description: This article presents analysis and synthesis of findings concerning the problem of cost-effective placement of best management practices (BMPs) emerging from NIFA CEAP and the USDA NRCS jointly-funded competitive grant projects, and future research needs. The synthesis focuses on two fundamental aspects of the cost-effectiveness problem: (1) how to assess the location- and farmer-specific costs of BMP implementation, and (2) how to decide on which BMPs need to be implemented and where within a given watershed so that a given water quality goal is achieved with the lowest possible policy outlay or a given conservation policy budget results in the best possible water quality improvement. We find that data availability remains a significant limiting factor for capturing within-watershed variability in the costs. Evolutionary algorithms have shown to provide workable ways to identify cost-effective BMP placement even for large, diverse watersheds and large numbers of potential BMPs. Future research needs include furthering the investigation, both conceptually and empirically, of the impact of the uncertainty in the BMP costs and water quality improvement benefits within the cost-effectiveness problem, and the development of the models that could consistently integrate the estimates of BMP cost components developed using alternative modeling approaches and/or attained under alternative economic conditions and for alternative geographic regions.

description: We study the effect of electron-electron backscattering interactions on spin transport in a quantum wire. Even if these interactions have no significant effect on charge transport, they strongly influence the transport of spin. We use the quantum Boltzmann equation in the collision approximation to derive equations of motion for spin current and magnetization. In the limit of small perturbations from equilibrium, we explain the existence of `precessional' and `diffusive' behaviors. We also discuss the low-temperature non-linear decay of an uniform spin current outside the hydrodynamic regime.

description: The investigation of novel electronic phases in low-dimensional quantum materials demands for the concurrent development of new measurement techniques that combine surface sensitivity with high spatial resolution and high measurement accuracy. We propose a new quantum sensing imaging modality based on superconducting charge qubits to study dissipative charge carrier dynamics with nanometer spatial and high temporal resolution. Using analytical and numerical calculations we show that superconducting charge qubit microscopy (SCQM) has the potential to resolve temperature and resistivity changes in a sample as small as $ΔT\leq0.1\;$mK and $Δρ\leq1\cdot10^{4} \,Ω\cdot$cm, respectively. Among other applications, SCQM will be especially suited to study the microscopic mechanisms underlying interaction driven quantum phase transitions, to investigate the boundary modes found in novel topological insulators and, in a broader context, to visualize the dissiaptive charge carrier dynamics occurring in mesoscopic and nanoscale devices.

description: Under the theoretical intraday microstructure framework, we analyze the impact of traders’ heterogeneous responses to market information on daily futures price and trading activity by utilizing the unique features of Class III milk futures contract. The cash settlement and classified pricing scheme distinguish milk futures from other commodities. We construct two variables, days to maturity and price deviates, to capture the distinctive features. While days to maturity indicate the length of time before cash settlement in the maturity month, price deviates reflect traders’ heterogeneous responses to weekly published information on milk prices. A structural price volatility-trading volume model is specified and is estimated using the Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo method. The results confirm that (i) the closer to cash settlement, the lower milk futures price volatility, which is opposite to the typical “Samuelson effect” for other commodity futures, and (ii) both price variability and trading volume are increasing functions of traders’ heterogeneous responses to market information and therefore are positively associated. The results can be seen as evidence that the USDA weekly published information has significant impact on price and trading activities in the milk futures market.

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: Family Fungiacyathidae Chevalier, 1987   Diagnosis. Corallum simple, cupolate, free. Septotheca horizontal to concave and usually quite fragile. Septa and costae in direct correspondence with one another, 48 or 96 of each. Costae usually thin and serrate but may be rounded and granular. Septa imperforate, composed of a single fan system of widely spaced compound trabeculae that often terminate in tall septal spines. Septal faces usually carinate. Adjacent septa united by T- or Y- shaped synapticular plates that originate from the thecal base. Pali sometimes present. Columella spongy to irregular trabecular. Dissepiments absent. Polyp completely invests corallum. Exclusively ahermatypic (see Chevalier & Beauvais 1987).
 Remarks. The diagnosis represents the emended version of this family given by Cairns (1989, p. 5), who provided detailed discussions regarding the Family Fungiacyathidae.

