description: The study examined the determinants of informal credit delinquencies among food crop farmers in rural Niger Delta of Nigeria using Akwa Ibom State as a case study. A multi-stage random sampling technique was adopted to select 96 beneficiaries and structured questionnaires as well as personal interview were used to collect data. Probit and logit models were used to analyse the factors influencing credit delinquency among food crop farmers in the state. Result of the descriptive analysis of the socio-economic characteristic of respondents revealed that 93% of male and 72% of female food crop farmers had one form of formal education ranging from primary to tertiary education. Empirical result from the Probit and logit models were similar and showed that borrower’s non-farm income, credit amount received, household size, net farm profit and farm size are determinants of credit delinquencies among food crop farmers in Akwa Ibom state. The study also discovered that the probability of food crop farmers being credit delinquent is about 0.427 ceteris paribus. It is recommended that food crop farmers should form marketing co-operative societies as a means of generating additional income to augment loan obtained. Furthermore, local government authorities should set up credit programmes that should focus on soft loans to rural farmers at a subsidize interest rate.

description: We present 30 optical spectra and 49 photometric epochs sampling the first 517 days after discovery of supernova (SN) 1999em, and derive its distance through the expanding photosphere method (EPM). SN 1999em is shown to be a Type II-plateau (II-P) event, with a photometric plateau lasting until about 100 days after explosion. We identify the dominant ions responsible for most of the absorption features seen in the optical portion of the spectrum during the plateau phase. We find the distance to SN 1999em to be D = 8.2 +/- 0.6 Mpc, with an explosion date of 5.3 +/- 1.4 days before discovery. We examine potential sources of systematic error in EPM-derived distances, and find the most significant to result from uncertainty in the theoretical modeling of the flux distribution emitted by the SN photosphere (i.e., the ``flux dilution factor''). We compare previously derived EPM distances to 5 SNe II in galaxies for which a recently revised Cepheid distance exists from the HST Key Project and find D(Cepheids) / D(EPM) = 0.96 +/- 0.09. Finally, we investigate the possible use of SNe II-P as standard candles and find that for 8 photometrically confirmed SNe II-P with previously derived EPM distances and SN 1999em, the mean plateau absolute brightness is M_V(plateau) = -16.4 +/- 0.6 mag, implying that distances good to ~30% (1-sigma) may be possible without the need for a complete EPM analysis. At M_V(plateau) = -15.9 +/- 0.2 mag, SN 1999em is somewhat fainter than the average SN II-P. The general consistency of absolute SNe II-P brightness during the plateau suggests that the standard candle assumption may allow SNe II-P to be viable cosmological beacons at z > 2.

description: We develop a static simulation model to analyse income losses and income risks at aggregated agriculture sector level. Our empirical case study is based on farm level records for direct payments claims (IACS data) and covers the period 2010–2011. Using Monte Carlo simulations, we investigate the impact of different levels of risk on income trends. Results show that 80% of farms are extremely dependent on direct payments. Farm production types highly supported by direct payments consequentially fall into the low-risk group. Results show that a significant share of income loss at sector level is carried by small farms (by economic class). Average probability of larger losses at the sector level ranges between 2% and 64%. Our results also indicate that larger farms often have better risk-return ratios and thus face lower relative income risks.

description: Spin-polarized tunneling in FMS/M/FMS double tunnel junctions where FMSs are ferromagnetic semiconductor layers and M is a metal spacer is studied theoretically within the single-site coherent potential approximation (CPA). The exchange interaction between a conduction electron and localized moment of the magnetic ion is treated in the framework of the s-f model. The spin polarization in the FMS layers is observed to oscillates as a function of the number of atomic planes in the spacer layer. Amplitude of these oscillations decreases with increasing the exchange interaction in FMS layers.

