description: Agriculture plays a vital role in the growth and development of the High Plains Region of the United States. With the development and adoption of irrigation technology, this region was transformed into one of the most agriculturally productive regions in the world (Peterson et al., 2003). The primary source of irrigation in this region is the Ogallala Aquifer. Currently, water from the aquifer is being used at a much faster rate than natural recharge can occur, resulting in a high rate of depletion from this finite resource. Depletion of scarce water resources will have a significant economic impact on the long-term sustainability of the region. The objective of this study is to evaluate the impact alternative prices and discount rates have on groundwater policy recommendations. Deterministic models of groundwater withdrawals were developed and used in order to analyze and evaluate the impact of high, average, and low crop prices in a status quo scenario as well as a policy scenario reducing irrigated acreage allocation. Furthermore, this study analyzes the effects and associated consequences of alternative discount rates on net and total revenue. As indicated by results of this study, alternative prices, costs, and discount rates utilized in a model have an effect on policy effectiveness. Considering the declining levels of saturated thickness seen in the results of this study, the analysis of alternative discount rates and the associated policy recommendations is merited.

Ramphotyphlops multilineatus

description: Ramphotyphlops multilineatus (Schlegel, 1839)
 Type locality. New Guinea.
 Distribution in the Kei Islands. Originally described from New Guinea, three specimens were reported from Elat, Kei Besar by Roux (1910) and later reported by Boulenger (1893, p. 50). We did not collect any specimens during our survey.
 Natural history. A larger, presumably fossorial blind snake.
 Field identification. Another small blind snake from the Kei Islands, differentiated from Malayotyphlops kraalii by possessing a preocular in contact with the second and third labials. According to specimens examined by Boulenger (1893, p. 50), “snout very prominent, with sharp cutting edge and inferior nostrils; rostral very large, extending to between the eyes, the portion visible from below as broad as long; nasal nearly completely divided, the cleft proceeding from the first labial; preocular present, nearly as broad as the ocular, in contact with the second and third labials; eyes distinct; prefrontal, supraoculars, and parietals much broader than the scales on the body; four upper labials; diameter of body [1/50 to 1/60] of the total length; tail nearly twice as long as broad, ending in a spine; 20 scales round the body; greyish, with dark brown longitudinal lines corresponding with the series of scales; total length 370 mm.”

description: Farmers, when choosing a bank whose services they want to use, are guided by various factors. The purpose of the research conducted was to select the most essential factors that determine the choice of a bank and an identification of connections between opinions on a bank (its reputation) and the selected features that characterize farmers from the Middle Pomeranian region. The primary data obtained in the course of the empirical field research conducted and a multidimensional correspondence analysis were used in the realization of the objective accepted. The following constituted the set of operands: the status and acreage of the farm, the type and the value of production, sex, age and education of the person in charge of the farm. As is evident from the research conducted, the opinion on a bank (its reputation) was the most essential determinant indicated in the selection of banks by farmers. The analysis demonstrated among others that those farmers polled who think that the opinion on the bank constitutes an important cause in the selection of banking products and services are in aged below 45, they possess secondary agricultural education and run farms with plant and animal production.

description: We present optical photometric, spectroscopic data for the stars in the high Galactic latitude molecular cloud MBM 110. For the complete membership selection of MBM 110, we also analyze WISE mid-infrared data and Gaia astrometric data. Membership of individual stars is critically evaluated using the data mentioned above. The Gaia parallax of stars in MBM 110 is 2.667 +/- 0.095 mas (d = 375 +/- 13 pc), which confirms that MBM 110 is a small star-forming region in the Orion-Eridanus superbubble. The age of MBM 110 is between 1.9 Myr and 3.1 Myr depending on the adopted pre-main sequence evolution model. The total stellar mass of MBM 110 is between 16 M_sun (members only) and 23 M_sun (including probable members). The star formation efficiency is estimated to be about 1.4%. We discuss the importance of such small star formation regions in the context of the global star formation rate and suggest that a galaxy's star formation rate calculated from the Halpha luminosity may underestimate the actual star formation rate. We also confirm a young brown dwarf member based on photometry, spectroscopy, and astrometry.