description: We study adiabatic quantum pumping in the resonant tunneling regime of a nearly-closed quantum dot, which is coupled to two leads via tunneling barriers. Using small cyclic variations of the tunneling rates of the barriers as the pumping mechanism, a current is obtained which depends sensitively on the system parameters and exhibits peaks due to Coulomb blockade. The distribution of the peak heights is found for temperatures $\Gam \ll k_{B} T \ll Δ$, with $\Gam$ the total decay width into the leads and $Δ$ the single-particle level spacing of the dot, and their average height is predicted to increase by a factor of $\frac{5\sqrt{2}}{18} π\approx 1.2$ upon breaking time-reversal symmetry. This is the pumping analog of the statistical theory of Coulomb blockade conductance peaks.

description: Multiple scalar fields nonminimally interacting through pure affine gravity are considered to generate primordial perturbations during an inflationary phase. The couplings considered give rise to two distinct sources of entropy perturbations that may not be suppressed in the long wavelength limit. The first is merely induced by the presence of more than one scalar and arises even in the minimal coupling limit. The second source however is restricted to nonminimal interaction. Unlike the case of metric gravity, and due to the absence of anisotropic stresses, the second source disappears for single scalar, showing that nonminimal couplings become relevant to non-adiabatic perturbations only when more than one scalar field are considered. Hence the notion of adiabaticity is not affected by the transition to minimal coupling contrary to the metric gravity case where it is confused by changing the frames. Precise data that might be able to neatly track different sources of isocurvature modes, if any, must not only distinguish between different models of inflation but also determine the most viable approach to gravity which underlies the inflationary dynamics itself.

description: Open Science holds the promise to make scientific endeavours more inclusive, participatory, understandable, accessible and re-usable for large audiences. However, making processes open will not per se drive wide reuse or participation unless also accompanied by the capacity (in terms of knowledge, skills, financial resources, technological readiness and motivation) to do so. These capacities vary considerably across regions, institutions and demographics. Those advantaged by such factors will remain potentially privileged, putting Open Science's agenda of inclusivity at risk of propagating conditions of ‘cumulative advantage’. With this paper, we systematically scope existing research addressing the question: ‘What evidence and discourse exists in the literature about the ways in which dynamics and structures of inequality could persist or be exacerbated in the transition to Open Science, across disciplines, regions and demographics?’ Aiming to synthesize findings, identify gaps in the literature and inform future research and policy, our results identify threats to equity associated with all aspects of Open Science, including Open Access, Open and FAIR Data, Open Methods, Open Evaluation, Citizen Science, as well as its interfaces with society, industry and policy. Key threats include: stratifications of publishing due to the exclusionary nature of the author-pays model of Open Access; potential widening of the digital divide due to the infrastructure-dependent, highly situated nature of open data practices; risks of diminishing qualitative methodologies as ‘reproducibility’ becomes synonymous with quality; new risks of bias and exclusion in means of transparent evaluation; and crucial asymmetries in the Open Science relationships with industry and the public, which privileges the former and fails to fully include the latter.

description: In this paper we examine whether it is possible to create a market for ecosystem services deriving from rural landscape and environmental conservation. First of all to do this we consider the results of some studies we have conducted in recent years about monetary and non-monetary environmental evaluation. These studies help us first to identify some rural landscape features which improve or worsen landscape appearance and secondly, to discover the willingness of beneficiaries to pay for maintaining these landscape and environmental resources. Then, in order to understand whether social benefits can be increased by using market and economic measures for conservation of landscape and environmental resources, we study Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES). PES are economic instruments used to support the conservation and improvement of ecosystem services. We describe PES for landscape (PaLBeS) and discuss the suitability of introducing it in favour of some ecosystem services in Italy.

