description: Whether the trends in natural resource prices are stochastic or deterministic remains a contentious issue. A number of studies have employed unit root tests that determine the order of integration of the price series which in turn allows us to infer whether or not prices contain a stochastic trend. While earlier studies have delivered mixed results, the more recent studies have rejected that natural resource prices contain a stochastic trend and are therefore not persistent to shocks. However, a drawback with these studies is the assumption that the underlying model is linear, as integration is a linear concept. Since theoretical papers have argued that prices are likely to be nonlinear, the existing definitions of integrability do not apply. This paper employs a new concept, summability, which is a generalisation of integrability. A further contribution is made by updating the data. This is timely and topical given the upheavals that have occurred in natural resource prices in recent years. The conclusions show that the results are sensitive to the sample size and the underlying nonlinearity in prices. We conclude that the dynamic properties of individual natural resource prices differ and each price should be evaluated on an individual basis. Acknowledgement :

description: The binary system $η$ Carinae is a unique laboratory in which to study particle acceleration to high energies under a wide range of conditions, including extremely high densities around periastron. To date, no consensus has emerged as to the origin of the GeV $γ$-ray emission in this important system. With a re-analysis of the full Fermi-LAT dataset for $η$ Carinae we show that the spectrum is consistent with a pion decay origin. A single population leptonic model connecting the X-ray to $γ$-ray emission can be ruled out. Here, we revisit the physical model of Ohm et al. (2015), based on two acceleration zones associated to the termination shocks in the winds of both stars. We conclude that inverse-Compton emission from in-situ accelerated electrons dominates the hard X-ray emission detected with NuSTAR at all phases away from periastron, and pion-decay from shock accelerated protons is the source of the $γ$-ray emission. Very close to periastron there is a pronounced dip in the hard X-ray emission, concomitant with the repeated disappearance of the thermal X-ray emission, which we interpret as being due to the suppression of significant electron acceleration in the system. Within our model, the residual emission seen by NuSTAR at this phase can be accounted for with secondary electrons produced in interactions of accelerated protons, in agreement with the variation in pion-decay $γ$-ray emission. Future observations with H.E.S.S., CTA and NuSTAR should confirm or refute this scenario.

Subjects: Food Consumption/Nutrition/Food Safety

description: Recent literature has drawn attention to the importance of secondary towns in development. Urbanization has been extensively covered in its effect on food security, however, secondary towns and their effects on diets are largely absent. This paper analyses dietary patterns for rural areas, secondary towns and megacities using DHS maternal and child nutritional outcomes and nighttime light data, as well as detailed food consumption data. Across East Africa, we find a clear pattern that secondary towns are a nutritional sweet spot . Maternal and child nutritional outcomes are optimal in secondary towns and the best consumption of macro- and micronutrients is at the secondary town level. Rural households consume too little, although their diet composition is good. Households in megacities consume enough, yet still face high levels of micronutrient deficiencies. Time constraints and market access may be the main factors which make secondary towns an ideal nutritional hub.

description: In animal experiments, the observed orientation preference (OP) and ocular dominance (OD) columns in the visual cortex of the brain show various pattern types. Here, we show that the different visual map formations in various species are due to the crossover behavior in anisotropic systems composed of orientational and scalar components such as easy-plane Heisenberg models. We predict the transition boundary between different pattern types with the anisotropy as a main bifurcation parameter, which is consistent with experimental observations.

description: By analysing the data acquired from the Parkes 64-m radio telescope at 1369 MHz, we report on the phase-stationary non-drift amplitude modulation observed in PSR J1048-5832. The high-sensitivity observations revealed that the central and trailing components of the pulse profile of this pulsar switch between a strong mode and a weak mode periodically. However, the leading component remains unchanged. Polarization properties of the strong and weak modes are investigated. Considering the similarity to mode changing, we argue that the periodic amplitude modulation in PSR J1048$-$5832 is periodic mode changing. The fluctuation spectral analysis showed that the modulation period is very short (~2.1 s or 17 P1), where P1 is the rotation period of the pulsar. We find that this periodic amplitude modulation is hard to explain by existing models that account for the periodic phenomena in pulsars like subpulse drifting.

