from contract farming in high value export commodities should induce conducive policies for promotion and upscaling of contract farming in India.

LensClean revisited

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We discuss the LensClean algorithm which for a given gravitational lens model fits a source brightness distribution to interferometric radio data in a similar way as standard Clean does in the unlensed case. The lens model parameters can then be varied in order to minimize the residuals and determine the best model for the lens mass distribution. Our variant of this method is improved in order to be useful and stable even for high dynamic range systems with nearly degenerated lens model parameters. Our test case B0218+357 is dominated by two bright images but the information needed to constrain the unknown parameters is provided only by the relatively smooth and weak Einstein ring. The new variant of LensClean is able to fit lens models even in this difficult case. In order to allow the use of general mass models with LensClean, we develop the new method LenTil which inverts the lens equation much more reliably than any other method. This high reliability is essential for the use as part of LensClean. Finally a new method is developed to produce source plane maps of the unlensed source from the best LensClean brightness models. This method is based on the new concept of dirty beams in the source plane. The application to the lens B0218+357 leads to the first useful constraints for the lens position and thus to a result for the Hubble constant. These results are presented in an accompanying Paper II, together with a discussion of classical lens modelling for this system.

description: The study of the eightfold degeneracy at a neutrino complex that includes a standard $β$-Beam and a Super-Beam facility is presented for the first time in this paper. The scenario where the neutrinos are sent toward a Megaton water Cerenkov detector located at the Fréjus laboratory (baseline 130 Km) is exploited. The performance in terms of sensitivity for measuring the continuous ($θ_{13}$ and $δ$) and discrete (${sign} [ Δm^2_{23} ]$ and ${sign} [\tan (2θ_{23}) ]$) oscillation parameters for the $β$-Beam and Super-Beam alone, and for their combination has been studied. A brief review of the present uncertainties on the neutrino and antineutrino cross-sections is also reported and their impact on the discovery potential discussed.

The Formation and Evolution of the First Massive Black Holes
Creators: name: Haiman, Zoltan

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The first massive astrophysical black holes likely formed at high redshifts (z>10) at the centers of low mass (~10^6 Msun) dark matter concentrations. These black holes grow by mergers and gas accretion, evolve into the population of bright quasars observed at lower redshifts, and eventually leave the supermassive black hole remnants that are ubiquitous at the centers of galaxies in the nearby universe. The astrophysical processes responsible for the formation of the earliest seed black holes are poorly understood. The purpose of this review is threefold: (1) to describe theoretical expectations for the formation and growth of the earliest black holes within the general paradigm of hierarchical cold dark matter cosmologies, (2) to summarize several relevant recent observations that have implications for the formation of the earliest black holes, and (3) to look into the future and assess the power of forthcoming observations to probe the physics of the first active galactic nuclei.

description: Despite the widespread belief on the importance of increasing access to information technology - and especially mobile phones - on agricultural market performance in developing countries, there is relatively little solid empirical evidence. Exploiting unique data on wholesale prices and on the spatial and temporal roll-out of mobile phone towers in Ethiopia, we analyze the impact of mobile phone coverage on price dispersion between major cereal markets in the country. We find no signicant impact and link this lack of impact of IT (mobile phones) on agricultural market performance to availability of market information before mobile phones' take-o, to the need for visual inspection of produce because of lack of grades and standards, to and easy storability of cereals.

Project risk neutrality in the context of asymmetric information

description: Using the modeling framework of Stiglitz and Weiss (1981), we show that – perhaps surprisingly – there is no influence of average project risk on the capital market equilibrium. The savings interest rate fully determines the amount of credit rationing and the nature of an equilibrium (adverse selection, two-prices etc.). This rate is, in turn, fully determined by the relative probabilities of success of firms’ projects (and, thus, repayment of their debt). Hence, making capital markets overall “less risky”, which may for example be the case when financial markets become greener, does not alleviate concerns of asymmetric information. The result holds both for cases of hidden information and for those of hidden actions.

description: We consider non-gravitational heating effects on galaxy clusters on the basis of the Monte-Carlo modeling of merging trees of dark matter halos combined with the thermal evolution of gas inside each halo. Under the assumption of hydrostatic equilibrium and the isothermal gas profiles, our model takes account of the metallicity evolution, metallicity-dependent cooling of gas, supernova energy feedback, and heating due to jets of radio galaxies in a consistent manner. The observed properties of galaxy clusters can be explained in models with higher non-gravitational heating efficiency than that in the conventional model. Possibilities include jet heating by the Fanaroff-Riley Type II radio galaxies, and the enhanced star formation efficiency and/or supernova energy feedback, especially at high redshifts.

