description: Adoption of agricultural innovations are still low, particularly among smallholder farmers in developing countries. Despite a significant amount of literature on the adoption of agricultural technologies, most of the previous studies have focused on the adoption of a single technology and employed univariate analysis in understanding the significant factors that associate with the adoption decisions. However, farmers are more likely to adopt multiple technologies as complements or substitutes and to maximise their expected benefit from the adoption decisions while constrained by their limited budget and access to information. This study contributes to the literature by studying adoption of multiple technology bundles and its implications in the design of strategies to improve dairy extension programs in Indonesia. The increasing demand for milk products in Indonesia creates a market opportunity for domestic milk producers. Most of the domestic milk supply is produced in small dairy farms with an average herd size two to three dairy cows per farm, producing around 10 litres of relatively low-quality milk per cow per day [1]. Adoption of productivity-enhancing and quality-enhancing dairy farm technologies is likely to enable smallholder dairy farmers to capture this market opportunity. This study is part of a large Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR) project called IndoDairy, focused on improving the livelihoods of smallholder dairy farmers in Indonesia. Thus, we use data from our recent survey of 600 dairy farm households conducted in August 2017 in West Java, Indonesia. We analyse the pattern of adoption of multiple technologies at the farm-level. Results from Latent Class Cluster analyses suggest that there are three different clusters of smallholder farmers based on the dairy technologies they adopted, reflecting that smallholder farmers have different technology needs. Socio-demographic characteristics of the smallholder farmers help explain why these clusters are different in technologies they adopted.

description: The nonequilibrium dynamics of correlated many-particle systems is of interest in connection with pump-probe experiments on molecular systems and solids, as well as theoretical investigations of transport properties and relaxation processes. Nonequilibrium Green's functions are a powerful tool to study interaction effects in quantum many-particle systems out of equilibrium, and to extract physically relevant information for the interpretation of experiments. We present the open-source software package NESSi (The Non-Equilibrium Systems Simulation package) which allows to perform many-body dynamics simulations based on Green's functions on the L-shaped Kadanoff-Baym contour. NESSi contains the library libcntr which implements tools for basic operations on these nonequilibrium Green's functions, for constructing Feynman diagrams, and for the solution of integral and integro-differential equations involving contour Green's functions. The library employs a discretization of the Kadanoff-Baym contour into time $N$ points and a high-order implementation of integration routines. The total integrated error scales up to $\mathcal{O}(N^{-7})$, which is important since the numerical effort increases at least cubically with the simulation time. A distributed-memory parallelization over reciprocal space allows large-scale simulations of lattice systems. We provide a collection of example programs ranging from dynamics in simple two-level systems to problems relevant in contemporary condensed matter physics, including Hubbard clusters and Hubbard or Holstein lattice models. The libcntr library is the basis of a follow-up software package for nonequilibrium dynamical mean-field theory calculations based on strong-coupling perturbative impurity solvers.

description: In this article, we address one of the recurrent problems of career theory, namely the integration of individual agency and structural conditions of action in explanations of career decisions, and through them, career trajectories and their outcomes. We draw on Barley’s suggestion to include scripts as mediating between institutions and individual actions. By theoretically specifying scripts as collectively shared interpretive schemes that describe successful careers, we are able to introduce them as a specific factor that contributes to the explanation of career decisions. We demonstrate with a study of German early career researchers in two fields how scripts can be empirically identified and used in combination with other explanatory factors. Our analysis demonstrates how the concept ‘career script’ captures a specific social influence on career decisions that is different from rules governing behaviour and individual interests, goals and plans for a career.
Relativistic field-theoretical formulation of the three-dimensional equations for the three fermion system

