description: This paper assessed the economic impact of improved agricultural technologies on cassava productivity in Kogi State, Nigeria. The results are drawn from a household survey covering the agricultural season of 2009/2010. The data obtained from interview schedule was subjected to descriptive and inferential statistical analysis. Descriptive statistics for this study include frequency, percentages and means. The hypothesis was tested using chi- square. The result shows that 79.33% of the respondents adopt the use of improved variety within the period under study. The analysis done on the revenue of the respondents before and after the adoption of the improved agricultural technology shows that revenue of farmers after the adoption of innovations are better off than revenue generated before adoption by N27,750 on the average per farmer. This result shows that the impact of improved agricultural technologies on cassava productivity is positive. Additionally, the results attest to the importance of increasing agricultural productivity in tandem with improvements on the adoption and use of improved agricultural technologies and its availability to the reach of farmers with the farmers’ ability to store food. This findings is consistence with Idachaba and Ayoola, (1995) who observed that improved agricultural helped in increasing agricultural productivity.

description: The study was carried out to evaluate how farmers in Kyuso District have perceived and adapted to climate change. Data was collected from 246 farmers from six locations sampled out through a multistage and simple random sampling procedure. The Heckman probit model was fitted to the data to avoid sample selection bias since not every farmer who may perceive climate change responds by adapting. The analysis revealed that 94% of farmers in Kyuso District had a perception that climate was changing and as a result, 85% of these farmers had responded by adapting. In this regard, age of the household head, gender, education, farm experience, household size, distance to the nearest market, access to irrigation water, local agro-ecology, on and off farm income, access to information on climate change through extension services, access to credit, changes in temperature and precipitation were found to have significant influence on the probability of farmers to perceive and/or adapt to climate change. With the level of perception to climate change being more than that of adaptation, the study suggests that more policy efforts should be geared towards helping farmers to adapt to climate change.

description: Tracking of gamma-ray interactions in germanium detectors can allow reconstruction of the photon paths, and is useful for many applications. Scrutiny of the kinematics and geometry of gamma rays which are Compton scattered only once prior to full absorption reveals that there are cases where even perfect spatial and energy resolution cannot resolve the true interaction sequence and consequently gamma-ray tracks cannot be reconstructed. The photon energy range where this ambiguity exists is from 255 keV to around 700 keV. This is a region of importance for nuclear structure research where two-point interactions are probable.

Soil seed banks, heterogeneity, and plant community assembly following disturbance by fire and logging in Interior Douglas-fir forests
Creators: name: Stark, Kaeli Elizabeth
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Soil seed banks and establishing plant communities were examined in Interior Douglasfir forests within the first year following low severity fire, high severity fire, and logging, as well as on five-year-old burned sites and ten-year-old logged sites, and undisturbed sites in the vicinity. The effects of different types of disturbance on the regenerative potential and spatial structure of forest plant communities were compared using univariate and multivariate analytical methods. On the one-year-old severely burned sites, the species composition of the seed bank and establishing vegetation were similar because a high proportion of the establishing vegetation of was of seed origin; however, differences between seed bank and vegetation species composition were detected for the one-year-old lightly burned and logged sites, and the undisturbed reference sites. Whereas the frequency of seed-origin plants in the establishing vegetation decreased in the order lightly burned > severely burned > logged, the frequency of root-derived plants did not differ across disturbance types. The low frequency of seed-derived plants, particularly conifer seedlings, on logged sites poses concerns for the initial recovery of vegetation following logging; nonetheless, the lack of significant differences in species composition between five-year-old burned sites, ten-year-old logged sites and their corresponding undisturbed sites suggests that vegetation recovery occurs with time. Considerable spatial variation in seed bank and vegetation species composition occurred both among and within the one-year-old sites. In general, disturbed sites exhibited less among-site heterogeneity than undisturbed sites, likely because of homogenizing, post-disturbance seed rain events; however, within-site variability in seed bank species assemblages was greatest on severely burned and logged sites. Species-area curves and jackknife estimates indicated that 63- 83% of species actually present were detected in seed bank sampling. The results presented in this thesis provide forest managers with deeper insights into the interaction between disturbance and re-vegetation processes in Interior Douglas-fir forests.