description: This paper focuses on mechanical aspects of chromatin biological functioning. Within a basic geometric modeling of the chromatin assembly, we give for the first time the complete set of elastic constants (twist and bend persistence lengths, stretch modulus and twist-stretch coupling constant) of the so-called 30-nm chromatin fiber, in terms of DNA elastic properties and geometric properties of the fiber assembly. The computation naturally embeds the fiber within a current analytical model known as the ``extensible worm-like rope'', allowing a straightforward prediction of the force-extension curves. We show that these elastic constants are strongly sensitive to the linker length, up to 1 bp, or equivalently to its twist, and might locally reach very low values, yielding a highly flexible and extensible domain in the fiber. In particular, the twist-stretch coupling constant, reflecting the chirality of the chromatin fiber, exhibits steep variations and sign changes when the linker length is varied. We argue that this tunable elasticity might be a key feature for chromatin function, for instance in the initiation and regulation of transcription.

description: The paper covers the issues of a basic social need, namely alimentation. The aim of the research is to evaluate the energetic food self-sufficiency and its changes in the European Union countries. The research has been conducted using the author’s methodology basing on the amount of energy produced and consumed in 1990-2009. The analyses proved that within the considered period, the European Union became an importer of net energy comprised in agricultural products. The excess in produced energy was mainly observed by the countries of European lowland. Moreover in most of the countries, a decrease in the analyzed factor was observed when compared with the 1990-1999 period. On the other hand, in relation to the new member states the increase in food energetic self-sufficiency was observed. The conclusion has been drawn that, while the general food self-sufficiency is mainly determined by environmental factors, its dynamics is primarily influenced by the factors connected with agricultural policy.

description: The theory of semiparametric estimation offers an elegant way of computing the Cramér-Rao bound for a parameter of interest in the midst of infinitely many nuisance parameters. Here I apply the theory to the problem of moment estimation for incoherent imaging under the effects of diffraction and photon shot noise. Using a Hilbert-space formalism designed for Poisson processes, I derive exact semiparametric Cramér-Rao bounds and efficient estimators for both direct imaging and a quantum-inspired measurement method called spatial-mode demultiplexing (SPADE). The results establish the superiority of SPADE even when little prior information about the object is available.

description: This aim of the article was to provide a multi-faceted presentation of the possibilities of aplication the concept of "safety net" in agriculture in the United States and Canada. Literature review, elements of heuristic methods, and the documentaty method- in comparative terms - were used. . The theoretical basis of the concept of safety nets in agriculture refer to the achievements earned by many schools and streams in economics and finance. An in-depth analysis is based on an "eclectic" and interdisciplinary approach. In practice, the "architecture" of safety nets in agriculture in the U.S. and Canada is quite complex and is based on relationships between the individual components. The role of risk management systems for agriculture will be strengthened.

description: One of the greatest challenges of 21st century is satisfying the food needs of the fast growing population of the world. Food must fulfill quality and safety standards. The access to safe and appropriate food is not the same everywhere. Food excess and, in consequence, food waste is present in many regions of the world. This study is meant to explain the causes of food waste on the basis of the author’s own research and study results of other scientists. The lack of authenticity and falsification belong to the new factors endangering food safety and food waste related thereto. This analysis proves that the authenticity of food improves its safety through the implementation of quality management systems, the appropriate system of food labelling and food identification by means of applicable law regulations, supervision and control systems. Main aim of this study is to address why, even though there are so many quality standards and systems, a significant problem with food loss and waste constantly occurs. Waste-causing factors have been determined on the example of bread and the handling of unconsumed bread has been attempted in this study. Waste limiting actions are necessary as food production is significantly overburdening the natural environment and generating increasing amount of waste, hazardous to the clean air.

Cornufer papuensis

description: Cornufer papuensis (Meyer, 1874)
(Fig. 35)
 Type locality. “Mysore” [= Biak Island], Indonesia.
 Distribution in the Kei Islands. Our expedition and the WAM expedition found this species only on Kei Besar.
 Natural history. Cornufer papuensis was found largely associated with stream systems on Kei Besar near Gunung Daab. Like all Ceratobatrachids, it lays eggs in damp areas that develop directly into froglets, forgoing the larval lifestage entirely (Menzies, 1976). These frogs were abundant on the stream bank of the creek (Fig. 3) coming off the west side of Gunung Daab at night, much as Limnonectes fanged frogs are in Sulawesi and the rest of Indonesia.
 Field identification. This is the only amphibian known from the Kei islands with long digits on the hindfoot with no more than a slight trace of webbing. First finger longer than second; SVL to 46 mm (males) and 64 mm (females) (Zweifel et al., 1969). Colour patchy grey-brown to black, with small skin folds.