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)

description: A new kind of the relativistic three-body equations for the three fermion systems are suggested. These equations are derived in the framework of the standard field-theoretical $S$-matrix approach in the time-ordered three dimensional form. Therefore corresponding relativistic covariant equations are three-dimensional from the beginning. The solutions of the considered equations satisfy automatically the unitarity condition and for the leptons these equations are exactly gauge invariant even after the truncation over the multiparticle ($n>3$) intermediate states. Moreover, the form of these three-body equations does not depend on the choice of the model Lagrangian and it is the same for the formulations with and without quark degrees of freedom. The effective potential of the suggested equations is defined by the vertex functions with two on-mass shell particles. It is emphasized that these INPUT vertex functions can be constructed from experimental data. Special attention is given to the comparison with the three-body Faddeev equations. Unlike to these equations, the suggested three-body equation have the form of the Lippmann-Schwinger-type equations with the connected potential. In addition, the microscopical potential of the suggested equations contains the contributions from the three-body forces and from the particle creation (annihilation) mechanism on the one external particles. The structure of the three-body forces, appearing in the considered field-theoretical formulation, is analyzed.

description: Low levels of reproduction efficiency have been considered a key constraint of the economic performance of beef herds grazing the rangelands of northern Australia. Considerable effort has been directed at resolving the issue and beef geneticists have developed technologies to allow the selection of animals with superior traits for fertility. It has been shown that incorporating selection for these traits with other herd management strategies will lead to herds with higher reproduction efficiency. However, modifying rates of reproduction efficiency will impact herd structures and output over time, making prediction of the economic value of the genetic improvement of fertility a relatively complex task. Consideration of alternative management strategies available to improve herd performance is also necessary to understand the relative value of improving reproduction efficiency. This analysis evaluated the profitability of genetically changing fertility in two regions of northern Australia: the Katherine region of the Northern Territory and the Fitzroy Natural Resource Management (NRM) region of central Queensland, using property-level, regionally-relevant property models that determine whole-of-business productivity and profitability over a 30-year investment period. We assessed the value of the genetic improvement of fertility by comparison to baseline production systems with typical reproduction efficiency for each region and to alternative management strategies available to the property manager. We demonstrate that appropriately assessing the biological, financial and economic components is critical to estimating the value of genetically improving the reproduction efficiency of a beef herd in northern Australia. An alternative approach of generating $Indexes represents a flawed approach to identifying the value of genetically improving fertility in northern beef herds giving potentially misleading and incorrect results. Our analyses indicated that purchasing bulls with different genes for fertility is likely to have variable impacts and unexpected outcomes on the profitability and riskiness of beef enterprises in northern Australia. Furthermore, there are alternative investments available to beef producers that can produce better economic outcomes. Good quality science in the area of genetic improvement of fertility needs to be paired with equally sound economic methods to ensure appropriate conclusions are reached about value to beef producers and the industry.

description: In this letter, we evaluate potential of linear $e^+e^-$ colliders to measure the top quark mass in radiative events and in a suitable short-distance scheme. We present a calculation of the differential cross section for production of a top quark pair in association with an energetic photon from initial state radiation, as a function of the invariant mass of the $t\bar{t}$ system. This {\it matched} calculation includes the QCD enhancement of the cross section around the $t\bar{t}$ production threshold and remains valid in the continuum well above the threshold. The uncertainty in the top mass determination is evaluated in realistic operating scenarios for the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) and the International Linear Collider (ILC), including the statistical uncertainty and the theoretical and experimental systematic uncertainties. With this method, the top quark mass can be determined with a precision of $110$ MeV in the initial stage of CLIC, with $1$ ab$^{-1}$ at $\sqrt{s} =$ 380 GeV, and with a precision of approximately $150$ MeV at the ILC, with $L = 4$ ab$^{-1}$ at $\sqrt{s}= 500$ GeV. Radiative events allow measurements of the top quark mass at different renormalization scales, and we demonstrate that such a measurement can yield a statistically significant test of the evolution of the MSR mass $m_t^{\rm MSR}(R)$ for scales $R< m_t$.

