description: India's policy responses were strong to the food price crisis. Exports of basic staples were banned, domestic support prices of wheat and rice were raised substantially, urea price increases in global markets were absorbed through enhanced fertilizer subsidy, and a National Food Security Mission was launched to raise grain production by 20 MMT over the next five years. The results: India contained food inflation below 7 percent in 2007-08; grain production increased by 42 MMT; and grains stocks touched 82 MMT. With freeing of exports in September 2011, India became a world leader in rice exports. The cost of this policy was rising subsidies on food and fertilizers, rising fiscal deficit, leading to double digit food inflation after 2009-10. Had India quickly reviewed its export ban policy, and opened exports earlier, it could avoid excessive grain stocks, reduced fiscal deficit, and benefited global markets, leading to a win-win situation.

description: Using the Matsubara formalism, we consider the massive $(λϕ^{4})_{D}$ vector $N$-component model in the large $N$ limit, the system being confined between two infinite paralell planes. We investigate the behavior of the coupling constant as a function of the separation $L$ between the planes. For the Wick-ordered model in $D = 3$ we are able to give an exact formula to the $L$-dependence of the coupling constant. For the non-Wick-ordered model we indicate how expressions for the coupling constant and the mass can be obtained for arbitrary dimension $D$ in the small-$L$ regime. Closed exact formulas for the $L$-dependent renormalized coupling constant and mass are obtained in $D = 3$ and their behaviors as functions of $L$ are displayed. We are also able to obtainn in generic dimension $D$, an equation for the critical value of $L$ corresponding to a second order phase transition in terms of the Riemann $zeta$-function. In $D = 3$ a renormalization is done and an explicit formula for the critical $L$ is given.

description: This concept paper aims to conceptualize internet banking adoption in the Sri Lankan context with special reference to Undergraduates. Even though the rapid spread of technology has made the internet the best channel to provide banking services, it is explored in many studies that the internet adoption rate in Sri Lanka is at an inadequate level. This paper primarily focusses on millennial internet banking consumption, which is intended to study through a sample of Undergraduates in Sri Lanka. Although there are numerous studies carried out by different researchers on the internet banking context, the attention given to millennial internet banking behavior is insufficient. The review is based on the theoretical rationale based on the extension to Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT2), which mainly incorporates purchasing determinants (performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, price value, habit, and facility conditions) and supportive empirical findings. A descriptive statistical review shows why Sri Lanka is considered a context to be examined while empirical evidence supports the arguments. The paper concludes with research propositions to examine factors that influence the adoption of internet banking

description: This paper identifies nine political economy factors that influenced governments’ policy choices during the most recent global food price crisis. While the most common policy stances may be explained by a simple, welfare-maximizing model, the variety of responses and the policy failures require more complex models. Policies are favored that maintain government legitimacy and produce private benefits for the best-connected stakeholders. Policy interventions were frequently ad hoc and delayed because of lack of market information, conflicts among government agencies in all governments, and extended deliberations among competing stakeholder groups. Widespread mutual mistrust between governments and the private sector was a major challenge. Governments’ unpredictable policy behavior and lack of transparency contributed to the hoarding, speculation and inefficient business transactions they condemned in the private sector, which further contributed to low transparency and instability. Breaking this vicious circle appears to be very important to improve food policy.

From the Sigma+ polarization measured with the decay Sigma+ -> p pi0 and the e- - anti-nu/e correlation, we measure g1/f1 to be 1.32 +0.21-0.17(stat.) +/- 0.05(syst.), assuming the SU(3)f (flavor) values for g2/f1 and f2/f1. Our results are all consistent with exact SU(3)f symmetry.