Cohomology and deformation theory of monoidal 2-categories I

Subjects: subject: Quantum Algebra (math.QA)

description: We define a cohomology for an arbitrary $K$-linear semistrict semigroupal 2-category $(\mathfrak{C},\otimes)$ (called in the paper a Gray semigroup) and show that its first order (unitary) deformations, up to the suitable notion of equivalence, are in one-one correspondence with the elements of the second cohomology group. Fundamental to the construction is a double complex, similar to Gerstenhaber-Schack's double complex for bialgebras. We also identify the cohomologies describing separately the deformations of the tensor product, the associator and the pentagonator. To obtain these results, a cohomology theory for an arbitrary $K$-linear unitary pseudofunctor is introduced describing its purely pseudofunctorial deformations, and generalizing Yetter's cohomology for semigroupal functors. The corresponding higher order obstructions will be considered in a future paper.

description: The paper assessed agricultural production systems from a sustainability perspective defined in terms of relatively homogeneous agro-ecological zones of Africa, using the framework of a production function. Data used were drawn from FAOSTAT, the National Centre for Atmospheric Research and World Bank Indicators respectively for the period 1961-2009. The data were separated into three sub periods, namely: entire period (1961-2009), the pre-Structural Adjustment Period (SAP) reform period (1961-1985) and the post SAP reform period (1986-2009). This was necessitated by the need to examine whether production systems may have been shifted out of the overall trajectory of system evolution by shocks e.g. policy (SAP) among others. To investigate whether there has been a degradation of the quality of the natural resource base across the diverse agro-ecological zones; the estimated TFP trends were related to changes in selected resource quality variables over time. The results showed that the Northern and Southern agro-ecological zones had non-negative trends in TFP, indicating sustainability of production systems. However, the result indicated that the policy instrument (structural adjustment programme) may have shifted farming or production systems out of the overall trajectory of system evolution in three out of the five agro-ecological zones studied which showed negative TFP trends. A degradation of resource quality over time was noted during the pre-SAP reform period, but was maintained during the post-SAP period.

description: This paper is devoted to introduce a topology on BL-algebras, makes them semitopological algebras. For any BL-algebra $\mathcal{L}=(L, \wedge, \vee, *, \to , 0, 1)$, the introduced topology is defined by a distance-like function between elements of $L$ which is defined by $a \leftrightarrow b=(a\to b)*(b\to a)$. We will show that when the continuous scale $[0,1]$ is endowed to be a BL-algebra, then this topology admits some of the most important properties of the metric topology. Finally, we will show that this topology can be examined by a similar topology on dual of BL-algebras as well.

description: Broad applications of cobalt nanoparticles (CoNPs) have raised increased concerns regarding their potential toxicity. However, the underlining mechanisms of their toxicity have yet to be characterized. Here, we demonstrated that CoNPs reduced cell viability and induced membrane leakage. CoNPs induced oxidative stress, as indicated by the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) secondary to the increased expression of hypoxia-induced factor 1 alpha. Moreover, CoNPs led to mitochondrial damage, including generation of mitochondrial ROS, reduction in ATP content, morphological damage and autophagy. Interestingly, exogenous mitochondria were observed between neurons and astrocytes upon CoNPs exposure. Concomitantly, tunneling nanotubes (TNTs)-like structures were observed between neurons and astrocytes upon CoNPs exposure. These structures were further verified to be TNTs as they were found to be F-actin rich and lacking tubulin. We then demonstrated that TNTs were utilized for mitochondrial transfer between neurons and astrocytes, suggesting a novel crosstalk phenomenon between these cells. Moreover, we found that the inhibition of TNTs (using actin-depolymerizing drug latrunculin B) intensified apoptosis triggered by CoNPs. Therefore, we demonstrate, for the first time, that the inhibition of intercellular mitochondrial transfer via TNTs aggravates CoNPs-induced cellular and mitochondrial toxicity in neuronal cells, implying a novel intercellular protection mechanism in response to nanoparticle exposure.
Multi-View Matrix Completion for Multi-Label Image Classification

