description: Food demand parameters are necessary for informed food policy making. In this paper we specify a Quadratic Almost Ideal Demand System and estimate a complete demand system for rice, sorghum, millet and maize in rural and urban Mali using Mali’s 2006 household budget survey data. Elasticities are estimated by per capita income groups and by rural and urban residence. We use these estimates to measure the welfare effects of cereals price shocks observed from 2008 to 2011 by means of a proportional compensating variation that allows for second-order demand responses to price changes. Our results suggest that substitution occurs between rice and coarse grains in both the rural and the urban areas and across income groups. Across income groups and place of residence, the second-order effect on welfare of cereals price shocks are only slightly lower than the first-order effect, reflecting a limited scope for substitution to “cheaper” cereals when all cereals prices are rising sharply. In both rural and urban areas, the relative income loss from observed price changes was greater for poorer than richer households, but the absolute income loss was greater for the higher income groups. The findings suggest a scope to encourage ongoing diversification of staple food sources to give consumers more opportunity for substitution and choice. Price transmission across cereals suggests a need for a cereals policy rather than just, for example, a rice policy. The results suggest strong future growth in demand and a need to focus on driving down unit costs throughout the food system.

description: This paper analyzes intra-household gender difference and women empowerment in agricultural index. A combination of multistage and random sampling technique was used. A total of 60 husbands and 60 wives were included in this study, selected from four kebeles proportional to the number of beneficiaries in the kebele. Descriptive statistics, t-test, and women empowerment in agricultural index were used for analysis. There was disparity between women and men; women were less empowered than men. Women’s empowerment index in agriculture was 73%. Meanwhile, the overall gender parity index was 68% and the empowerment gap was 32%. Based on results obtained; the study suggests different areas of intervention that could bridge the gap and help for future improvement in reducing major contributors to the disempowerment of women in agricultural extension service and the level of women’s empowerment in agriculture.

description: A number of recent experimental studies have shown that solid-state complex organic molecules (COMs) can form under conditions that are relevant to the CO freeze-out stage in dense clouds. In this work, we show that alcohols can be formed well before the CO freeze-out stage (i.e., in the H2O-rich ice phase). This joint experimental and computational investigation shows that the isomers, n- and i-propanol (H3CCH2CH2OH and H3CCHOHCH3) and n- and i-propenol (H3CCHCHOH and H3CCOHCH2), can be formed in radical-addition reactions starting from propyne (H3CCCH) + OH at the low temperature of 10 K, where H3CCCH is one of the simplest representatives of stable carbon chains already identified in the interstellar medium (ISM). The resulting average abundance ratio of 1:1 for n-propanol:i-propanol is aligned with the conclusions from the computational work that the geometric orientation of strongly interacting species is influential to the extent of which 'mechanism' is participating, and that an assortment of geometries leads to an averaged-out effect. Three isomers of propanediol are also tentatively identified in the experiments. It is also shown that propene and propane (H3CCHCH2 and H3CCH2CH3) are formed from the hydrogenation of H3CCCH. Computationally-derived activation barriers give additional insight into what types of reactions and mechanisms are more likely to occur in the laboratory and in the ISM. Our findings not only suggest that the alcohols studied here share common chemical pathways and therefore can show up simultaneously in astronomical surveys, but also that their extended counterparts that derive from polyynes containing H3C(CC)nH structures may exist in the ISM. Such larger species, like fatty alcohols, are the possible constituents of simple lipids that primitive cell membranes on the early Earth are thought to be partially composed of.

A General Framework for Complex Network-Based Image Segmentation

description: With the recent advances in complex networks theory, graph-based techniques for image segmentation has attracted great attention recently. In order to segment the image into meaningful connected components, this paper proposes an image segmentation general framework using complex networks based community detection algorithms. If we consider regions as communities, using community detection algorithms directly can lead to an over-segmented image. To address this problem, we start by splitting the image into small regions using an initial segmentation. The obtained regions are used for building the complex network. To produce meaningful connected components and detect homogeneous communities, some combinations of color and texture based features are employed in order to quantify the regions similarities. To sum up, the network of regions is constructed adaptively to avoid many small regions in the image, and then, community detection algorithms are applied on the resulting adaptive similarity matrix to obtain the final segmented image. Experiments are conducted on Berkeley Segmentation Dataset and four of the most influential community detection algorithms are tested. Experimental results have shown that the proposed general framework increases the segmentation performances compared to some existing methods.
Gravitational Radiation and the Small-Scale Structure of Cosmic Strings