description: Hybrid coordination systems (marketing cooperatives and contracts) are in place in agriculture to link smallholder farmers to the global agri-food value chains. With the framework of transaction cost economics, this study, however, is particularly designed to investigate the key determinants pushing dairy farmers to hybrids (marketing cooperatives and contracts), viz. spot market channels in the local food chains. A household survey of 415 smallholder dairy farmers was designed. Data collection was administered using trained enumerators. A multinomial logistic regression model was employed to analyze data and to identify the signifi cant determinants. The results indicate that high transaction costs and resource constraints were found driving farmers to cooperative engagement and contracts, implying that hybrids were found to be a solution to farmers’ constraints of access to information and institutional absence, as well as resource constraints. Policy makers and development partners are advised to strengthen cooperative societies and contract enforcement mechanisms. Providing information and resources to increase smallholders’ capacity with resources appear to be interventions which will enable the agricultural marketing system to properly function by serving smallholders in linking to the global food chains.

description: Purpose: The function of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNA) in breast cancer metastasis remains largely unknown. In this work, the role of HOXC-AS3 in breast cancer progression was investigated. Methods: By using Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) Database, we investigated the expression of HOXC-AS3 in breast cancer and explored the association between HOXC-AS3 expression and prognosis. Then, we studied the biological function of HOXC-AS3 in cell migration and invasion both in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, the target miRNA of HOXC-AS3, and the target mRNA of miR-3922-5p were proved. Results: HOXC-AS3 is aberrantly overexpressed in breast cancers especially the HER2+type. Moreover, high expression of HOXC-AS3 has a relationship with poor clinical outcomes of breast cancer. In addition, HOXC-AS3 regulates cell Invasion and migration both in vitro and in vivo. Our results demonstrated that miR-3922-5p was a direct target of HOXC-AS3, and PPP1R1A was a target of miR-3922-5p in breast cancer. Conclusions: The novel lncRNA HOXC-AS3 acts as a miR-3922-5p sponge to upregulate PPP1R1A protein expression, and thus results in promoting breast cancer metastasis. HOXC-AS3 could be a novel therapeutic target for breast cancer therapeutics.

This brief seeks to address the following questions: • How does the diversity of families and homes challenge our mental representations of “family” and “home”? • What does it take to embed the practice of TIME in the routine of the home? • What can we learn from caregivers’ experiences with TIME at home, which could help improve the frequency and the quality of families’ engagement? Reviewing the stories of a few families under a dynamic lens, the brief discusses how home circumstances such as family configurations, poverty, working hours, multilingualism, influence the levels of caregiver engagement with the TIME programme, and draws a typology of caregiver engagement.

description: The signifi cance of rural poverty is underscored by the fact that a high percentage of the national population resides in the rural areas, is poor, and dependent on agriculture. The aim of this study is therefore to analyse the determinants of poverty status among cassava growing households in Oyo State, Nigeria. The specifi c objectives were to describe the socio-economic characteristics of the respondents, analyse the determinants of poverty status among the respondents, and examine the poverty profi le of the respondents based on their income class. Descriptive statistics, Probit Regression analysis and Foster-Greer-Thorbecke (FGT) poverty measures were used to analyse the objectives, respectively. The result shows that number of years spent in school, household size and household assets were found to be the signifi cant determinants of the poverty status of the respondents. Household size had a negative eff ect on the household’s poverty status, while household assets and years of schooling had positive eff ects on status. The results of the FGT measures show that poverty incidence, depth and severity are higher in the low-income class than in the high-income class. In conclusion, farmers who are members of larger households, those with little or no formal education and those with minimal assets were poorer than others. It is therefore recommended that a family-planning campaign and farmers’ educational programs should be intensifi ed in the study area.
The r-process nucleosynthesis in the outflows from short GRB accretion disks