description: There is growing interest in multi-label image classification due to its critical role in web-based image analytics-based applications, such as large-scale image retrieval and browsing. Matrix completion has recently been introduced as a method for transductive (semi-supervised) multi-label classification, and has several distinct advantages, including robustness to missing data and background noise in both feature and label space. However, it is limited by only considering data represented by a single-view feature, which cannot precisely characterize images containing several semantic concepts. To utilize multiple features taken from different views, we have to concatenate the different features as a long vector. But this concatenation is prone to over-fitting and often leads to very high time complexity in MC based image classification. Therefore, we propose to weightedly combine the MC outputs of different views, and present the multi-view matrix completion (MVMC) framework for transductive multi-label image classification. To learn the view combination weights effectively, we apply a cross validation strategy on the labeled set. In the learning process, we adopt the average precision (AP) loss, which is particular suitable for multi-label image classification. A least squares loss formulation is also presented for the sake of efficiency, and the robustness of the algorithm based on the AP loss compared with the other losses is investigated. Experimental evaluation on two real world datasets (PASCAL VOC' 07 and MIR Flickr) demonstrate the effectiveness of MVMC for transductive (semi-supervised) multi-label image classification, and show that MVMC can exploit complementary properties of different features and output-consistent labels for improved multi-label image classification.

description: Recently, Combined cancer photothermal-chemotherapy has become a highly promising strategy in cancer treatment for its enhanced therapeutic efficacy, controlled drug release and reduced systemic toxicity. Almost all the reported strategies based on photothermal-chemotherapy have only focused on the treatment of superficial or subcutaneous cancer, which are not considered as a more clinically relevant and better predictive models of drug efficacy than orthotopic tumor models. Here, we reported an EphB4 receptor-targeting polymeric nanoplatform containing hollow gold nanospheres (HAuNS) and the anticancer drug paclitaxel (PTX) for cancer photothermal-chemotherapy. With the modification of the TNYL peptide, HP-TCS could specifically internalize into EphB4-positive SKOV3 and CT26 cells, further inducing the selective killing of the cells in co-cultured system, namely, EphB4-positive and EphB4-negative cells. Obvious targeting of the micelles into implanted orthotopic or subcutaneous tumors with high EphB4 expression was observed. Interestingly, increased accumulation of HP-TCS was observed in orthotopic colon tumors when compared with ectopic tumors. Highly specific accumulation of HP-TCS in EphB4-positive tumors significantly increased the feasibility of photothermal-chemotherapy mediated by the near infrared reflection (NIR) laser. Then, a systemic antitumor efficiency study was performed in implanted subcutaneous and visual orthotopic tumor models. Precise NIR laser irradiation could be localized on tumors under the guidance of B-mode ultrasound imaging, causing a rapid photothermal ablation effect limited to the region of tumors. Tumor growth was significantly inhibited by the photothermal-chemotherapy due to the triggered release of PTX. Our study provided a promising strategy of NIR laser-mediated photothermal-chemotherapy based on HP-TCS against the tumors (specially, deep orthotopic tumors) with high EphB4 expression.

description: Employing a field dependent three-momentum cut-off regularization technique, we study the phase structure and mesonic masses using the $2$-flavour Nambu-Jona Lasinio model at finite temperature and density in presence of arbitrary external magnetic field. This approach is then applied to incorporate the effects of the anomalous magnetic moment(AMM) of quarks on constituent quark mass and thermodynamic observables as a function of temperature/baryonic density. The critical temperature for transition from chiral symmetry broken to the restored phase is observed to decrease with the external magnetic field, which can be classified as inverse magnetic catalysis, while an opposite behaviour is realized in the case of a vanishing magnetic moment, implying magnetic catalysis. These essential features are also reflected in the phase diagram. Furthermore, the properties of the low lying scalar and neutral pseudoscalar mesons are also studied in presence of a hot and dense magnetized medium including AMM of the quarks using random phase approximation. For non-zero values of magnetic field, we notice a sudden jump in the mass of the Goldstone mode at and above the Mott transition temperature which is found to decrease substantially with the increase in magnetic field when the AMM of the quarks are taken into consideration.