description: We calculate the gravitational radiation emitted by an infinite cosmic string with two oppositely moving wave-trains, in the small amplitude approximation. After comparing our result to the previously studied cases we extend the results to a new regime where the wavelengths of the opposing wave-trains are very different. We show that in this case the amount of power radiated vanishes exponentially. This means that small excitations moving in only one direction may be very long lived, and so the size of the smallest scales in a string network might be much smaller than what one would expect from gravitational back reaction. This result allows for a potential host of interesting cosmological possibilities involving ultra-high energy cosmic rays, gamma ray bursts and gravitational wave bursts.

Partial Equilibration of the Anti-Pfaffian edge due to Majorana Disorder

description: We consider electrical and thermal equilibration of the edge modes of the Anti-Pfaffian quantum Hall state at $ν=5/2$ due to tunneling of the Majorana edge mode to trapped Majorana zero modes in the bulk. Such tunneling breaks translational invariance and allows scattering between Majorana and other edge modes in such a way that there is a parametric difference between the length scales for equilibration of charge and heat transport between integer and Bose mode on the one hand, and for thermal equilibration of the Majorana edge mode on the other hand. We discuss a parameter regime in which this mechanism could explain the recent observation of quantized heat transport [Banerjee et all, Nature 559, 7713 (2018)].

description: Nature abhors an infinity. The limits of general relativity are often signaled by infinities: infinite curvature as in the center of a black hole, the infinite energy of the singular big bang. We might be inclined to add an infinite universe to the list of intolerable infinities. Theories that move beyond general relativity naturally treat space as finite. In this review we discuss the mathematics of finite spaces and our aspirations to observe the finite extent of the universe in the cosmic background radiation.

description: Smallholder farmers are particularly vulnerable to climate shocks but often lack access to agricultural insurance. Weather index insurance (WII) could reduce some of the problems associated with traditional, indemnity-based insurance programs, but uptake has been lower than expected. One reason is that WII contracts are not yet sufficiently tailored to the needs and preferences of smallholders. This study combines survey and choice-experimental data from Kenya to analyse the experience with an existing WII program and how specific changes in contractual design might increase insurance uptake. Many smallholders struggle with fully understanding the functioning of the program, which undermines their confidence. Better training and communication are needed. Regular provision of relevant rainfall measurements and thresholds would significantly increase farmers’ willingness to pay for WII. Mechanisms to reduce basis risk are also valued by farmers, although not to the same extent as higher levels of transparency. Finally, offering contracts to small groups rather than individual farmers could increase insurance uptake. Group contracts may help to reduce transaction costs. Farmer groups can also be important platforms for learning about complex innovations, including novel risk transfer products. While the concrete results are specific to Kenya, they provide some broader policy-relevant insights into typical issues of WII in a small-farm context.
High energy neutrino flux from individual blazar flares

description: Motivated by the recently reported evidence of an association between a high-energy neutrino and a gamma-ray flare from the blazar TXS 0506+056, we calculate the expected high-energy neutrino signal from past, individual flares, from twelve blazars, selected in declinations favourable for detection with IceCube. To keep the number of free parameters to a minimum, we mainly focus on BL Lac objects and assume the synchrotron self-Compton mechanism produces the bulk of the high-energy emission. We consider a broad range of the allowed parameter space for the efficiency of proton acceleration, the proton content of BL Lac jets, and the presence of external photon fields. To model the expected neutrino fluence we use simultaneous multi-wavelength observations. We find that in the absence of external photon fields and with jet proton luminosity normalised to match the observed production rate of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays, individual flaring sources produce a modest neutrino flux in IceCube, $\lesssim10^{-3}$ muon neutrinos with energy exceeding 100 TeV, stacking ten years of flare periods selected in the >800 MeV Fermi energy range from each source. Under optimistic assumptions about the jet proton luminosity and in the presence of external photon fields, we find that the two most powerful sources in our sample, AO 0235+164, and OJ 287, would produce, in total, $\approx 3$ muon neutrinos during ten years of Fermi flaring periods, in future neutrino detectors with total instrumented volume $\sim$ten times larger than IceCube,or otherwise, constrain the proton luminosity of blazar jets.