description: Vor dem Hintergrund eines steigenden Außer-Haus-Verzehrs gibt der Beitrag interessante Einblicke in die Preisgestaltung im Food-Service-Bereich auf Basis eines eigens erhobenen Querschnittsdatensatzes. Be­sonderes Augenmerk liegt dabei auf bequemen Transaktionspreisen, welche nach Knotek (2011) durch die geringere Anzahl benötigter Geldeinheiten den Kaufprozess verein­fachen. Die empirische Analyse bestätigt, dass im Food-Service-Sektor glatte Preise, die auf einen vollen Eurobetrag enden, sowie runde Preisstellungen dominieren. Einzige Ausnahme stellen Selbstbedienungsrestaurants dar, die verstärkt gebrochene Preise nutzen und bei denen im Vergleich zu einer Imbissbude folglich mindestens eine Geldeinheit pro Transaktion mehr benötigt werden würde.

Die Ergebnisse linearer und asymmetrischer Fehler-Korrektur-Modelle belegen, dass sich insbesondere Preisrückgänge in Nordrhein-Westfalen zügig auf die Notierungen in anderen Bundesländern auswirken, wobei die Geschwindigkeit der Preisanpassung mit zunehmender Entfernung sinkt. Das Fleisch von Schlachtsauen findet überwiegend in der industriellen Wurstherstellung Verwendung und steht in gewissem Maße als Substitut für Verarbeitungsteilstücke herkömmlicher Mastschweine zur Verfügung, sodass der Erzeugerpreis für Mastschweine den Erzeugerpreis für Schlachtsauen beeinflusst. Bei fallenden Mastschweinepreisen passt sich der Schlachtsauenpreis schneller an, damit das Schlachtsauenfleisch in der Wurstwarenherstellung nicht durch relativ günstiger werdendes Mastschweinefleisch ersetzt wird.
Realistic Neutrino Masses from Multi-brane Extensions of the Randall-Sundrum Model?

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Scenarios based on the existence of large or warped (Randall-Sundrum model) extra dimensions have been proposed for addressing the long standing puzzle of gauge hierarchy problem. Within the contexts of both those scenarios, a novel and original type of mechanism generating small (Dirac) neutrino masses, which relies on the presence of additional right-handed neutrinos that propagate in the bulk, has arisen. The main objective of the present study is to determine whether this geometrical mechanism can produce reasonable neutrino masses also in the interesting multi-brane extensions of the Randall-Sundrum model. We demonstrate that, in some multi-brane extensions, neutrino masses in agreement with all relevant experimental bounds can indeed be generated but at the price of a constraint (stronger than the existing ones) on the bulk geometry, and that the other multi-brane models even conflict with those experimental bounds.

Die Farmspezialisierungsänderungen sind als Veränderungen der Standardbruttogewinnanteile (Standard Gross Margin (SGM) shares) erfasst. Das Modell nutzt FADN-Daten deutscher Landwirtschaftsbetriebe für die Jahre 1989 bis 2007. Zwei MCI-Modelle wurden entwickelt. Das erste Modell nutzt verzögerte Standardbruttogewinnanteile als erklärende Variablen, das zweite Modell zusätzlich weitere erklärende Variablen, welche mithilfe einer Backward-Elimination ermittelt wurden. Der Erklärungsgehalt des Modells mit zusätzlichen erklärenden Variablen verbesserte sich mäßig.

description: We study the appearance of bound states in the spin gap of spin-1/2 ladders induced by weak bond disorder. Starting from the strong-coupling limit, i.e., the limit of weakly coupled dimers, we perform a projection on the single-triplet subspace and derive the position of bound states for the single impurity problem of one modified coupling as well as for small impurity clusters. The case of a finite concentration of impurities is treated with the coherent-potential approximation in the strong-coupling limit and compared with numerical results. Furthermore, we analyze the details in the structure of the density of states and relate their origin to the influence of impurity clusters.