description: This study presents an investigation into the viability of pre-treated general wastes at dif?ferent degrees of stability as carbon sources for in-situ bio-denitrification at landfills. Do?mestic waste was composted and stabilised for eight (8) and sixteen (16) weeks within two different mini-landfill cells located at the Bisasar Road landfill, Durban, South Africa. Eight substrate categories were developed using the composted domestic wastes and com?mercial garden refuse with stand-alone and combinatory approaches. Adopting small-scale dynamic batch tests, landfill leachate, treated with 500 mg/l nitrate concentration level, was used to comparatively assess the denitrification efficiency of the stand-alone and aug?mented substrates. Results demonstrate that substrates based on domestic waste were unable to independently sustain the denitrification process. Full denitrification was only achieved on the augmented substrates. Kinetic analyses show that a zero-order reaction better describes the denitrification rate independent of the nitrate concentration. These results thus elucidate the benefits inherent in adopting augmented substrates in treating landfill leachate.

description: We apply a self-consistent relativistic mean-field variational ``Gaussian functional'' (or Hartree) approximation to the linear $σ$ model with spontaneously and explicitly broken chiral O(4) symmetry. We set up the self-consistency, or ``gap'' and the Bethe-Salpeter equations. We check and confirm the chiral Ward-Takahashi identities, among them the Nambu-Goldstone theorem and the (partial) axial current conservation [CAC], both in and away from the chiral limit. With explicit chiral symmetry breaking we confirm the Dashen relation for the pion mass and partial CAC. We solve numerically the gap and Bethe-Salpeter equations, discuss the solutions' properties and the particle content of the theory.

description: The hedonic price model assumes that land prices contain information in relation to the value that consumers put on characteristics of the land. Variations in prices may then be used to measure the productive value of those characteristics. There is a small literature on hedonic price models of agricultural land, including a study by Kostov (2009). Kostov deals with the impact of land characteristics on price in Northern Ireland and puts the emphasis on solving problems related to spatial dependency which can lead to biased results they are ignored. Latruffe and Le Mouel (2007) studied the capitalization of farm subsidies into higher land prices, while Myles et al. (2008) assess the influence of direct payments on the rental value of the land by. Urbanization can also have an impact on land prices because of an increased expected value of the land due to land use changes as discussed by Cavailhès and Wareski (2003). The aim of this paper is to understand what drives the farm land market in terms of price making and value of the land and to what extent. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of certain groups of factors on the agricultural land market, namely: - Policy Capitalisation - Local Markets - Environmental and Agronomic Drivers of Land Productivity - Land Use In order to estimate a hedonic price model with the four agronomic, market, land use and policy elements, we require a dataset that contains both land values and relevant explanatory variables. In order to capture market capitalization, it requires information on policy changes over time, while capturing local market and agronomic characteriststics requires georeferenced information. The Teagasc National Farm Survey, which is the Irish component of the EU Farm Accountancy Data Network (FADN) is a detailed farm datasetthat has been conducted annually since 1972. Given the selection bias associated actual sales or purchases, we have chosen to use selfassessed land prices from the NFS as our dependent variable. 3 Models are estimated of increasing complexity - Land use - Land use plus policy plus environment - Land use plus policy plus environment plus local land market

description: A novel computational framework for designing metamaterials with negative Poisson's ratio over a large strain range is presented in this work by combining the density-based topology optimization together with a mixed stress/deformation driven nonlinear homogenization method. A measure of Poisson's ratio based on the macro deformations is proposed, which is further validated through direct numerical simulations. With the consistent optimization formulations based on nonlinear homogenization, auxetic metamaterial designs with respect to different loading orientations and with different unit cell domains are systematically explored. In addition, the extension to multimaterial auxetic metamaterial designs is also considered, and stable optimization formulations are presented to obtain discrete metamaterial topologies under finite strains. Various new auxetic designs are obtained based on the proposed framework. To validate the performance of optimized designs, a multiscale stability analysis is carried out using the Bloch wave method and rank-one convexity check. As demonstrated, short and/or long wavelength instabilities can occur during the loading process, leading to a change of periodicity of the microstructure, which can affect the performance of an optimized design.

description: We present results from large-scale Monte Carlo simulations on the full Ginzburg-Landau (GL) model, including fluctuations in the amplitude and the phase of the matter-field, as well as fluctuations of the non-compact gauge-field of the theory. {}From this we obtain a precise critical value of the GL parameter $\kct$ separating a first order metal to superconductor transition from a second order one, $\kct = (0.76\pm 0.04)/\sqrt{2}$. This agrees surprisingly well with earlier analytical results based on a disorder theory of the superconductor to metal transition, where the value $\kct=0.798/\sqrt{2}$ was obtained. To achieve this, we have done careful infinite volume and continuum limit extrapolations. In addition we offer a novel interpretation of $\kct$, namely that it is also the value separating \typeI and \typeII behaviour.

