description: We report on a simulational study of the compression and buckling of elastic ridges formed by joining the boundary of a flat sheet to itself. Such ridges store energy anomalously: their resting energy scales as the linear size of the sheet to the 1/3 power. We find that the energy required to buckle such a ridge is a fixed multiple of the resting energy. Thus thin sheets with elastic ridges such as crumpled sheets are qualitatively stronger than smoothly bent sheets.

description: We extend Brander-Taylor's model of development on Easter Island by adding a resource subsistence requirement to people's preferences, and a conservation incentive in the form of a revenue-neutral, ad valorem tax on resource consumption. Adding subsistence improves plausibility; makes overshoot and collapse of population more extreme, and the steady state less stable; and allows for the possibility that statue building and erection will suddenly stop, in line with the archaeological evidence. We explore a tax rate path which could have almost completely prevented overshoot, and conjecture that the overall strength of this path must rise when the subsistence level rises.

description: Herein, two different biologically active moieties; 2-carbaldehyde thiophene and salicylic acid hydrazide were simply combined to produce ((E)-2-hydroxy-N/-((thiophen-2-yl)methylene)benzohydrazide) (H2L). This hybrid ligand was used for synthesis of four lanthanide complexes (Ln3+ = Sm3+, Eu3+, Dy3+ and La3+) as novel potential biological agents. Sequentially, the coordination behavior of lanthanide ions with a dianionic tetradentate hydrazone ligand (OONS donation sites) was examined. The lanthanide complexes were characterized on the basis of FT-IR, 1H-NMR and mass spectrometry as well as elemental and thermal analyses and molar conductivity. The complexes were screened for in vitro antibacterial and antifungal activity against the multidrug resistant pathogens, such as Klebsiella pneumonia, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans. The antimicrobial results revealed that La3+ complex has a good potency against different gram positive and gram negative bacteria in comparision with different series of standard drugs. On other hand, Dy3+ complex demonstrate a noticeable antifungal activity against C. albican. All lanthanide complexes showed a moderate antioxidant activity with IC50 (0.5 mM) except La3+ complex. Also, in vitro cytotoxic and growth inhibitory activities against Erlish Acities Carcinoma for all produced complexes were determined. The highest degree of cytotoxicity (IC50 = 50 μM) was obtained in case of Sm3+ complex.

description: Making farm decisions is difficult, especially making decisions about selling and pricing wheat in deregulated supply chains. This study, conducted prior to export deregulation, sought to identify which factors were important to northern New South Wales (NSW) wheat growers when they were making decisions about wheat selling and price risk, under production and market uncertainty. Key questions were about how they make these decisions and the implications, particularly for larger-sized farmers, merchants, end-users, bankers, advisors and trainers. The research aim was to test the behaviour of users and non-users of five selling methods and six pricing-hedging strategies against eighteen management and seventeen risk attitude-adoption questions. The findings from this research will assist understanding of farmer decision-making. Information about growers’ decision processes on wheat selling and pricing will be helpful to supply chain intermediaries and service personnel in improving the targeting and alignment of growers. More research is required on the cross-usage of different selling-pricing methods, the interdependence between discretionary costs of production and selling-pricing decisions, how speculative storage compares with on-farm rental storage of pre-sold product that integrates the farmer with the supply chain, and how speculative storage affects cash flow and debt.

Stability Analysis of Rapid Granular Chute Flows: Formation of Longitudinal Vortices

Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In a recent article (Forterre, PRL, 2001), we have reported a new instability observed in rapid granular flows down inclined planes that leads to the spontaneous formation of longitudinal vortices. From the experimental observations, we have proposed an instability mechanism based on the coupling between the flow and the granular temperature in rapid granular flows. In order to investigate the relevance of the proposed mechanism, we perform in the present paper a three-dimensional linear stability analysis of steady uniform flows down inclined planes using the kinetic theory of granular flows. We show that in a wide range of parameters, steady uniform flows are unstable under transverse perturbations. The structure of the unstable modes are in qualitative agreement with the experimental observations. This theoretical analysis shows that the kinetic theory is able to capture the formation of longitudinal vortices and validates the instability mechanism.