description: Colorectal cancer (CRC) does not affect different sociodemographic groups uniformly. CRC screening programmes could seek to reduce this inequality; however, the screening programmes themselves might be subject to differential participation across sociodemographic groups. This study investigates the sociodemographic inequality at all steps in Denmark’s nationwide CRC screening programme: screening participation, faecal immunochemical test (FIT) results, colonoscopy compliance, CRC diagnosis, and cancer stage. This cohort study includes all first-time invitees from the beginning of the Danish population-based CRC screening programme from 1 March 2014 to 31 December 2017. Sixty-four percent of the invitees participated in the screening programme, and of those 7% were FIT-positive. After being invited to further diagnostic procedures, 90% responded to the invitation, and among those 5% were CRC-positive. Among those diagnosed with CRC, 9% were stage IV. Through multivariable analyses, we identified sociodemographic inequalities in all steps of the screening programme from returning a stool sample to being diagnosed with CRC. Specifically, we identified inequalities across sex, age, migration status, relationship status, the screening status of one’s partner, education, income, and use of health services. Women were more likely to participate compared to men (RR = 1.13; 95% CI: 1.12–1.13), but had a lower risk of a positive FIT result (RR = 0.67; 95% CI: 0.66–0.68) and of a CRC diagnosis (RR = 0.88; 95% CI: 0.82–0.93) compared to men. The likelihood of participating as well as the risk of positive FIT results and CRC diagnosis increased with age. All steps of the screening programme were subject to sociodemographic inequalities. Interventions are needed to target groups identified as having lower uptake as well as high-risk of being FIT- and/or CRC-positive. These groups include males, individuals aged 60+ years and individuals who do not visit their GP regularly.

description: Polarized inclusive deep-inelastic diffractive scattering is dealt with in a quantum field theoretic approach. The process can be described in the general framework of non-forward scattering processes using the light-cone expansion in the generalized Bjorken region applying the generalized optical theorem. The diffractive structure functions $g_1^{D(3)}$ and $g_2^{D(3)}$ are calculated in the twist-2 approximation and are expressed by diffractive parton distributions, which are derived from pseudo-scalar two-variable operator expectation values. In this approximation the structure functions $g_2^{D(3)}$ is obtained from $g_1^{D(3)}$ by a Wandzura-Wilczek relation similar as for deep inelastic scattering. The evolution equations are given. We also comment on the higher twist contributions in the light-cone expansion.

description: Economic risk management tools in agriculture have been the subject of renewed interest and profound evolution, not only for the their increasing diffusion in national policies in support of agriculture but also in relation to the important role that they could have in adapting agriculture to climate change within the measures of the future CAP. The contribution that economic tools for risk management can bring in this context is related in particular to their flexibility and adaptability to farm needs. Starting from an analysis of tools currently in use at international level and taking into consideration the Italian experience in risk management at national level (the National Solidarity Fund), this paper aims at highlighting both the potential and limitations of risk management tools in the context of the new CAP and its challenges. In fact, in order to be effective, these tools need strong integration in a wider framework of policies and actions on climate change adaptation. Moreover, it is crucial that, when designing these tools, consistency with other key agricultural objectives is ensured, most notably food security and environmental sustainability.

The role of voting intention in public opinion polarization

description: We introduce and study a simple model for the dynamics of voting intention in a population of agents that have to choose between two candidates. The level of indecision of a given agent is modeled by its propensity to vote for one of the two alternatives, represented by a variable $p \in [0,1]$. When an agent $i$ interacts with another agent $j$ with propensity $p_j$, then $i$ either increases its propensity $p_i$ by $h$ with probability $P_{ij}=ωp_i+(1-ω)p_j$, or decreases $p_i$ by $h$ with probability $1-P_{ij}$, where $h$ is a fixed step. We analyze the system by a rate equation approach and contrast the results with Monte Carlo simulations. We found that the dynamics of propensities depends on the weight $ω$ that an agent assigns to its own propensity. When all the weight is assigned to the interacting partner ($ω=0$), agents' propensities are quickly driven to one of the extreme values $p=0$ or $p=1$, until an extremist absorbing consensus is achieved. However, for $ω>0$ the system first reaches a quasi-stationary state of symmetric polarization where the distribution of propensities has the shape of an inverted Gaussian with a minimum at the center $p=1/2$ and two maxima at the extreme values $p=0,1$, until the symmetry is broken and the system is driven to an extremist consensus. A linear stability analysis shows that the lifetime of the polarized state, estimated by the mean consensus time $τ$, diverges as $τ\sim (1-ω)^{-2} \ln N$ when $ω$ approaches $1$, where $N$ is the system size. Finally, a continuous approximation allows to derive a transport equation whose convection term is compatible with a drift of particles from the center towards the extremes.