Around 0.6 T this undergoes what is very likely a first-order transition to square symmetry, with the nearest neighbors oriented along the gap node directions. This orientation of the square FLL is consistent with theoretical predictions based on the d-wave order parameter symmetry.

description: We examine theoretical features of $U(1)_X$ extensions of the Standard Model whose quantum anomalies are canceled per generation. Similarly to other versions, the theory consists of a Two-Higgs-Doublet Model plus a scalar singlet embedded into the $SM \otimes U(1)_X$ gauge group, and introduces small modifications to the $Z$-boson interactions. These changes can be minimized by exclusively charging right-handed fermions under the new Abelian symmetry, and are compensated by the neutral $X$-boson exchange. Non-universality of fermion couplings can also be achieved by requiring one single $X$-charged family. In general, $X$ gauge bosons can be separated into $A'$ (dark photons) and $Z'$ subsets, distinguished by the presence of axial-vector currents. $A'$ physics is commonly simpler to constrain and therefore favored by experimental tests. Finally, the model can be UV completed both by stable $χ$ fermions or by right-handed neutrinos. The prior case may provide cold WIMPs in the theory.

Nested Bars in Disk Galaxies: No Offset Dust Lanes in Secondary Nuclear Bars

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Under certain conditions, sub-kpc nuclear bars form inside large-scale stellar bars of disk galaxies. These secondary bars spend a fraction of their lifetime in a dynamically-decoupled state, tumbling in the gravitational field of the outer bars. We analyze the flow pattern in such nested bar systems and find that secondary bars differ fundamentally from their large-scale counterparts. In particular the gas flow across the bar-bar interface in these systems can be more chaotic or more regular in nature, and, contrary to predictions, has no difficulty in penetrating the secondary bars. The outer parts of both short and long nuclear bars (with respect to their corotation) appear to be depopulated of gas, while deep inside them the flow exhibits low Mach numbers and follows ovally-shaped orbits with little dissipation. We find that gas-dominated and star-dominated nuclear bars avoid the bar-bar interface, making both types of bars short relative to their corotation. Furthermore, our earlier work has shown that dynamically-coupled secondary bars exhibit a similarly relaxed low-dissipation flow as well. Therefore, no large-scale shocks form in the nuclear bars, and consequently, no offset dust lanes are expected there. We find that offset dust lanes cannot be used in the search for secondary (nuclear) bars.

description: The study was aimed at mapping the dairy value chain, assessing constraints and opportunities in the sector, and identifying factors affecting channel choices of producers in Harar and Dire Dawa milkshed areas. Data were collected from 93 producers, six collectors, seven wholesalers, seven retailers, and ten consumers. Both descriptive and econometric analysis were employed. The study revealed that the channel choices available to producers include selling to collectors, wholesalers, retailers, and directly to consumers. The multinomial model output indicated that being in rural areas, breed type, separate milking place, and supply of hay negatively determined the choice to sell to wholesalers, retailers, and consumers. In contrast, education status and milk storage duration positively determined producers’ choice not to sell to collectors. The major recommendations include provision of training, disseminating dairy technologies, encouraging value chain actors to add values; and enhancing collective actions of producers.