description: We have applied the momentum space version of the Density Matrix Renormalization Group method ($k$-DMRG) in quantum chemistry in order to study the accuracy of the algorithm in the new context. We have shown numerically that it is possible to determine the desired accuracy of the method in advance of the calculations by dynamically controlling the truncation error and the number of block states using a novel protocol which we dubbed Dynamical Block State Selection (DBSS). The relationship between the real error and truncation error has been studied as a function of the number of orbitals and the fraction of filled orbitals. We have calculated the ground state of the molecules CH$_2$, H$_2$O, and F$_2$ as well as the first excited state of CH$_2$. Our largest calculations were carried out with 57 orbitals, the largest number of block states was 1500--2000, and the largest dimensions of the Hilbert space of the superblock configuration was 800.000--1.200.000.

description: Four dendrimeric hexa- or nona-dentate Schiff base ligands based on triazine structure and several lithium and vanadium(IV) complexes with these ligands were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, 1H NMR and IR spectra. The synthetic methods are described, and we paid special attention to the need to use a co-ligand (in case of vanadium complexes) to prevent the creation of polynuclear systems. All complexes belong to a small group of compounds with dendrimeric Schiff base ligands.

description: Meat and Livestock Australia and the Cooperative Research Centre for Cattle and Meat Quality funded a major R&D program in the mid 1990s to investigate the relationships between observable beef and cattle characteristics, cooking methods and consumer appreciation of beef palatability. Out of this R&D program grew the Meat Standards Australia (MSA) voluntary meat grading system which was aimed primarily at providing an accurate prediction of beef eating quality for the domestic market. The MSA system commenced operations in 1999/2000. The gross benefits associated with using the MSA system were quantified by using data on the number of carcases graded and certified, a survey of retailers and wholesalers based on prices for MSA graded beef (3 star or better) versus ungraded beef, and market reports of prices paid for MSA quality cattle versus non-MSA quality cattle. Over the period 2004/05 to 2010/11, beef consumers across Australia were prepared to pay on average $0.30/kg extra for MSA branded beef on a carcass weight equivalent basis to guarantee tenderness. This beef is primarily sold through independent butcher shops, although one of the major supermarket chains has now started selling MSA branded beef. The retailers kept about $0.06/kg and paid their wholesale suppliers the remaining $0.24/kg to source MSA compliant cattle and MSA graded carcasses. About $0.13/kg was passed back to cattle producers on average. The cumulative retail-level economic benefit of the MSA system to 2010/11 is estimated to be around $523 million, with a current annual benefit of around $77 million over the past three years. After accounting for all the costs of development and implementation, net benefits are at least $200 million.

description: We calculate line shapes of correlation functions by use of complete diagonalization data of finite chains and analytical implications from conformal field theory, density of states, and Bethe ansatz. The numerical data have different finite size accuracy in case of the imaginary and real parts in the frequency and time representations of spin-correlation functions, respectively. The low temperature, conformally invariant regime crosses over at $T^*\approx 0.7J$ to a diffusive regime that in turn connects continuously to the high temperature, interacting fermion regime. The first moment sum rule is determined.

description: The literature on commercial transformation of smallholders makes little distinction between market orientation and market participation. This paper analyzes the determinants of market orientation and market participation in Ethiopia separately and examines if market orientation translates into market participation. Results show that subsistence requirements, market access, and production factors affect market orientation, while market access and volume of production affect market participation. Results also show that market orientation translates strongly into market participation. The key implication of this study is that interventions aimed at promoting commercial transformation of subsistence agriculture should follow two-pronged approach: improving market orientation of smallholders at production level, and facilitation of market entry and participation of households in output markets. Focusing on either may not be as effective in achieving the transformation. Keywords: commercialization, smallholders, market orientation, market participation.