description: The study analyses the extent, pattern and degree of the spatial integration of sugar markets in India, as well as relationship of white sugar export prices of India and global market. The pattern and degree of integration were assessed by testing for the existence of the Law Of One Price (LOOP) and ascertaining the speed of adjustment toward long-run equilibrium, using various tests by using cointegrated methods. Results have shown that only 4 of 11 sugar markets are integrated into a common sugar market. The supply of sugar appears to be the most important factor shaping the long-run behaviour of its price levels in India. No single market is found to be the price leader. The prices of sugar exported by India to the global market were not cointegrated and did not conform LOOP. Decontrolling of sugar sector from clutches of monthly release mechanism and export quota in India, plays an insignificant role in determining the relationship of sugar prices in the global market. The study suggests that improving the extent of market integration by focusing on the communication and other market related infrastructure and sugar policy reforms for more integration of domestic and global market.

description: The development of the extent and the usage of pasture land has become a topic of increasing interest from several perspectives. In comparison to the pasture extent, where political actions seek to protect and preserve pasture land, the usage form faces a broader public discussion. Here, many stakeholders express a preference of the usage of pastures by using grazing techniques. Despite the relevance, grazing livestock is rarely considered in research on public landscape preferences. By using the methods of discrete choice experiments (DCE), this study deepens the understanding of the German public preferences for pasture land. Based on a representative sample, the main results indicate that there is a general preference and WTP for livestock presence in the landscape in Germany. The mean WTP does not depend on the livestock density. Still it is found that scale heterogeneity is present in the sample. The paper discusses the relevant implications which follow from this result. Further, the paper discusses the possible differences in the study outcomes when using different econometric models. Here, the results indicate that future DCE applications on landscape preferences should consider econometrics models which account for scale heterogeneity. This could improve the understanding of the preference structures.

description: This study explores the impact of rainfall variability on farm households food insecurity and how participation in nonfarm enterprises may contribute to mitigate such effect. The ordinary least square and copula switching regressions are performed on the data of the 2014 Multi-sectoral Continuous Survey (EMC-BF). It appears that both short-term and long-term rainfall variability are important determinants of farm households food insecurity level in Burkina Faso. An increase in the rainfall average significantly reduce the level of farm households food insecurity. However, the effect of a short-term decrease in rainfall is only significant among the rural farm households indicating these latter dependences to rainfall for their livelihood compared to urban farm households. Furthermore, the study reveals nonfarm enterprises reduce farm households food insecurity. Therefore, operating a nonfarm enterprise may be a strategy to cope with rainfall variability effects among farm households in Burkina Faso. Acknowledgement : I acknowledged

description: IoT devices have been adopted widely in the last decade which enabled collection of various data from different environments. The collected data is crucial in certain applications where IoT devices generate data for critical infrastructure or systems whose failure may result in catastrophic results. Specifically, for such critical applications, data storage poses challenges since the data may be compromised during the storage and the integrity might be violated without being noticed. In such cases, integrity and data provenance are required in order to be able to detect the source of any incident and prove it in legal cases if there is a dispute with the involved parties. To address these issues, blockchain provides excellent opportunities since it can protect the integrity of the data thanks to its distributed structure. However, it comes with certain costs as storing huge amount of data in a public blockchain will come with significant transaction fees. In this paper, we propose a highly cost effective and reliable digital forensics framework by exploiting multiple inexpensive blockchain networks as a temporary storage before the data is committed to Ethereum. To reduce Ethereum costs,we utilize Merkle trees which hierarchically stores hashes of the collected event data from IoT devices. We evaluated the approach on popular blockchains such as EOS, Stellar, and Ethereum by presenting a cost and security analysis. The results indicate that we can achieve significant cost savings without compromising the integrity of the data.