description: By altering personal diets individuals can avoid serious amounts of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Additionally, several studies documented that individuals have a positive intention to make climate-friendly food choices. Thus, the aim of this study was to analyze the factors which influence consumers behavioral intentions towards climate-friendly food consumption. The analysis is based on data from a face-to-face in-shop survey in southern Germany and is especially interested in the consumption of fruit and vegetables, since substituting animal products with fruit and vegetables can save high amounts of GHG emissions. Using an extended model of the Theory of Reasoned Action and structural equation modelling to analyze the data the survey was able to prove a large positive effect of Climate Attitudes and a medium positive effect of Subjective Norms on consumers behavioral intention towards climate-friendly food consumption. However, the assumed direct effect of Perceived Behavioral Competency on this issue could not be shown. On the basis of the results strategies to enhance climate-friendly food consumption are suggested.

description: Polymers in a turbulent flow are subject to intense strain, which can cause their scission and thereby limit the experimental study and application of phenomena such as turbulent drag reduction and elastic turbulence. In this paper, we study polymer scission in homogeneous isotropic turbulence, through a combination of stochastic modelling, based on a Gaussian time-decorrelated random flow, and direct numerical simulations (DNSs) with both one-way (passive) and two-way (active) coupling of the polymers and the flow. For the first scission of passive polymers, the stochastic model yields analytical predictions which are found to be in good agreement with results from the DNSs, for the temporal evolution of the fraction of unbroken polymers and the statistics of the survival of polymers. The impact of scission on the dynamics of a turbulent polymer solution is investigated through DNSs with two-way coupling (active polymers). Our results indicate that the reduction of kinetic energy dissipation due to feedback from stretched polymers is an inherently transient effect, which is lost as the polymers breakup. Thus, the overall dissipation-reduction is maximised by an intermediate polymer relaxation time, for which polymers stretch significantly but without breaking too quickly. We also study the dynamics of the polymer fragments which form after scission; these daughter polymers can themselves undergo subsequent, repeated, breakups to produce a hierarchical population of polymers with a range of relaxation times and scission rates.

description: A number of physical systems exhibit a particular form of asymptotic conformal invariance: within a particular range of distances, they are characterized by a long-range conformal interaction (inverse square potential), the absence of dimensional scales, and an SO(2,1) symmetry algebra. Examples from molecular physics to black holes are provided and discussed within a unified treatment. When such systems are physically realized in the appropriate strong-coupling regime,the occurrence of quantum symmetry breaking is possible. This anomaly is revealed by the failure of the symmetry generators to close the algebra in a manner shown to be independent of the renormalization procedure.

description: Results of systematic measurements of Sr-90 activity concentrations in milk for the period 1961 - 2001 are summarized. An exponential decline of radioactivity followed the moratorium on atmospheric nuclear testing. The highest activity of Sr-90 deposited by fallout, being 1060 Bq/m2, was recorded in 1963, while the peak Sr-90 activity concentration in milk, 1.42 +/-0.17 Bq/L, was recorded in 1964. The values in year 2001 for fallout deposition and milk were 7.7 Bq/m2 and 0.07 +/- 0.03 Bq/L, respectively. The reactor accident at Chernobyl caused higher Sr-90 levels only in 1986. Sr-90 fallout activity affects milk activity, the coefficient of correlation between Sr-90 fallout activity and Sr-90 activity concentrations in milk being 0.80. The transfer coefficient from fallout deposition to milk was estimated to be 2.5 mBqy/L per Bq/m2. The dose incurred by milk consumption was estimated for the Croatian population, the annual collective effective dose in 2001 being approximately 2.0 man-Sv.

description: The economic crisis in 2008 dealt a heavy blow to the developed countries and even the whole world. The long-term stable growth of the western economy was broken, and it is mired into the so-called "high-income trap". This paper argues that the reasons why developed countries fall into the "high income trap" can be summarized as three aspects: internal factors, external factors and fundamental reasons. On this basis, this paper analyzes the response strategies and effects of developed countries, in order to provide a reference for our country to be a high-income country while maintaining sustained and stable economic growth.

description: With the rapid development of China's agricultural production and the improvement of people's living standards and health awareness, people's demands for food quality and nutrition have become increasingly strong. Agricultural products that meet various functional needs such as nutrition, health care and safety are increasingly favored by the general public. Se, one of the trace elements necessary for the human body, has begun to be applied and developed in medicine and other life sciences. Developing Se-enriched agricultural relying on Guangxi's unique Se-enriched soil resources is of great significance to enhance people's quality of life, increase the added value of agricultural products, and promote the transformation and upgrading of modern agriculture in the region. Starting with the development status and advantages of industrial development of Se-enrich agriculture in Guangxi, the main problems existing in the current industrial development of Se-enrich agriculture in Guangxi were summarized, and specific countermeasures were put forward in this paper, so as to provide theoretical support for the development of Se-enriched agriculture in Guangxi.