In our pursuit to generate a homogeneous database of elemental abundances of CH stars we have performed a detailed chemical abundance study for a sample of 12 potential CH star candidates based on high resolution spectroscopy. We present first time abundance analysis for the objects HE 0308-1612, CD-28 1082, HD 30443, and HD 87853. For the other objects, although limited information is available, detailed chemical composition studies are missing. Our analysis shows CD-28 1082 to be a very metal-poor object with [Fe/H] = -2.45 and enriched in carbon with [C/Fe] = 2.19. With a ratio of [Ba/Eu] ~ 0.02 the star satisfies the classification criteria of a CEMP-r/s star. The objects CD-38 2151 with [Fe/H] = -2.03 and HD 30443 with [Fe/H] ~ -1.68 are found to show the characteristic properties of CH stars. HE 0308-1612 and HD 87853 are found to be moderately metal-poor with [Fe/H]~ -0.73; while HE 0308-1612 is moderately enhanced with carbon ([C/Fe] ~ 0.78) and shows the spectral properties of CH stars, the abundance of carbon could not be estimated for HD 87853. Among the two moderately metal-poor objects, HD 87080 ([Fe/H] = -0.48) shows near solar carbon abundance, and HD 176021 ([Fe/H] = -0.63) is mildly enhanced in carbon with [C/Fe] = 0.52. HD 176021 along with HD 202020 a known binary, exhibit the characteristic properties of CH stars as far as the heavy element abundances are concerned. Five objects in our sample show spectral properties that are normally seen in barium stars.

description: Zero knowledge proofs gained a lot of attention over the last few years in the security domain. With the rising number of zero knowledge proof languages, the need for compiler testing should also be considered. Since the very early days of programming, automated software testing is an important part of quality management, especially for critical infrastructure such as compilers. In this thesis, we propose and implement a testing framework which utilizes metamorphic testing and evaluate it on the Circom language. Metamorphic testing on zero knowledge proof infrastructure has not been done before and is the main contribution of this work. The proposed framework consists of metamorphic transformers, oracles and two fuzzers which are utilized to generate new test instances and verify them. The experiments revealed new challenges when applying metamorphic testing in this context. The results exposed 3 bugs while covering 33.02% of the lines in the Circom compiler. Additionally, the time consumption of the coverage instrumentations are measured.

description: Wheat for food use is conceptualised as an input into flour production and demand is derived from an industry profit function to quantify price responsiveness and economic substitutability across wheat classes. Price and substitution elasticities are estimated for hard red winter, hard red spring, soft red wheat, soft white winter and durum wheat. In general, hard red winter and spring wheat varieties are much more responsive to their own price than are soft wheat varieties and durum wheat. Substitution elasticities indicate that hard red winter and hard red spring wheat are economic substitutes for milling purposes.

description: Software verification is a tedious process that involves the analysis of multiple failed verification attempts, and adjustments of the program or specification. This is especially the case for complex requirements, e.g., regarding security or fairness, when one needs to compare multiple related runs of the same software. Verification tools often provide counterexamples consisting of program inputs when a proof attempt fails, however it is often not clear why the reported counterexample leads to a violation of the checked property. In this paper, we enhance this aspect of the software verification process by providing DIbugger, a tool for analyzing counterexamples of relational properties, allowing the user to debug multiple related programs simultaneously.

description: A multiproduct spatial equilibrium model of world steel trade is presented in this paper. The model is used to analyse the impacts of the safeguard trade barriers brought about by the USA in order to protect their domestic industry from the so-called unfair competition. Emphasis is placed on the likely effect on the Australian industry and possible policy responses available to the industry. A case study is made of Australia’s three largest export products; namely, slab, hot-rolled and cold-rolled steel, which share some substitutability in supply and demand because of the nature of the industry. As a result of the safeguard barriers to steel trade, world steel prices fell and trade shifted away from the USA to other importing regions.

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: A microscopic theory is developed to analyze the dynamics of exciton formation out of incoherent carriers in semiconductor heterostructures. The carrier Coulomb and phonon interaction is included consistently. A cluster expansion method is used to systematically truncate the hierarchy problem. By including all correlations up to the four-point (i.e. two-particle) level, the fundamental fermionic substructure of excitons is fully included. The analysis shows that the exciton formation is an intricate process where Coulomb correlations rapidly build up on a picosecond time scale while phonon dynamics leads to true exciton formation on a slow nanosecond time scale.