description: We present synthetic spectra for circumstellar disks that are heated by radiation from a central brown dwarf. Under the assumption of vertical hydrostatic equilibrium, our models yield scaleheights for brown dwarf disks in excess of three times those derived for classical T Tauri (CTTS) disks. If the near-IR excess emission observed from brown dwarfs is indeed due to circumstellar disks, then the large scaleheights we find could have a significant impact on the optical and near-IR detectability of such systems. Our radiation transfer calculations show that such highly flared disks around brown dwarfs will result in a large fraction of obscured sources due to extinction of direct starlight by the disk over a wide range of sightlines. The obscured fraction for a 'typical' CTTS is less than 20%. We show that the obscured fraction for brown dwarfs may be double that for CTTS, but this depends on stellar and disk mass. We also comment on possible confusion in identifying brown dwarfs via color-magnitude diagrams: edge-on CTTS display similar colors and magnitudes as a face-on brown dwarf plus disk systems.

description: This study applies the Bias-Adjusted Three-Step approach with covariate and distal outcomes for identify the livelihood strategies pursued by small cacao farmers in the Guayas coastal region in Ecuador, where two distinct cacao varieties are grown: the fine flavor variety, cacao Nacional (CN) and a hybrid variety (CCN-51). A detailed household survey sampled 188 households. Four latent profiles of livelihood strategies were identified based on activity variables; these were related to capital assets used as covariate and income share variables used as distal outcomes. Results show that far from existing a neat gap between cultivation of CN and CCN-51, 60% of the sampled households simultaneously grows both varieties. Results indicate that the variable share of land allocated to CN does not significantly contribute to discriminate among profiles. Households with a low share of land allocated to CCN-51 show higher income diversification strategies and vice versa. Income diversification encouragement and improvement in livelihood basic services and production assets to improve economic security of smallholders seem to be the pathway to increase the success of the current policy for fine flavor cocoa rehabilitation at the national level.

description: Genus Sweziella Van Duzee
(Figs. 10, 19, 27)
 Sweziella Van Duzee, 1933: 346. Type species: Sweziella albifacies Van Duzee, 1933 [= Eurynogaster virida Van Duzee, 1933], by monotypy.
 Diagnosis: Species in this genus are relatively larger in size than typical Eurynogaster and can be distinguished from the latter genus and Uropachys by the conspicuous ventrally oriented lateral process on the 3rd abdominal tergite (Fig. 10) and the hypopygium having rounded cerci with unmodified hairs, long, thin bilobate surstylus, both lobes possessing apical spines, and the straight and sharply pointed aedeagus (Fig. 27).
 Hypopygium (Fig. 27): Extending forward up to posterior margin of 4th abdominal segment. In lateral view: cercus rounded, with fine hairs; surstylus bilobate, both lobes of equal length, long, thin, with strong apical setation or bristling; basiventral and apicoventral epandrial lobes absent; hypandrium sinuous, usually elongate; aedeagus long, thin, straight to sharply pointed apex.
 Discussion: Species in Sweziella are what many workers have previously characterized as the “typical” Eurynogaster owing to their relatively large size and commonness in collections. True Eurynogaster are typically much smaller in size whereas Sweziella include some of the larger members of the Eurynogaster group of genera (body length 3–6 mm). Currently, 7 species are placed in the genus.
 Included Species: Sweziella aeruginosa (Hardy & Kohn) *, comb. n., Sweziella conspicua (Hardy & Kohn) *, comb. n., Sweziella emarginata (Tenorio) *, comb. n., Sweziella gracilipennata (Hardy & Kohn) *, comb. n., Sweziella pictilipennata (Tenorio) *, comb. n., Sweziella tergoprolixa (Hardy & Kohn) *, comb. n., Sweziella virida (Van Duzee) *.