description: We consider distributed statistical optimization in one-shot setting, where there are $m$ machines each observing $n$ i.i.d. samples. Based on its observed samples, each machine then sends an $O(\log(mn))$-length message to a server, at which a parameter minimizing an expected loss is to be estimated. We propose an algorithm called Multi-Resolution Estimator (MRE) whose expected error is no larger than $\tilde{O}\big(m^{-{1}/{\max(d,2)}} n^{-1/2}\big)$, where $d$ is the dimension of the parameter space. This error bound meets existing lower bounds up to poly-logarithmic factors, and is thereby order optimal. The expected error of MRE, unlike existing algorithms, tends to zero as the number of machines ($m$) goes to infinity, even when the number of samples per machine ($n$) remains upper bounded by a constant. This property of the MRE algorithm makes it applicable in new machine learning paradigms where $m$ is much larger than $n$.

description: In this paper we study the thermodynamics of black branes with a modulated complex scalar in the context of bulk and boundary theories. The modulation induces inhomogeneity to the dual field theory, anisotropic pressure, and brane charge to the bulk geometry. The first law of thermodynamics and the Smarr relation are obtained using the off-shell ADT and the reduced action formalisms. We discuss the prescription for the mass of black branes, which relies on relevant and marginal deformations in the dual field theory. One of the cases is the gravity dual to a ABJM model with a sinusoidal mass function depending on a spatial coordinate. This is the first study of the deformed ABJM model at finite temperature including bulk thermodynamics.

description: We examine the steady state and dynamic behaviour of an optical resonator comprised of two interlinked fibre loops sharing a common pump. A coupled Ikeda map models with great accuracy the field evolution within and exchange between both fibres over a single roundtrip. We find this supports a range of rich multi-dimensional bistability in the continuous wave regime, as well as previously unseen cavity soliton states. Floquet analysis reveals that modulation and parametric instabilities occur over wider domains than in single-fibre resonators, which can be tailored by controlling the relative dispersion and resonance frequencies of the two fibre loops. Parametric instability gives birth to train of pulses with a peculiar period-doubling behavior.
Multi-Qubit Gates in Arrays Coupled by 'Always On' Interactions

description: Recently there has been interest in the idea of quantum computing without control of the physical interactions between component qubits. This is highly appealing since the 'switching' of such interactions is a principal difficulty in creating real devices. It has been established that one can employ 'always on' interactions in a one-dimensional Heisenberg chain, provided that one can tune the Zeeman energies of the individual (pseudo-)spins. It is important to generalize this scheme to higher dimensional networks, since a real device would probably be of that kind. Such generalisations have been proposed, but only at the severe cost that the efficiency of qubit storage must *fall*. Here we propose the use of multi-qubit gates within such higher-dimensional arrays, finding a novel three-qubit gate that can in fact increase the efficiency beyond the linear model. Thus we are able to propose higher dimensional networks that can constitute a better embodiment of the 'always on' concept - a substantial step toward bringing this novel concept to full fruition.

description: We present Chandra and XMM-Newton observations of the composite star-forming/Seyfert galaxy IRAS20051-1117. The X-ray imaging and spectral properties reveal the presence of an active nucleus. The Chandra image shows a strong nuclear point source (L(2-10 keV) ~ 4x10^{42} erg s-1). The nuclear X-ray source coincides with a bright, alsoun-resolved, UV source which appears in the xmm Optical Monitor images. The xmm and chandra spectrum is well represented by a power-law with a photon index of ~1.7-1.9 and a thermal component with a temperature of 0.2 keV. We also detect an Fe line at 6.4 keV with an equivalent width of ~0.3 keV, typical of the iron lines that have been detected in the X-ray spectra of "classical" AGN. We find no evidence for short-term variability in the X-ray light curves, while we detect no variations between the xmm and chandra observations which are separated by about 20 days. Optical spectroscopic observations which were performed ~2.5 months after the xmm observation show that the optical spectrum is dominated by a star-forming galaxy component, although a weak broad Halpha component is present, in agreement with the results from past observations. The lack of strong AGN signatures in the optical spectrum of the source can be explained by the dilution of the nuclear AGN emission by the nuclear star-forming component and the strong emission of the underlying, bright host galaxy.

description: At present, the development of e-commerce is slow for agricultural products in China. Taking agricultural workers as the research object, this paper analyzed factors influencing the implementation of e-commerce of agricultural products. Besides, from the enterprise status, market conditions, and groundings, with the aid of the GEM (Groundings-Enterprises- Markets) model, it evaluated the factors influencing the development of e-commerce of agricultural products. Then, using SPSS software, it analyzed factors and came up with improvement recommendations. The results show that 59% of the respondents are willing to conduct e-commerce, and the status of the enterprises, market conditions and groundings are main factors influencing the implementation of e-commerce of agricultural products. Therefore, it is required to increase industrial concentration, promote cooperation between small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and strengthen infrastructure construction, so as to promote the development of e-commerce of agricultural products.