description: Here, a simple, one step, lucrative and green synthesis of Cassia fistula leaf extract inspired antibacterial silver nanoparticles (CF-SNPs) was provided. Characterization of these CF-SNPs were achieved by using various spectroscopic techniques for instance Ultraviolet Visible (UV-Vis) Spectroscopy, Fourier-Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy, Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX). The effective antibacterial action of the CF-SNPs was checked against Escherichia coli (E. Coli) DH5-Alpha where MIC was 1.6 nM. Anticancer dynamism of the CF-SNPs was also tested in opposition to skin melanoma, A375 cell lines in which 4.4 nM was IC50. The binding proneness of HSA towards CF-SNPs was investigated by means of UV-Vis Spectroscopy, Fluorescence Spectroscopy, Time Resolved Fluorescence Spectroscopy, Circular Dichroism (CD) Spectroscopy, Dynamic Light Scattering, and Isothermal Titration Colorimetry (ITC). CD spectroscopy established minor secondary structural exchange of HSA in HSA-CF-SNPs complex. ITC and Time Resolved Fluorescence Spectroscopy verified the static type quenching mechanism involved in HSA-CF-SNPs complex. The binding constant was 3.45 × 108 M−1 at 298.15K from ITC study. The thermodynamic parameters showed that the interaction was occurred spontaneously by the hydrophilic forces and hydrogen bonding.

description: Towards a deeper understanding of the local structure of the B-site in (100-x)(Bi1/2Na1/2)TiO3-xBaTiO3 (BNT-xBT) with 0 ≤ x ≤ 15, solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra of the titanium isotopes 47Ti and 49Ti were investigated. The 47,49Ti NMR spectra of BNT-xBT indicate a disordered local structure for the B-site of these perovskites. The line-shape of the titanium NMR spectra of BNT-xBT samples is found to be independent on the barium content. This fact implies that the local structure of the B-site remains invariant with respect to the structural changes that result from the chemical modification with barium. The analysis of 47,49Ti NMR spectra supports the hypothesis that the main structural changes across the morphotropic phase boundary in these solid-solutions are constrained to the A-site and are related to the tilting of rigid oxygen octahedra.

description: There is little sound information about the impact of cow genetic selection programs on whole farm profit. We analyse aggregate industry data to identify trends in dairy herd genetic, production and reproductive performance. We model genetic distribution within herds over time from a long-term genetic selection program and use a representative whole-farm bioeconomic (simulation) model to explore the impact of herd genetic change on profit of the case farm. Analysis of an industry herd recording database reveals an average annual rate of increase in Balanced Production Index (BPI) of 7 units for the herd (2.9 and 10.1 for the bottom and top BPI quartiles) and 10.8 BPI units for artificial insemination sires used within herds. Modelling these trends for herds with an age-cohort BPI range average of 43 units of BPI and 20% cohort attrition rates show that the natural range between bottom and top BPI quartiles expands gradually but remains between 75–100 units in most herds across 50 years of selection. Bioeconomic modelling found an average of around $2,500 extra contribution to farm profit per annum for the 250-cow herd representative farm, with the herd achieving an annual rate of increase in herd BPI of around 10 units per year. These findings indicate that comparing performance of BPI quartiles within herds provides almost no insight into impacts of genetic selection on farm profit. Applying more widely the findings and insights from modelling genetic gain in representative pasture-based dairy farm suggests it is likely that that on many, or even most dairy farms, the gains in profit from cow genetic selection may be modest. Good advice to dairy farmers would be to (i) have realistic expectations about the role of genetic gain in their business; (ii) evaluate returns from investment in herd genetics; and (iii) compare expected returns from investments into all limiting factors present on the farm.

description: Time resolved measurements of Optical Nuclear Polarization (ONP) have been performed on hyperpolarized triplet states in molecular crystals created by light excitation. Transfer of the initial electron polarization to nuclear spins has been studied in the presence of radiofrequency excitation; the experiments have been performed with different pulse sequences using different doped molecular systems. The experimental results clearly demonstrate the dominant role of coherent mechanisms of spin order transfer, which manifest themselves in well pronounced oscillations. These oscillations are of two types, precessions and nutations, having characteristic frequencies, which are the same for the different molecular systems and the pulse sequences applied. Hence, precessions and nutations constitute a general feature of polarization transfer in ONP experiments. In general, coherent manipulation of spin order transfer creates a powerful resource for improving the performance of the ONP method, which paves the way to strong signal enhancement in nuclear magnetic resonance.