description: Static spherically symmetric anisotropic source has been studied for the Einstein-Maxwell field equations assuming the erstwhile cosmological constant $ Λ$ to be a space-variable scalar, viz., $ Λ= Λ(r) $. Two cases have been examined out of which one reduces to isotropic sphere. The solutions thus obtained are shown to be electromagnetic in origin as a particular case. It is also shown that the generally used pure charge condition, viz., $ ρ+ p_r = 0 $ is not always required for constructing electromagnetic mass models.

description: Nanoscale defects in superconductors play a dominant role in enhancing superconducting properties through electron scattering, modulation of coherence length, and correlation with quantized magnetic flux. For iron-based superconductors (IBSCs) that are expected to be employed in high-field magnetic applications, a fundamental question is whether such defects develop an upper critical field (Hc2) similar to that of conventional BCS-type superconductors. Herein, we report the first demonstration of a significantly improved Hc2 in a 122-phase IBSC by introducing defects through high-energy milling. Co-doped Ba122 polycrystalline bulk samples (Ba(Fe,Co)2As2) were prepared by sintering powder which was partially mechanically alloyed through high-energy milling. A remarkable increase in full-width at half maximum of X-ray powder diffraction peaks, anomalous shrinkage in the a-axis, and elongation in the c-axis were observed. When lattice defects are introduced into the grains, semiconductor behavior of the electric resistivity at low temperature (T < 100 K), slight decrease in transition temperature (Tc), upturn of Hc2(T) near Tc, and a large increase in Hc2(T) slope were observed. The slope of Hc2(T) increased approximately by 50%, i.e., from 4 to 6 T/K, and exceeded that of single crystals and thin films. Defect engineering through high-energy milling is expected to facilitate new methods for the designing and tuning of Hc2 in 122-phase IBSCs.

description: Slowly convergent series and sequences as well as divergent series occur quite frequently in the mathematical treatment of scientific problems. In this report, a large number of mainly nonlinear sequence transformations for the acceleration of convergence and the summation of divergent series are discussed. Some of the sequence transformations of this report as for instance Wynn's $ε$ algorithm or Levin's sequence transformation are well established in the literature on convergence acceleration, but the majority of them is new. Efficient algorithms for the evaluation of these transformations are derived. The theoretical properties of the sequence transformations in convergence acceleration and summation processes are analyzed. Finally, the performance of the sequence transformations of this report are tested by applying them to certain slowly convergent and divergent series, which are hopefully realistic models for a large part of the slowly convergent or divergent series that can occur in scientific problems and in applied mathematics.

 Etymology. The specific epithet refers to the type locality.
 Diagnosis. S. tonteldoos shares a similar opisthosoma colour pattern with S. feron Corronca (Corronca 2002:15, Fig. 24), but the general form of the epigynum with the middle field not reaching the posterior margin (Fig. 1), the genital openings posterior to the median portion of the epigynum and the globular spermathecae (Fig. 2) differ this species with S. feron. The fertilization ducts of S. tooltedoos are shorter and not coiled as in S. feron and the copulatory ducts are narrower than in S. feron. S. tonteldoos has tufts of white hairs on the posterior portion of the opisthosoma which are absent in S. feron.

description: We present a setup to perform sub shot noise measurements of the phase quadrature for intense pulsed light without the use of a separate local oscillator. A Mach--Zehnder interferometer with an unbalanced arm length is used to detect the fluctuations of the phase quadrature at a single side band frequency. Using this setup, the non--separability of a pair of quadrature entangled beams is demonstrated experimentally.

description: Agricultural futures prices react quickly to new information. Results from agricultural futures price regressions suggest that nominal interest rate variation was dominated by variation in real interest rates during the October 1979 to October 1982 period when the Federal Reserve targeted Ml. During the rest of the 1970s and 1980s, nominal interest rate variation appeared to be more related to variation in inflation expectations. Also, corn and Wheat prices reacted to unexpected rain shocks, while soybean prices were more sensitive to temperature shocks. Export, stocks, and loan rate shocks were not as important in the evolution of spot prices.
Statistics of active vs. passive advections in magnetohydrodynamic turbulence