description: Electroforming is used to initiate the memristive response in metal/oxide/metal devices by creating a filamentary conduction path in the oxide film. Here we use a simple photoresist-based detection technique to map the spatial distribution of conductive filaments formed in Nb/NbOx/Pt devices, and correlate these with current-voltage characteristics and in-situ thermoreflectance measurements to identify distinct modes of electroforming in low and high conductivity NbOx films. In low conductivity films the filaments are randomly distributed within the oxide film, consistent with a field-induced weakest-link mechanism, while in high conductivity films they are concentrated in the center of the film. In the latter case the current-voltage characteristics and in-situ thermoreflectance imaging show that electroforming is associated with current bifurcation into regions of low and high current density. This is supported by finite element modelling of the current distribution and shown to be consistent with predictions of a simple core-shell model of the current distribution. These results clearly demonstrate two distinct modes of electroforming in the same materials system and show that the dominant mode depends on the conductivity of the film, with field-induced electroforming dominant in low conductivity films and current-bifurcation induced electroforming dominant in high conductivity films. Finally, we demonstrate S-type and snap-back negative differential resistance in the high conductivity films and explain this behavior in terms of two-zone model.

We also discuss the prospects of using EFT in the description of other halos, such as the three-body halo nucleus 6He.

description: The exact static and time-dependent Kohn-Sham (KS) exchange-correlation (xc) potential is extremely challenging to approximate as it is a local multiplicative potential that depends on the electron density everywhere in the system. The KS approach can be generalised by allowing part of the potential to be spatially nonlocal. We take this nonlocal part to be that of unrestricted Hartree-Fock theory. The additional local correlation potential in principle ensures that the single-particle density exactly equals the many-body density. In our case, the local correlation potential is predominantly nearsighted in its dependence on the density and hence an (adiabatic) local density approximation to this potential yields accurate ground-state properties and real-time densities for one-dimensional test systems.

description: The objective of this paper is to compare land use models based on three different proxies for agricultural land rent: farmers’ revenues; land price and shadow price of land derived from a mathematical programming model. We estimate a land use shares model of France at the scale of a homogeneous grid (8 km x 8 km). We consider five land use classes: (1) agriculture, (2) pasture, (3) forest, (4) urban and (5) other uses. We investigate the determinants of the shares of land in alternative uses using economic, physical and demographic explanatory variables. Data on land use is derived from the remote sensing database Corine Land Cover. We model spatial autocorrelation between grid cells and compare the prediction accuracy as well as the estimated elasticities between different model specifications. Our results show that the three rent proxies give similar results in terms of prediction quality of different models. Our results also show that including spatial autocorrelation in land use models improve the quality of prediction (RMSE indicators). One of our econometric land use models is used to simulate the effects of a nitrogen tax as well as to project land use changes in France under two IPCC climate scenarios.

Environmental Economics and Policy

description: Agri-environment policy in Europe has been applied for more than two decades, reaching great importance both economically and at spatial level. There is a debate in the academy about the tangible environmental benefits achieved with this policy. The present work analyses a whole Agri-environmental Program (6,523 beneficiary farms) for the community support period 2007-2013, focusing on its incidence and effects in the Galician province of Lugo, as well as the degree of implementation in relation to demographic, economic and agricultural structure. Descriptive statistics were used to determine the distribution in the territory of Agri-environmental Schemes (AES) and grant amount. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to determine the effects of different variables on the proportion of AES, using Akaike's Information Criterion procedure. The results show that population dynamics have significant incidence in explaining the spatial distribution of AES In mountain areas with lower population density and higher aging rateAES reveals to support the income of the least productive and marginal farms and, at the same time, the conservation of Nature, especially tackling the proliferation of forest fires. Some were widely adopted in the province, while others focused on specific geographical areas. The ecological improvement of the physical environment under Natura 2000 measures has the least impact on the territory.

hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

description: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), which is the most common genetic cardiac disease, is diagnosed by the presence of ventricular hypertrophy in the absence of any abnormal loading conditions causing it. Clinical manifestations of HCM are highly variable—individuals with HCM can either be asymptomatic or exhibit dyspnea, fatigue, palpitations, chest pain, sudden cardiac death, cardiac arrhythmias, or heart failure. The HCM Clinical contains knowledge elements on the clinical aspects of HCM, including genetic differential diagnosis, clinical diagnosis and monitoring, and treatment. The elements incorporated are in line with the HCM clinical practice guidelines. The HCM Clinical was built using CellDesigner v. 4.4.2, and the annotations for all the components were added using the Minimal Information Requested In the Annotations of Models (MIRIAM). The HCM Clinical was converted into an interactive HCM knowledge resource and made publicly available using the Molecular Interaction NEtwoRks VisuAlization (MINERVA) platform v. 15.1.2. The HCM Clinical will be continuously updated with information from the HCM clinical guidelines and research community regarding HCM diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment improvements. The HCM Clinical interactive knowledge resource is available at: https://silicofcm.eu/hcm-clinical-interactive/.

description: We investigate the explosion of stars with zero-age main-sequence masses between 20 and 35 solar masses and varying degrees of rotation and magnetic fields including ones commonly considered progenitors of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). The simulations, combining special relativistic magnetohydrodynamics, a general relativistic approximate gravitational potential, and two-moment neutrino transport, demonstrate the viability of different scenarios for the post-bounce evolution. Having formed a highly massive proto-neutron star (PNS), several models launch successful explosions, either by the standard supernova mechanism based on neutrino heating and hydrodynamic instabilities or by magnetorotational processes. It is, however, quite common for the PNS to collapse to a black hole (BH) within a few seconds. Others might produce proto-magnetar-driven explosions. We explore several ways to describe the different explosion mechanisms. The competition between the timescales for advection of gas through the gain layer and heating by neutrinos provides an approximate explanation for models with insignificant magnetic fields. The fidelity of this explosion criterion in the case of rapid rotation can be improved by accounting for the strong deviations from spherical symmetry and mixing between pole and equator. We furthermore study an alternative description including the ram pressure of the gas falling through the shock. Magnetically driven explosions tend to arise from a strongly magnetised region around the polar axis. In these cases, the onset of the explosion corresponds to the equality between the advection timescale and the timescale for the propagation of Alfvén waves through the gain layer.

description: One of the turning points in the development world occurred during the 1994 International Conference on Development and Population (ICPD) in Egypt which marked the fundamental shift away from the numerical aspects of considering population and development dynamics to a human-rights approach. A consensus in its Programme of Action provided that: ‘The relationship of population to development is so intertwined with issues of poverty, patterns of production and consumption, and inequality, that none can be fruitfully addressed in isolation’. Twenty years on, a lot has been achieved, emphasising, however, a lot more needs to be done. Developing countries’ population bases are projected to rise from 5.9 billion in 2013 to 8.2 billion in 2050 and 9.6 billion in 2100. Growth is expected to be particularly dramatic in the least developed countries of the world: from 898 million in 2013 to 1.8 billion by 2050 and 2.9 billion in 2100. Youth and children populations now in least developed countries are at an all-time high: 1.7 billion children and 1.1 billion young people. Globally, the population aged 60 or over is the fastest growing cohort. In developed regions it is increasing at 1.0% annually (before 2050) while the 60 or over-60 cohorts in less developed regions are increasing at the fastest pace ever. Respecting fundamental human rights in framing policy interventions that understand the role of sexual and reproductive health and rights in policy and programming will be critical to responding to shifts in population dynamics. People must be in the centre of our collective response to the changing dynamics and key trends presently experienced globally, in particular countries with urgent food security issues.