description: Chondrites are the likely building blocks of Earth, and identifying the group of chondrite that best represents Earth is a key to resolving the state of the early Earth. The origin of chondrites, however, remains controversial partly because of their puzzling major element compositions, some exhibiting depletion in Al, Ca, and Mg. Based on a new thermochemical evolution model of protoplanetary disks, we show that planetesimals with depletion patterns similar to ordinary and enstatite chondrites can originate at 1-2 AU just outside where enstatite evaporates. Around the "evaporation front" of enstatite, the large inward flow of refractory minerals, including forsterite, takes place with a high pebble concentration, and the loss of those minerals result in depletion in Al, Ca, and Mg. When evaporated solid grains re-condense onto pebbles, the concentration of pebbles is further enhanced, potentially triggering the streaming instability. Planetesimals with the composition of ordinary and enstatite chondrites can thus be naturally created in the terrestrial region. The preferential loss of forsterite also creates an enhancement of Mg/Si and heavy Si isotopes just inside the potential source region for ordinary and enstatite chondrites. Earth, which shows both features, may originate just inside where ordinary and enstatite chondrites were born.

description: The emergence of drug-resistant strains motivate researchers to find new innovative anti-IAV candidates with a different mode of action. In this work, molecular modelling strategies, such as 2D-QSAR, 3D-QSAR, molecular docking, molecular dynamics, FMOs, and ADMET were applied to some substituted indoles as IAV inhibitors. The best-developed 2D-QSAR models, MLR (Q2 = 0.7634, R2train = 0.8666) and ANN[4-3-1] (Q2 = 0.8699, R2train = 0.8705) revealed good statistical validation for the inhibitory response predictions. The 3D-QSAR models, CoMFA (Q2 = 0.504, R2train = 0.805) and CoMSIA/SEDHA (Q2 = 0.619, R2train = 0.813) are selected as the best 3D models following the global thresholds. In addition, the contour maps generated from the CoMFA and CoMSIA models illustrate the relationship between the molecular fields and the inhibitory effects of the studied molecules. The results of the studies led to the design of five new molecules (24a–e) with enhanced anti-IAV activities and binding potentials using the most active molecule (24) as the template scaffold. The conformational stability of the best-designed molecules with the NA protein showed hydrophobic and H-bonds with the key residues from the molecular dynamics simulations of 100 ns. Furthermore, the global reactivity indices from the DFT calculations portrayed the relevance of 24c in view of its smaller band gap as also justified by our QSAR and molecular simulation studies.

description: There have been many geopolitical changes and economic factors that affected the mutual trade between the EU and its main trading partners between the years 2005 and 2016. In the long term, one of the most important trade partners of the EU is Russia. It is a major supplier of energy resources to the EU as well as significant export market for European producers. Even today, when mutual trade relations are negatively influenced by trade-political sanctions, the mutual dependence is undeniable. The submission evaluates the mutual trade between the EU and Russia with the use of selected indices - revealed comparative advantages, intra-industry trade and trade intensity. The analysis of these indicators points to strategic importance of this trade relation. However, if the EU wants to sustain this relation, it should consider how to solve the current tension and after that to strengthen future mutual relations.

description: In recent years, the hyperpolarization method Signal Amplification By Reversible Exchange (SABRE) has developed into a powerful technique to enhance Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) signals of organic substrates in solution (mostly via binding to the nitrogen lone pair of N-heterocyclic compounds) by several orders of magnitude. In order to establish the application and development of SABRE as a hyperpolarization method for medical imaging, the separation of the Ir-N-Heterocyclic Carbene (Ir-NHC) complex, which facilitates the hyperpolarization of the substrates in solution, is indispensable. Here, we report for the first time the use of novel Ir-NHC complexes with a polymer unit substitution in the backbone of N-Heterocyclic Carbenes (NHC) for SABRE hyperpolarization, which permits the removal of the complexes from solution after the hyperpolarization of a target substrate has been generated.