Subjects: subject: Chaotic Dynamics (nlin.CD)

description: Active turbulent advection is considered in the context of magneto-hydrodynamics. In this case, an auxiliary passive field bears no apparent connection to the active field. The scaling properties of the two fields are different. In the framework of a shell model, we show that the two-point structure function of the passive field has a unique zero mode, characterizing the scaling of this field only. In other words, the existence of statistical invariants for the decaying passive field carries no information on the scaling properties of the active field.

description: The ever increasing capital requirements in agriculture, along with increasing debt levels and fluctuating interest rates, have increased the intensity of cash flow problems and financial crisis. This paper evaluates effects of debt level on farm income level, enterprise mix and farm survival. Farms with debt of 50 percent or more had negative capital accumulation even with interest rates of 10 percent.

description: All-inorganic halide perovskites have attracted a great interest as a promising light harvester of perovskite solar cells due to their enhanced chemical stability. In this work we investigate the material properties of solid solutions CsPb(I$_{1-x}$Br$_x$)$_3$ in cubic phase by applying the virtual crystal approximation approach within a density functional theory framework. First we check the validity of constructed pseudopotentials of the virtual atoms (X = I$_{1-x}$Br$_x$) by verifying that the lattice constants follow the linear function of mixing ratio. We then suggest an idea of using the hybrid HSE functional with linear increasing value of exact exchange term as increasing the Br content x, which produces the band gaps of CsPbX3 in good agreement with the available experimental data. The calculated light absorption coefficients and reflectivity show the systematic varying tendency to the Br content. We calculate the phonon dispersions of CsPbX3, CsX and PbX2 as slightly changing their volumes, revealing the phase instability of CsPbX3 and calculating the thermodynamic potential function differences. By projecting Gibbs free energy differences onto the plane of G = 0, we determine the P - T diagram for CsPbX3 to be stable against the chemical decomposition, highlighting that the area of being stable extends gradually as the Br content increases.

description: Metal oxide nanoparticles (MONPs) have been increasingly reported to possess diverse industrial and biomedical applications. Herein, we synthesized secondary (CuO, Fe2O3 (FeO), ZnO), ternary (ZnO/CuO-FeOx) and quaternary (ZnO-CuO-FeOx) co-assembled core-shelled MONPs by (co-)precipitation technique, characterized the synthesized MONPs and consequently investigated their antibacterial capacity. The UV-Vis absorption spectra of the prepared MONPs presented experimental band gaps; ZnO of 3.36 eV; ZnO-FeOx (x = 0.1; x = 0.5) with 3.38 eV and 3.37 eV; and ZnO-FeOx-CuOx (x = 0.1; x = 0.5) of 3.36 eV and 3.36 eV band gaps respectively. Thermogravimetric analysis revealed the stability of the prepared MONPs, by the presented total mass lost (%): ZnOFeO0.5 (1.34) > ZnOFeO0.1 (1.93) > ZnOFeO0.1CuO0.1 (2.12) > ZnOFeO0.5CuO0.5 (2.34) > CuOFeO0.1 (3.78) > CuOFeO0.5 (4.25) > Fe2O3 (4.44) > CuO (6.37) > ZnO (8.69). The XRD peak positions of the secondary MONPs prepared presented hexagonal structures for ZnO, monoclinic structures for CuO and rhombohedral structures for Fe2O3 without identified impurity peaks. Finally, the co-assembled MONPs prepared showed that they possessed varied efficiency for protection from different bacterial strains, with Staphylococcus.peumonia growth being the most inhibited, with MONPs treatments CuO > ZnOFeO0.5CuO0.5 > CuOFeO0.5 > ZnOFeO0.1CuO0.1 > Fe2O3 > ZnOFeO0.5 > ZnO.