description: The mechanical behavior of graphitic materials is greatly affected by the weak interlayer bonding with van der Waals forces for a range of thickness from nano to macroscale. Herein, we present a comprehensive study of the effect of layer thickness on the compression behavior of graphitic materials such as graphene which are fully embedded in polymer matrices. Raman Spectroscopy was employed to identify experimentally the critical strain to failure of the graphitic specimens. The most striking finding is that, contrary to what would be expected from Eulerian mechanics, the critical compressive strain to failure decreases with increase of flake thickness. This is due to the layered structure of the material and in particular the weak cohesive forces that hold the layers together. The plate phenomenology breaks down for the case of multi-layer graphene, which can be approached as discrete single layers weakly bonded to each other. This behavior is modelled here by considering the interlayer bonding (van der Waals forces) as springs in series, and very good agreement was found between theory and experiment. Finally, it will be shown that in the post failure regime multi-layer graphenes exhibit negative stiffness and thus behave as mechanical metamaterials.

description: We present kpc-scale ALMA and HST imaging of the quasar PJ308-21 at $z$=$6.2342$, tracing dust, gas (via the [CII] 158 $μ$m line) and young stars. At a resolution of $\sim0.3''$ ($\approx1.7$ kpc), the system is resolved over $>4''$ ($>$20 kpc). In particular, it features a main component, identified to be the quasar host galaxy, centered on the accreting supermassive black hole; and two other extended components on the West and East side, one redshifted and the other blueshifted relative to the quasar. The [CII] emission of the entire system stretches over $>$1500 km/s along the line of sight. All the components of the system are observed in dust, [CII], and rest-frame UV emission. The inferred [CII] luminosities [(0.9-4.6)$\times 10^9$ L$_\odot$], dust luminosities [(0.15-2.6)$\times10^{12}$ L$_\odot$], and rest-frame UV luminosities [(6.6-15)$\times10^{10}$ L$_\odot$], their ratios, and the implied gas/dust masses and star formation rates [11-290 M$_\odot$ yr$^{-1}$] are typical of high-redshift star-forming galaxies. A toy model of a single satellite galaxy that is tidally stripped by the interaction with the quasar host galaxy can account for the observed velocity and spatial extent of the two extended components. An outflow interpretation of the unique features in PJ308-21 is not supported by the data. PJ308-21 is thus one of the earliest galaxy mergers imaged at cosmic dawn.

description: This study examines the determinants of yield gap in rain fed and irrigated rice production systems in Kwara state, Nigeria. The objectives of the research are to; estimate the Profitability of rice production under rain fed and irrigated rice production systems; determine the technical efficiency of the farmers and to assess the determinants of yield gap in both production systems. These objectives were analyzed using: Gross Margin Budgetary analysis, Stochastic Frontier and Linear Regression Model respectively. The result shows that the gross margin for rain fed production system is ₦28,147.88 per hectare while, that of irrigated rice production system is ₦45,944.91 per hectare. The technical efficiency of rain fed rice production in the study area is 0.830 while that of irrigated rice production is 0.927. The determinants of yield gap in rain fed rice production system are: household size, family labour usage, urea fertilizer usage, farm size and variety of seed planted. The determinants of yield gap in irrigated rice production system are: farming experience, membership of association, farm size, and variety of seed planted. It was concluded that rice production in the study area is more profitable under the irrigated rice production system than the rain fed production system. This research therefore recommends that irrigation facilities and farm inputs (urea fertilizer, improved rice variety) should be made available to farmers as and when due.

description: We study the exact evolution of the orbital angular momentum of a massive particle in the gravitational field of a Kerr black hole. We show analytically that, for a wide class of orbits, the angular momentum's hodograph is always close to a circle. This applies to both bounded and unbounded orbits that do not end up in the black hole. Deviations from the circular shape do not exceed $\approx10\%$ and $\approx7\%$ for bounded and unbounded orbits, respectively. We also find that nutation provides an accurate approximation for those deviations, which fits the exact curve within $\sim 0.01\%$ for the orbits of maximal deviation. Remarkably, the more the deviation, the better the nutation approximates it. Thus, we demonstrate that the orbital Lense-Thirring precession, originally obtained in the weak-field limit, is also a valid description in the general case of (almost) arbitrary exact orbits. As a by-product, we also derive the parameters of unstable spherical timelike orbits as a function of their radii and arbitrary rotation parameter $a$ and Carter's constant $Q$. We verify our results numerically for all the kinds of orbits studied.