description: We explore the combination of the extended dynamical mean field theory (EDMFT) with the GW approximation (GWA); the former sums the local contributions to the self-energies to infinite order in closed form and the latter handles the non-local ones to lowest order. We investigate the different levels of self-consistency that can be implemented within this method by comparing to the exact QMC solution of a finite-size model Hamiltonian. We find that using the EDMFT solution for the local self-energies as input to the GWA for the non-local self-energies gives the best result.

description: Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) provide an opportunity to co-design applications with hardware accelerators, yet they remain difficult to program. High-level synthesis (HLS) tools promise to raise the level of abstraction by compiling C or C++ to accelerator designs. Repurposing legacy software languages, however, requires complex heuristics to map imperative code onto hardware structures. We find that the black-box heuristics in HLS can be unpredictable: changing parameters in the program that should improve performance can counterintuitively yield slower and larger designs. This paper proposes a type system that restricts HLS to programs that can predictably compile to hardware accelerators. The key idea is to model consumable hardware resources with a time-sensitive affine type system that prevents simultaneous uses of the same hardware structure. We implement the type system in Dahlia, a language that compiles to HLS C++, and show that it can reduce the size of HLS parameter spaces while accepting Pareto-optimal designs.

description: The anomalous microwave emission (AME) still lacks a conclusive explanation. This excess of emission, roughly between 10 and 50 GHz, tends to defy attempts to explain it as synchrotron or free-free emission. The overlap with frequencies important for cosmic microwave background explorations, combined with a strong correlation with interstellar dust, drive cross-disciplinary collaboration between interstellar medium and observational cosmology. The apparent relationship with dust has prompted a ``spinning dust'' hypothesis. The typical peak frequency range of the AME profile implicates spinning grains on the order of 1 nm. This points to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). We use data from the AKARI/Infrared Camera (IRC), due to its thorough PAH-band coverage, to compare AME from the Planck Collaboration astrophysical component separation product with infrared dust emission in the Orionis AME-prominent region. We look also at infrared dust emission from other mid IR and far-IR bands. The results and discussion contained here apply to an angular scale of approximately 1°. We find that certainly dust mass correlates with AME, and that PAH-related emission in the AKARI/IRC 9 μm band correlates slightly more strongly. Using hierarchical Bayesian inference and full dust spectral energy distribution (SED) modeling we argue that AME in λOrionis correlates more strongly with PAH mass than with total dust mass, lending support for a spinning PAH hypothesis within this region. We emphasize that future efforts to understand AME should focus on individual regions, and a detailed comparison of the PAH features with the variation of the AME SED.

description: Plumbago zeylanica is an important plant used in the Ayurvedic system of medicine for the treatment of hemorrhoids or piles. Despite its clinical uses, its molecular mechanism, for ameliorating hemorrhoids is not yet explored. Hence, the present study evaluated the plausible molecular mechanisms of P. zeylanica in the treatment of hemorrhoids using network pharmacology and other in silico analysis. Network pharmacology was carried out by protein, GO, and KEGG enrichment analysis. Further ADME/T, molecular docking and dynamics studies of the resultant bioactive compounds of P. zeylanica with the regulated proteins were evaluated. Results of the network pharmacology analysis revealed that the key pathways and plausible molecular mechanisms involved in the treatment effects of P. zeylanica on hemorrhoids are cell migration, proliferation, motility, and apoptosis which are synchronized by cancer, focal adhesion, and by signalling relaxin, Rap1, and calcium pathways which indicates the involvement of angiogenesis and vasodilation which are the characteristic features of hemorrhoids. Further, the molecular docking and dynamics studies revealed that the bio active ingredients of P. zeylanica strongly bind with the key target proteins in the ambiance of hemorrhoids. Hence, the study revealed the mechanism of P. zeylanica in ameliorating hemorrhoids. Potential mechanisms of treatment of hemorrhoids are related to the processes including cell migration, regulation of cell population proliferation, cell motility, and apoptosis. The molecular docking outcomes reveal that the active ingredients of P. zeylanica bind with the key target proteins, such as PIK3CA, EGFR, PRKCA, VEGFA, MMP-9 and NOS2 in the management of hemorrhoids. Altogether, this study unveils the systemic biological profiles of P. zeylanica.
title: The effect of dietary composition on the water balance of laying hens
Creators: name: Smith, Adam
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1997