description: Short gamma-ray bursts require a rotating black hole, surrounded by a magnetized relativistic accretion disk, such as the one formed by coalescing binary neutron stars or neutron star - black hole systems. The accretion onto a Kerr black hole is the mechanism of launching a baryon-free relativistic jet. An additional uncollimated outflow, consisting of sub-relativistic neutron-rich material which becomes unbound by thermal, magnetic and viscous forces, is responsible for blue and red kilonova. We explore the formation, composition and geometry of the secondary outflow by means of simulating accretion disks with relativistic magneto-hydrodynamics and employing realistic nuclear equation of state. We calculate the nucleosynthetic r-process yields by sampling the outflow with a dense set of tracer particles. Nuclear heating from the residual r-process radioactivities in the freshly synthesized nuclei is expected to power a red kilonova, contributing independently from the dynamical ejecta component, launched at the time of merger, and neutron-poor broad polar outflow, launched from the surface of the hypermassive neutron star by neutrino wind. Our simulations show that both magnetisation of the disk and high black hole spin are able to launch fast wind outflows ($v/c\sim 0.11-0.23$) with a broad range of electron fraction $Y_{\rm e}\sim 0.1-0.4$, and help explain the multiple components observed in the kilonova lightcurves. The total mass loss from the post-merger disk via unbound outflows is between 2\% and 17\% of the initial disk mass.

description: Organic agriculture has established a foothold in many U.S. farm sectors, particularly among horticultural specialties, but the overall use of organic practices lags behind that of many other countries. Recent data from several producer surveys illustrate notable differences and similarities between organic and conventional farmers. Emerging issues in the organic sector include dampened consumer demand resulting from the weaker U.S. economy and potential competition from new labels like the “locally grown” label.

description: Experimental studies of the thermal denaturation of DNA yield a strong indication that the transition is first order. This transition has been theoretically studied since the early sixties, mostly within an approach in which the microscopic configurations of a DNA molecule are given by an alternating sequence of non-interacting bound segments and denaturated loops. Studies of these models neglect the repulsive, self-avoiding, interaction between different loops and segments and have invariably yielded continuous denaturation transitions. In this study we exploit recent results on scaling properties of polymer networks of arbitrary topology in order to take into account the excluded-volume interaction between denaturated loops and the rest of the chain. We thus obtain a first-order phase transition in d=2 dimensions and above, in agreement with experiments. We also consider within our approach the unzipping transition, which takes place when the two DNA strands are pulled apart by an external force acting on one end. We find that the unzipping transition is also first order. Although the denaturation and unzipping transitions are thermodynamically first order, they do exhibit critical fluctuations in some of their properties. For instance, the loop size distribution decays algebraically at the transition and the length of the denaturated end segment diverges as the transition is approached. We evaluate these critical properties within our approach.

description: This paper estimates the value of water rights in the Phoenix Active Management Area (AMA), Arizona. Within AMAs groundwater rights cannot be transferred separately from the agricultural land to which they apply. As a result there is no separate market for ground water rights. The lack of a market creates two problems: there is no direct signal of the scarcity of water and no mechanism for reallocating water from low-to-high value uses. Water can only be reallocated by changing land use. With the growth of metropolitan Phoenix the value of water committed to residential, commercial or industrial use has increased rapidly relative to the value of water committed to agriculture. This has led to the reallocation of land from agriculture to urban uses. To estimate the implied value of the water right we used the hedonic price method to explore the impact of water rights on property values using 391 agricultural land transactions that occurred between 2001 and 2010. We tested two main hypothesis that (1) the marginal willingness to pay (MWTP) for water rights is higher in more developed urban areas than it is in undeveloped rural areas, and that (2) that the MWTP for water rights in urban areas varies across cities. We found the MWTP for water rights to be highest among properties in urbanized or urbanizing areas where a large proportion of the land has already been developed. Additionally, we found that the MWTP for water rights varies significantly across cities within Maricopa County.

description: We report a detailed analysis of the optical properties of single wall carbon nanotubes with different mean diameters as produced by laser ablation. From a combined study of optical absorption, high resolution electron energy-loss spectroscopy in transmission and tight binding calculations we were able to accurately determine the mean diameter and diameter distribution in bulk SWCNT samples. In general, the absorption response can be well described assuming a Gaussian distribution of nanotube diameters and the predicted inverse proportionality between the nanotube diameter and the energy of the absorption features. A detailed simulation enabled not only a determination of the mean diameter of the nanotubes, but also gives insight into the chirality distribution of the nanotubes. The best agreement between the simulation and experiment is observed when only nanotubes within 15$^\circ$ of the armchair axis are considered. The mean diameters and diameter distributions from the optical simulations are in very good agreement with the values derived from other bulk sensitive methods such as electron diffraction, x-ray diffraction and Raman scattering.