description: In this work we consider Randall-Sundrum braneworld type scenarios, in which the spacetime is described by a five-dimensional manifold with matter fields confined in a domain wall or three-brane. We present the results of a systematic analysis, using dynamical systems techniques, of the qualitative behaviour of Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker type models, whose matter is described by a scalar field with an exponential potential. We construct the state spaces for these models and discuss how their structure changes with respect to the general-relativistic case, in particular, what new critical points appear and their nature and the occurrence of bifurcation.

description: The regional government of Tigray has invested in millions of Birr to develop irrigation schemes as a strategy of poverty reduction. The study was based on a representative sample of 613 farm households (331 irrigators and 282 non-irrigators) drawn using three stage stratified sampling with probability proportional to size. The main aim of this paper is to study the impact of irrigation on household income, therefore, to contribute to the scant literature on irrigation-poverty reduction nexus in Ethiopia, which policy makers can use it as an input to make informed policy decisions in their future endeavors. We found that farming income is more important to irrigating households than to non-irrigating households, while off-farm income is negatively related with access to irrigation. We also found that irrigating households’ average income is above the regional average, while non-irrigating households’ average income is 50 percent less than the average income of irrigating households. Although there can be other factors, which may contribute to the difference in income, these results are in line with our expectation and supports the decision of the Tigray government to use irrigation as a poverty reduction tool. We have used a stochastic dominance analysis and found that the results are consistent. This result differs from a previous study by Pender et al. (2002), which argues that irrigation has less impact in agricultural yields than expected, reducing returns to investment in modern irrigation.

Higher-order corrections to the Redfield equation with respect to the system-bath coupling based on the hierarchical equations of motion

description: The Redfield equation describes the dynamics of a quantum system weakly coupled to one or more reservoirs and is widely used in theory of open quantum system. However, the assumption of weak system-reservoir coupling is often not fully adequate and higher-order corrections to the Redfield equation with respect to the system-bath coupling is required. Here we propose a general method of derivation of higher-order corrections to the Redfield quantum master equation based on the hierarchical equations of motion (HEOM). Also we derive conditions of validity of the Redfield equation as well as the additional secular approximation for it.

description: Low energy tau pair production, at B factories and on top of the $Υ$ resonances, allows for a detailed investigation on the CP violation at the electromagnetic tau pair production vertex. High statistic available at low energies offers the opportunity for an independent analysis of CP-violation in the $τ$ lepton physics. We show that stringent and independent bounds on the $τ$ electric dipole moment, competitive with the high energy measurements, can be established in low energies experiments.

description: The purpose of the undertaken study was to evaluate the impact that the modern Hare river irrigation scheme had on household food security as well as on lifestyle changes of the population in the study site Chano Chalba. This was done on the basis of the FAO food security pillars access to food, availability of food, utilization of food and the overall factor of food stability. RRA tools were used to conduct a before-after comparison, considering a ten years period. The quantitative data was analysed using SPSS and/or Excel and simple statistical measures such as cross tabulations, frequencies, percentages and means gave a visible overview of the outcomes. The modern irrigation scheme did not affect the livelihood and food situation directly but indirectly through other modernizations that came with and after the construction of the modern main canal, e.g. road, merchants, agricultural office, health centre, drinking water points, school, electricity etc. The major trigger was the introduction of a new banana type so that farmers changed from food crops to cash crops to earn a higher income. Following, the wealth situation of the population ameliorated but less food crops are produced and people become more dependent on the local market. The infrastructure of the study site developed in a positive way but still education, especially on food issues, are needed to have a sustainable repercussion and to secure people’s health and food situation. Further positive changes on the food situation could be able if the higher income was utilized more efficiently and if the construction of the modern irrigation scheme had been more appropriate and by incorporating the farmer’s requests.