description: There are state-owned and privately-owned rubber plantations in Malaysia, of which most of them are privately owned. In Malaysia, most rubber gardens are small, and the ratio of small rubber gardens to large rubber plantations is approximately 10:1. In Malaysia, the plating area of rubber trees was only 4 200 ha in 1900, 1.30 million ha in 1961, and 1.07 million ha in 2014. It was the highest in 1978, up to 1.89 million ha. It was the lowest in 2010, only 1.02 million ha. The per unit area yield of rubber in Malaysia was 6 074 hg/ha in 1961 and 6 274 hg/ha in 2014. The maximum 10 285 hg/ha appeared in 1987, while the minimum 5 492 hg/ha appeared in 1999. The per unit area yield of rubber in Malaysia fluctuated greatly. Rubber yield in Malaysia was 790 000 in 1961, and it was the highest in 1988 (1.66 million t) and the lowest in 2014 (670 000 t).

description: In the new period, corruption in China's rural areas is becoming increasingly prominent. There is frequent occurrence of violation of laws and disciplines, such as the use of power for personal gain, and corruption and bribery. Main causes for the corruption in China’s rural areas include imperfect rural supervision mechanism, imperfect financial system, and low crime cost. How to deal with the increasingly serious corruption situation is a topic faced at present and in the future. It is required to continue to reinforce the democratic supervision and education of village cadres, improve the comprehensive quality of villagers, and increase the crackdown and punishment of corrupt practices, so as to guarantee healthy operation of rural authorities.

description: In order to investigate the current status of heavy metals pollution and food safety of aquatic products from Lake Taihu, atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS) was used to determine the contents of Pb, Cd, Cu, and Zn in the head, muscle and viscera of farmed and wild aquatic products. The results showed that the distribution patterns of heavy metals in different parts of aquatic products were quite different. Heavy metals were mainly distributed in the head and viscera of all investigated aquatic products except wild Carassius auratus. The contents of heavy metals in each part of aquatic products generally decreased in the following order: Zn > Cu > Pb > Cd. The levels of heavy metals pollution in the muscle tissue of farmed and wild aquatic products were different, with higher levels being found in the muscle tissue of wild aquatic products. Furthermore, the content of each heavy metal in muscle tissue were also different among different kinds of aquatic products, with both farmed and wild Metapenaeus ensishaving the strongest Cu accumulation capacity while wild C. auratus having the strongest Zn accumulation capacity. The heavy metals pollution in the muscle tissue of aquatic products from Lake Taihu was generally at slight level, and only a few of them were seriously polluted with heavy metals. The main pollution factors were Pb and Zn.

description: In this study, we use single-cell RNA sequencing to investigate transcriptional changes in human macrophages when they are infected with microsporidian E. intestinalis. Primary human PBMCs were collected from 4 healthy donors, differentiated into macrophages, and infected with E. intestinalis for 3, 12, 24, 48, or 72 hours. Uninfected cells were used as negative control.

Cell hashing was used to combine cells from different infection timepoints and the library preparation was prepared using Chromium Single-Cell 3' Reagent Kits v2 Chemistry (10x Genomics).

Three libraries were prepared and sequenced, including

Donor 1 library contains 10,100 cells (uninfected control, 24h, 48h, 72h)

Donor 2 library contains 12,279 cells (uninfected control, 3h, 12h, 24h)

Donor 3 and 4 library contains 30,355 cells (uninfected control, 24h, 48h)

All the R codes used to analyze these datasets are availables in "scRNAseq_E_intestinalis-scRNAseq.zip" file

All raw micrographs for Figure 1 and 4E can be accessed in "Figure1_raw_iamges.zip" and "Figure4E_raw_iamges.zip" files, respectively.

description: Interfaces between demixed fluid phases of binary mixtures of hard platelets are investigated using density-functional theory. The corresponding excess free energy functional is calculated within a fundamental measure theory adapted to the Zwanzig model, in which the orientations of the particles of rectangular shape are restricted to three orthogonal orientations. Density and orientational order parameter profiles at interfaces between coexisting phases as well as the interfacial tension are determined. A density inversion, oscillatory density profiles, and a Fisher-Widom line have been found in a mixture of large thin and small thick platelets. The lowest interfacial tension corresponds to the mean bulk orientation of the platelets being parallel to the interface. For a mixture of large and small thin platelets, complete wetting of an isotropic-nematic interface by a second nematic phase is found.