description: On a high mobility two-dimensional hole gas (2DHG) in a GaAs/GaAlAs heterostructure we study the interaction correction to the Drude conductivity in the ballistic regime, $k_BTτ/\hbar $ $>1$. It is shown that the 'metallic' behaviour of the resistivity ($dρ/dT>0$) of the low-density 2DHG is caused by hole-hole interaction effect in this regime. We find that the temperature dependence of the conductivity and the parallel-field magnetoresistance are in agreement with this description, and determine the Fermi-liquid interaction constant $F_0^σ$ which controls the sign of $dρ/dT$.

description: We theoretically show that a temporally oscillating spin-driven electromotive force or voltage with a large DC component can be generated by exciting microwave-active spin-wave modes of a skyrmion crystal confined in a quasi two-dimensional magnet under a tilted magnetic field. The DC component and the AC amplitude of the oscillating electric voltage is significantly enhanced when the microwave frequency is tuned to an eigenfrequency of the peculiar spin-wave modes of the skyrmion crystal called ``rotation modes" and ``breathing mode", whereas the sign of the DC component depends on the microwave polarization and on the spin-wave mode. These results provide an efficient means to convert microwaves to a DC electric voltage by using skyrmion-hosting magnets and to switch the sign of the voltage via tuning the microwave frequency, which are important capabilities for spintronic devices.

description: Representations of different molecular mechanisms help in deciphering the detailed pathophysiology of diseases. They can be examined as either sets or networks of elements. The intersection of two sets is the set of all objects that are members of both the sets. Intersection can be implemented manually as well as using most programming languages. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), which is the most common genetic cardiac disease, has a prevalence of 1 in 500 people. We applied intersection on various levels of HCM representations—element, interaction, and subnetwork level—and found it useful for finding shared pathophysiologic mechanisms, as a difference finder, and as noise removal. At the element level, the intersection was found useful for comparing the representations. It was used on both raw molecular elements and the results of network analysis. At the interaction level, the intersection was used for data refinement and finding the shared pathophysiologic mechanisms of HCM and its clinical courses. At the subnetwork level, the intersection was used for finding common molecular mechanisms as well as comparing representations. Apart from these, the intersection also has the potential to be used for the discovery of biomarkers and drug targets. The use of intersection proved to be a simple and effective for exploring the representations of HCM molecular mechanisms.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: Aggregating linear complementarity problems under a general definition of constrained consistency leads to the possibility of consistent aggregation of linear and quadratic programming models. Under this formulation, consistent aggregation of dual variables is also achieved. Furthermore, the existence of multiple sets of aggregation operators is illustrated with a numerical example. Such multiple operators allow considerable flexibility of the microstructures admitting consistent aggregation.
Existence and stability of a limit cycle in the model of a planar passive biped walking down a slope

description: We consider the simplest model of a passive biped walking down a slope given by the equations of switched coupled pendula (McGeer, 1990). Following the fundamental work by Garcia et al (1998), we view the slope of the ground as a small parameter $γ\ge 0$. When $γ=0$ the system can be solved in closed form and the existence of a family of limit cycles (i.e. potential walking cycles) can be established explicitly. As observed in Garcia et al (1998), the family of limit cycles disappears when $γ$ increases and only isolated asymptotically stable cycles (walking cycles) persist. However, no rigorous proofs of such a bifurcation (often referred to as Melnikov bifurcation) have ever been reported. The present paper fills in this gap in the field and offers the required proof.

An Automated System to Classify Stellar Spectra I
Creators: name: Prieto, C. Allende
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Analyses of stellar spectra often begin with the determination of a number of parameters that define a model atmosphere. This work presents a prototype for an automated spectral classification system that uses a 15 nm-wide region around Hbeta, and applies to stars of spectral types A to K with normal (scaled solar) chemical composition. The new tool exploits synthetic spectra based on plane-parallel flux-constant model atmospheres. The input data are high signal-to-noise spectra with a resolution greater than about 0.1 nm. The output parameters are forced to agree with an external scale of effective temperatures based on the Infrared Flux Method. The system is fast -- a spectrum is classified in a few seconds-- and well-suited for implementation on a web server. We estimate upper limits to the 1-sigma random error in the retrieved effective temperatures, surface gravities, and metallicities as 100 K, 0.3 dex, and 0.1 dex, respectively.