description: Layered van-der-Waals 2D magnetic materials are of great interest in fundamental condensed-matter physics research, as well as for potential applications in spintronics and device physics. We present neutron powder diffraction data using new ultra-high-pressure techniques to measure the magnetic structure of Mott-insulating 2D honeycomb antiferromagnet FePS$_3$ at pressures up to 183 kbar and temperatures down to 80 K. These data are complemented by high-pressure magnetometry and reverse Monte Carlo modeling of the spin configurations. As pressure is applied, the previously-measured ambient-pressure magnetic order switches from an antiferromagnetic to a ferromagnetic interplanar interaction, and from 2D-like to 3D-like character. The overall antiferromagnetic structure within the $ab$ planes, ferromagnetic chains antiferromagnetically coupled, is preserved, but the magnetic propagation vector is altered from $(0\:1\:\frac{1}{2})$ to $(0\:1\:0)$, a halving of the magnetic unit cell size. At higher pressures, coincident with the second structural transition and the insulator-metal transition in this compound, we observe a suppression of this long-range-order and emergence of a form of magnetic short-range order which survives above room temperature. Reverse Monte Carlo fitting suggests this phase to be a short-ranged version of the original ambient pressure structure - with a return to antiferromagnetic interplanar correlations. The persistence of magnetism well into the HP-II metallic state is an observation in seeming contradiction with previous x-ray spectroscopy results which suggest a spin-crossover transition.

description: In the last few years, efforts have been made to modify agricultural support policies in order to minimize the distortive impacts on product level and on international trade. Emphasis has been given to decoupled payments, considered neutral to current production decisions. The main argument is that such payments do not influence the crop marginal returns because they are not based on current production. This article shows, however, that current production decisions are influenced by decoupled payments through direct impacts on risk perception by farmers. These effects, classified as income effect and insurance effect, stimulate the increase in planted area and, therefore, have impacts on production and price levels.
Enforcing justice : the influence of norms on the efficacy of international criminal tribunals
Creators: name: Stankovic, Azurondel
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The increase in the creation of International Criminal Tribunals (ICTs) in recent years has spawned a growing literature regarding the use of such tribunals in situations of violent conflict. This literature is divided between proponents of the use of ICTs as a means to secure the resolution of conflict through the upholding norms of justice and holding the actors in a conflict accused of committing war crimes accountable for these actions, and sceptics who question the use of tribunals in the wake of the realities of violent conflict. However, despite the divide between the two sides, both adopt an argument that regards norms and interest as mutually exclusive independent variables. I argue that the tendency to separate norms and interest does not provide a full analysis of the functioning of ICTs, and adopting a constructivist approach in which norms and interest are seen as complementary will provide a more complete understanding of the limited success achieved by such tribunals. Such a constructivist approach is applied to the case studies of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and the Special Court for Sierra Leone (SCSL), demonstrating how the larger normative context influences state action regarding implementing and enforcing ICTs, thus influencing a tribunal's ability to achieve success. These case studies reveal the contextual nature of the concept of state interest and the influence of norms that comprise this context.

Установлено, что перинатальное воздействие морфина на МДС у крыс вызывает атрофические изменения, набухание и гибель части нейронов, уменьшение объема и сморщивание остальных малоизмененных нейронов. Повреждение нейронов, более выраженное при пренатальном воздей¬ствии, сопровождается увеличением количества клеток микроглии и их фагоцитарной активности. Воздействие морфина не изменяет количество сателлитных макроглиоцитов и среднее расстояние между ними и телами жизнеспособных нейронов.

description: We examine the heat and charge transport of a driven topological superconductor. Our particular system of interest consists of a Y-junction of topological superconducting wires, hosting non-Abelian Majorana zero modes at their edges. The system is contacted to two leads which act as continuous detectors of the system state. We calculate, via a scattering matrix approach, the full counting statistics of the driven heat transport, between two terminals contacted to the system, for small adiabatic driving and characterise the energy transport properties as a function of the system parameters (driving frequency, temperature). We find that the geometric, dynamic contribution to the pumped heat statistics results in a correction to the Gallavotti-Cohen type fluctuation theorem for quantum heat transfer. Notably, the correction term to the fluctuation theorem extends to cycles which correspond to topologically protected braiding of the Majorana zero modes. This geometric correction to the fluctuation theorem differs from its analogs in previously studied systems in that (i) it is non-vanishing for adiabatic cycles of the system's parameters, without the need for cyclic driving of the leads and (ii) it is insensitive to small, slow fluctuations of the driving parameters due to the topological protection of the braiding operation.