description: 12 experiments measured quantitatively the response in excreta moisture of laying hens to dietary concentrations of nutrients and non nutrient components which met or exceeded recommended requirements. Experiments 1-4 measured the response in excreta moisture to dietary sodium, potassium, phosphorus and calcium. Experiment 5 examined the response to 2 sodium salts (bicarbonate or chloride) and for phosphorus x sodium interactions. Linear increases in excreta moisture were produced with increased dietary sodium (Y=719.65+8.12+-1.55X) potassium (Y=570.76+11.95+-2.01X) and phosphorus (Y=723.50+5.59+-0.308X). Dietary calcium concentration had no effect on excreta moisture. Experiments 6-9 measured the response in excreta moisture to dietary crude protein, lysine, methionine and amino acid availability. There were linear increases in excreta moisture with crude protein (Y=410.85+1.32+-0.076X) and lysine (Y=S97.10+0.526+-0.073X). Methionine concentration had no effect on excreta moisture. Reduced amino acid availability gave a linear decrease in excreta moisture (Y=595.93+0.154+-0.048X). Experiments 10-11 measured the response in excreta moisture to dietary resistant starch, differing cereal sources and wheat bran concentration. Linear increases in excreta moisture (Y=679.97+0.170+-0.029X) were produced with increased dietary resistant starch. Cereal source had no effect but wheat bran increased excreta moisture. Experiment 12 measured the response in excreta moisture to dietary fat concentration, saturation and oxidation. There were no effects on excreta moisture. An experiment involving 1440 caged laying hens aimed to describe the change in dirty egg numbers with increases in excreta moisture. Raised excreta moisture gave linear increases in dirty egg numbers (Y=-19.92+0.0367+-0.00430X). A quantitative model was developed using experimental data to attempt prediction of dirty egg numbers from dietary nutrient composition. The nutrient composition of commercial feed samples were fitted and dirty egg numbers predicted. Predicted and commercially determined dirty egg numbers for each feed were incorporated in a regression analysis to validate the model. There was a significant linear relationship between predicted and commercially determined dirty egg numbers. Variation in dietary composition is therefore a major factor effecting excreta moisture and dirty egg output of caged laying hens.

description: We investigate optical frequency dissemination over a 1400 km long fiber link in looped configuration over a pair of underground fibers between Braunschweig and Strasbourg. This fiber link is the first to combine fiber Brillouin amplifiers with a repeater laser station. Phase-coherent operation over more than five days is demonstrated. We analyze the repeatability of the performance over four campaigns and present results of 65 days in total. The weighted mean of the fractional frequency offset of the transferred optical frequency over the complete data set is $(-1.1 \pm 0.4) \times 10^{-20}$. By analyzing the stabilization signals of the two individual fibers, the correlation of the phase noise on the two fibers is shown to be >98%.

description: The purpose of this short paper dedicated to the 60th anniversary of Prof.Constantin Tsallis is to show how the use of mathematical tools and physical concepts introduced by Burr, Lėvy and Tsallis open a new line of analysis of the old problem of non-Debye decay and universality of relaxation. We also show how a finite characteristic time scale can be expressed in terms of a $q$-expectation using the concept of $q$- escort probability.The comparison with the Weron et al. probabilistic theory of relaxation leads to a better understanding of the stochastic properties underlying the Tsallis entropy concept.

description: A multiphysics finite volume method (FVM) solver, coupling neutronics and shock physics, is under development at Politecnico di Milano for the analysis of shock imploding fissile materials [1]. The proposed solver can be a useful tool to make preliminary safety assessment of subcritical plutonium experiments [2] and, more in general, to perform criticality safety evaluations in case of strongly energetic events (such as chemical explosions) involving fissile materials [3]. To this aim, a multi-group SP3 neutron transport model is coupled with a hydrodynamic shock physics model [4], suitable to describe the propagation of strong shockwaves in solid materials. The shock physics module implements a dynamic mesh to reproduce material deformations and its governing equations are written in an Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) formulation to preserve the mesh quality in case of large distortions.