description: In many countries, the authorities turn a blind eye to minimum wage laws that they have themselves passed. But if they are not going to enforce a minimum wage, why have one? Or if a high minimum wage is not going to be enforced one hundred percent, why not have a lower one in the first place? Can economists make sense of such phenomena? This paper argues that we can, if a high official minimum wage acts as a credible signal of commitment to stronger enforcement of minimum wage laws. We demonstrate this as an equilibrium phenomenon in a model of a monopsonistic labor market in which enforcement is costly, and the government cannot pre-commit to enforcement intensity. In this setting we also demonstrate the paradoxical result that a government whose objective function gives greater weight to efficiency relative to distributional concerns may end up with an outcome that is less efficient. We conclude by suggesting that the explanations offered in this paper may apply to a broad range of phenomena where regulations are imperfectly enforced.

description: We propose in this paper a scenario of spontaneous baryogenesis in cosmological models of Quintessence by introducing a derivative coupling of the Quintessence scalar $Q$ to the baryon current $J_B^μ$ or the current of the baryon number minus lepton number $J_{B-L}^μ$. We find that with a dimension-5 operator ${\partial_μQ} J_{B-L}^μ$ suppressed by the Planck mass $M_{pl}$ or the Grand Unification Scale $M_{GUT}$, baryon number asymmetry $n_B/s \sim 10^{-10}$ can be naturally explained {\it via} leptogenesis. We study also the isocurvature baryon number fluctuation generated in our model.

description: A primary aim of deregulation is to reduce the customer cost of electricity. In this paper, we examine the degree of success in reaching that goal using a variety of methods. We examine rates for each of four customer classes; for regulated, deregulated and publicly owned utilities; and for three definitions of deregulation. We control for a variety of factors which may independently affect differences in electricity price: climate, fuel costs, and electricity generation by energy source. Taken as a whole, the results from our analysis do not support a conclusion that deregulation has led to lower electricity rates.

description: The equation of state provided by effective models of strongly interacting matter should comply with the restrictions imposed by current astrophysical observations of compact stars. Using the equation of state given by the (axial-)vector meson extended linear sigma model, we determine the mass-radius relation and study whether these restrictions are satisfied under the assumption that most of the star is filled with quark matter. We also compare the mass-radius sequence with those given by the equations of state of somewhat simpler models.

description: Red Seabream is a valuable fish resource for ports in Southern Spain. It is critical that this fishery be well managed to ensure a sustainable and viable commercial fishery into the future, which recent fishing regulations should accomplish. Fish stocks appear to be increasing. We use Data Envelopment Analysis and Stochastic Frontier Analysis techniques to estimate the impact of recovering fish stocks on fishing output. Since imposed fishing regulations to protect the fishery essentially have halted technological progress in the fleet, we alter the standard Malmquist decomposition of efficiency and technological change instead into efficiency and the impact of fishing stock change. We find that over the 3 year period of 1999 through 2001, increase in fishing stocks lead to a 2.05 annual percent increase in fishing output by DEA computations, and 2.70 annual percent increase by SFA computations

description: We develop a method allowing us to reconstruct individual tastes of customers from a sparsely connected network of their opinions on products, services, or each other. Two distinct phase transitions occur as the density of edges in this network is increased: above the first - macroscopic prediction of tastes becomes possible, while above the second - all unknown opinions can be uniquely reconstructed. We illustrate our ideas using a simple Gaussian model, which we study using both field-theoretical methods and numerical simulations. We point out a potential relevance of our approach to the field of bioinformatics.