It is important to know that the funds allocated to the program did improve the well-being of the favored families. For that, two federal land settlements of "Angicos" and "Boqueirão dos Cunhas" and state land settlement of "Buque/Poço Verde" were selected. A questionnaire containing economic, social, environmental and social capital variables was prepared to measure the sustainability of those settlements. The results built up a sustainability index based on an average of social economic development index, environmental index and social capital index. The value of sustainability index suggested that the three land settlements have a medium development level.

Results show that the employment absorption of sugar industry in Chongzuo City is stable and upward slightly, and shows strong employment effect; the sugar industry in Chongzuo is not only competitive, but also has a great share of market in employment, so it shows strong absorption of employment. The countermeasures for improving the employment level of resource-abundant and industrial cluster in southwest of Guangxi Province are put forward, including elongating industrial chain and widening employment space; strengthen various kinds of formal and informal training to improve the employment capability of laborers; laying stress on industrial structure and optimize the employment structure; strengthening the construction of the industrial economic zone towards ASEAN(Association of Southeast Asian Nations), and fully displaying the regional advantages of the offshore border.

Data were taken continuously during the acceleration and deceleration for proton kinetic energies T_{lab} (momenta p_{lab}) between 0.45 and 2.5 GeV (1.0 and 3.3 GeV/c) and scattering angles 30 deg < Theta_{c.m.} < 90 deg. The results provide excitation functions and angular distributions of high precision and internal consistency. The data can be used as calibration standard between 0.45 and 2.5 GeV. They have significant impact on phase shift solutions, in particular on the spin triplet phase shifts between 1.0 and 1.8 GeV.

description: In the perspective of local governmental competition, the impact of local governmental competition on farmland conversion is analyzed in terms of political competition, factors competition and products competition, and the empirical analysis is conducted according to the provincial data from 2002 to 2007. The results show that the endowment of land resources correlates negatively with the scale of farmland conversion, and the population, the tendency of exceeding capital investment and the competition of research and development input correlate positively with the scale of farmland conversion. According to these research results, corresponding policies and countermeasures are put forward: we should overhaul the system of performance evaluation of local governmental officials; we should normalize the local governmental competitive behavior.

description: We learn about the world from a diverse range of sensory information. Automated systems lack this ability as investigation has centred on processing information presented in a single form. Adapting architectures to learn from multiple modalities creates the potential to learn rich representations of the world - but current multimodal systems only deliver marginal improvements on unimodal approaches. Neural networks learn sampling noise during training with the result that performance on unseen data is degraded. This research introduces a second objective over the multimodal fusion process learned with variational inference. Regularisation methods are implemented in the inner training loop to control variance and the modular structure stabilises performance as additional neurons are added to layers. This framework is evaluated on a multilabel classification task with textual and visual inputs to demonstrate the potential for multiple objectives and probabilistic methods to lower variance and improve generalisation.

description: In this paper, we consider a light fidelity (LiFi)-enabled bidirectional Internet of Things (IoT) communication system, where visible light and infrared light are used in the downlink and uplink, respectively. In order to improve the energy efficiency (EE) of the bidirectional LiFi-IoT system, non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) with a quality-of-service (QoS)-guaranteed optimal power allocation (OPA) strategy is applied to maximize the EE of the system. We derive a closed-form OPA set based on the identification of the optimal decoding orders in both downlink and uplink channels, which can enable low-complexity power allocation. Moreover, we propose an adaptive channel and QoS-based user pairing approach by jointly considering users' channel gains and QoS requirements. We further analyze the EE of the bidirectional LiFi-IoT system and the user outage probabilities (UOPs) of both downlink and uplink channels of the system. Extensive analytical and simulation results demonstrate the superiority of NOMA with OPA in comparison to orthogonal multiple access (OMA) and NOMA with typical channel-based power allocation strategies. It is also shown that the proposed adaptive channel and QoS-based user pairing approach greatly outperforms individual channel/QoS-based approaches, especially when users have diverse QoS requirements.

description: We show that if $μ$ is an invariant measure for the long range exclusion process putting no mass on the full configuration, $L$ is the formal generator of that process and $f$ is a cylinder function, then $Lf\in\mathbf{L}^1(dμ)$ and $\int Lf dμ=0$. This result is then applied to determine (i) the set of invariant and translation-invariant measures of the long range exclusion process on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ when the underlying random walk is irreducible; (ii) the set of invariant measures of the long range exclusion process on $\mathbb{Z}$ when the underlying random walk is irreducible and either has zero mean or allows jumps only to the nearest-neighbors.

description: The Österreich forscht platform (www.citizen-science.at) was founded in 2014 with the aim of (1) networking citizen science stakeholders in Austria, (2) providing as comprehensive an overview as possible of citizen science projects in Austria, and (3) generally developing the citizen science methodology.

In 2017, on the initiative of the Österreich forscht platform, many institutions active in citizen science joined forces in the Citizen Science Network Austria and committed themselves to promoting the quality of citizen science in Austria (https://www.citizen-science.at/netzwerk). An important step in promoting quality was the establishment of transparent criteria that projects wishing to be listed on the Österreich forscht platform must fulfil. The aim of these criteria is to guarantee and further improve the quality of the projects presented on the platform. This catalogue is the third version (1.2) of the criteria; the previous versions are linked at the end of the preamble.

From March 2017 to February 2018, a working group of the Österreich forscht platform, consisting of representatives from 17 institutions, developed version 1.0 of the criteria, which enable a transparent evaluation of projects that want to be listed on Österreich forscht. In addition, the criteria should enable citizen scientists to make an informed decision about whether they want to participate in the project. Version 1.0 of the Quality Criteria was presented to the public at the 4th Austrian Citizen Science Conference (ÖCSK) from 1-3 February 2018. The Quality Criteria became valid on this date.

Suggestions for changes to the criteria were already made by participants at the 2018 ÖCSK, and were incorporated into version 1.1 by the working group immediately afterwards. Therefore, as of 13 October 2023, all projects on Österreich forscht comply with the quality criteria of version 1.1.

During the development of the quality criteria, it was decided that they would continue to be adapted as necessary to meet new challenges and developments. The version number of the criteria to which a project conforms can be found on the project page.

In version 1.2, in particular, the criteria for ethical aspects in citizen science projects have been adapted to current developments in 2024.

description: The regular structures obtained by optical lattice technology and their behaviour are analysed from the quantum information perspective. Initially, we demonstrate that a triangular optical lattice of two atomic species, bosonic or fermionic, can be employed to generate a variety of novel spin-1/2 models that include effective three-spin interactions. Such interactions can be employed to simulate specific one or two dimensional physical systems that are of particular interest for their condensed matter and entanglement properties. In particular, connections between the scaling behaviour of entanglement and the entanglement properties of closely spaced spins are drawn. Moreover, three-spin interactions are well suited to support quantum computing without the need to manipulate individual qubits. By employing Raman transitions or the interaction of the atomic electric dipole moment with magnetic field gradients, one can generate Hamiltonians that can be used for the physical implementation of geometrical or topological objects. This work serves as a review article that also includes many new results.

Stability Properties of Nonhyperbolic Chaotic Attractors under Noise

description: We study local and global stability of nonhyperbolic chaotic attractors contaminated by noise. The former is given by the maximum distance of a noisy trajectory from the noisefree attractor, while the latter is provided by the minimal escape energy necessary to leave the basin of attraction, calculated with the Hamiltonian theory of large fluctuations. We establish the important and counterintuitive result that both concepts may be opposed to each other. Even when one attractor is globally more stable than another one, it can be locally less stable. Our results are exemplified with the Holmes map, for two different sets of parameter, and with a juxtaposition of the Holmes and the Ikeda maps. Finally, the experimental relevance of these findings is pointed out.