Real-time spectral analysis of ultrafast pulses using a free-space angular chirp enhanced delay

description: Frequency to time mapping is a powerful technique for observing ultrafast phenomena and non-repetitive events in optics. However, many optical sources operate in wavelength regions, or at power levels, that are not compatible with standard frequency to time mapping implementations. The recently developed free-space angular chirp enhanced delay (FACED) removes many of these limitations, and offers a linear frequency to time mapping in any wavelength region where high-reflectivity mirrors and diffractive optics are available. In this work, we present a detailed formulation of the optical transfer function of a FACED device. Experimentally, we verify the properties of this transfer function, and then present simple guidelines to guarantee the correct operation of a FACED frequency to time measurement. We also experimentally demonstrate the real-time spectral analysis of femtosecond and picosecond pulses using this system.

description: Despite the widespread diffusion of nonlinear methods for heart rate variability (HRV) analysis, the presence and the extent to which nonlinear dynamics contribute to short-term HRV is still controversial. This work aims at testing the hypothesis that different types of nonlinearity can be observed in HRV depending on the method adopted and on the physiopathological state. Two entropy-based measures of time series complexity (normalized complexity index, NCI) and regularity (information storage, IS), and a measure quantifying deviations from linear correlations in a time series (Gaussian linear contrast, GLC), are applied to short HRV recordings obtained in young (Y) and old (O) healthy subjects and in myocardial infarction (MI) patients monitored in the resting supine position and in the upright position reached through head-up tilt. The method of surrogate data is employed to detect the presence of and quantify the contribution of nonlinear dynamics to HRV. We find that the three measures differ both in their variations across groups and conditions and in the number and strength of nonlinear HRV dynamics detected: at rest, IS reveals a significantly lower number of nonlinear dynamics in Y, whereas during tilt GLC reveals significantly stronger nonlinear HRV dynamics in MI; in the transition from rest to tilt, all measures detect a significant weakening of nonlinear HRV dynamics in Y, while only GLC detects a significant strengthening of such dynamics in MI. These results suggest that distinct dynamic structures, detected with different sensitivity by nonlinear measures, lie beneath short-term HRV in different physiological states and pathological conditions.

description: The sound speed is a key parameter that affects the underwater acoustic positioning and navigation. Aiming at the high-precision construction of sound speed field in the complex marine environment, this paper proposes a sound speed field model based on back propagation neural network (BPNN) by considering the correlation of learning samples. The method firstly uses measured ocean parameters to construct the temperature and salinity field. Then the spatial position, the temperature and the salinity information are used to construct the global ocean sound speed field based on the back propagation neural network algorithm. During the processing, the learning samples of back propagation neural network are selected based on the correlation between sound speed and distance. The proposed algorithm is validated by the global Argo data as well as compared with the spatial interpolation and the empirical orthogonal function (EOF) algorithm. The results demonstrate that the average root mean squares of the BPNN considering the correlation of learning samples is 0.352 m/s compared to the 1.527 m/s of EOF construction and the 2.661 m/s of spatial interpolation, with an improvement of 76.9% and 86.8%. Therefore, the proposed algorithm can improve the construction accuracy of sound speed field in the complex marine environment.

description: Descriptive statistics and time-series econometric models are used to characterize the behavior of monthly fluid milk prices. Prices in April, May and June appear to be more variable than those in subsequent months, and the spring-time prices are perhaps skewed. Econometric models can capture the historical behavior of spot prices, but forecasts converge to the marginal distribution of the sample prices in about six months. Futures prices for Class III milk have the expected time-to-maturity effect and converge to the respective monthly distributions of the cash prices at contract maturity (as they must, since the contracts are cash settled). Thus, econometric models and futures quotes provide similar information about price behavior at contract maturity. Routine hedges in futures, especially those made four or more months prior to maturity, reduce the variance of returns, but over a period of years, lock-in an "average" return. While econometric models and futures quotes provide imprecise forecasts, they can be used in conjunction with historical data to determine whether expected prices are high relative to past experience. This may assist with making decisions about selective hedging. Likewise, historical evidence may be useful in evaluating expected returns from the use of put options. Results from simple hedging strategies using either futures or puts are illustrated, but more work is needed to evaluate "optimal" portfolios for dairy farmers.