description: Azoreductases are potent biocatalysts for the cleavage of azo bonds. Various gene sequences coding for potential azoreductases are available in databases, but many of their gene products are still uncharacterized. To avoid the laborious heterologous expression in a host organism, we developed a screening approach involving cell-free protein synthesis (CFPS) combined with a colorimetric activity assay, which allows the parallel screening of putative azoreductases in a short time. First, we evaluated different CFPS systems and optimized the synthesis conditions of a model azoreductase. With the findings obtained, 10 azoreductases, half of them undescribed so far, were screened for their ability to degrade the azo dye methyl red. All novel enzymes catalyzed the degradation of methyl red and can therefore be referred to as azoreductases. In addition, all enzymes degraded the more complex and bulkier azo dye Brilliant Black and four of them also showed the ability to reduce p-benzoquinone. NADH was the preferred electron donor for the most enzymes, although the synthetic nicotinamide co-substrate analogue 1-benzyl-1,4-dihydronicotinamide (BNAH) was also accepted by all active azoreductases. This screening approach allows accelerated identification of potential biocatalysts for various applications.

description: A search is presented for a narrow resonance decaying to a pair of oppositely charged muons using $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV proton-proton collision data recorded at the LHC. In the 45-75 and 110-200 GeV resonance mass ranges, the search is based on conventional triggering and event reconstruction techniques. In the 11.5-45 GeV mass range, the search uses data collected with dimuon triggers with low transverse momentum thresholds, recorded at high rate by storing a reduced amount of trigger-level information. The data correspond to integrated luminosities of 137 fb$^{-1}$ and 96.6 fb$^{-1}$ for conventional and high-rate triggering, respectively. No significant resonant peaks are observed in the probed mass ranges. The search sets the most stringent constraints to date on a dark photon in the $\sim$30-75 and 110-200 GeV mass ranges.

description: Treatment for disseminated testicular cancer increases the risk of secondary malignancy and cardiovascular disease. The risk of developing these serious adverse effects may be positively affected by healthy living. The purpose of this study was to identify health behaviours with possible influence on late effects that could be targets for intervention. In this cross-sectional study, testicular cancer survivors diagnosed in the period 1984–2007 from the Danish Testicular Cancer database completed a questionnaire on health behaviours (2014–2016). We estimated prevalence of smoking, alcohol consumption, sedentary lifestyle and overweight. Prevalence ratios described with 95% confidence intervals of adverse health behaviours were stratified by treatment modalities and compared to a reference population by means of logistic regression with adjustment for sociodemographic confounders. In total, 2395 testicular cancer survivors (surveillance, 1175; chemotherapy, 897; radiotherapy, 323), median time since diagnosis 19 years, and 65,289 noncancer males were included, questionnaire response rates were 60% and 54%, respectively. There were more current smokers (prevalence ratio; 1.14, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.03–1.26) and patients with body mass index above 25 kg/m2 (prevalence ratio; 1.10, 95% CI: 1.01–1.20) among testicular cancer survivors than in the reference population. Testicular cancer survivors reported less sedentary lifestyle (prevalence ratio; 95% CI: 0.74, 0.64–0.85) and everyday drinkers were fewer (prevalence ratio; 0.79, 95% CI: 0.68–0.92) than in the reference population. We identified smoking cessation as primary target for intervention studies in testicular cancer survivors. The effect of smoking cessation interventions as part of treatment should be investigated. Whether drug-based intervention is effective in minimising the risk of exposure to conventional risk factors for cardiovascular disease is also of interest.

description: The wine market is facing new challenges that require a high degree of competitiveness. To support the agricultural sector the European Commission has issued regulations (Regulation 510/2006 followed by Regulation 1151/2012) regarding the protected designations of origin (PDO) and protected geographical indications (PGI). These measures are part of the common agricultural policy (CAP) and affect, among others, the wine sector. The objectives of Regulations 510/2006 and 1151/2012 are to promote rural economies, enhance internal markets and increase consumer choice and information. We applied a choice experiment to understand whether the new PDO Regulation has a positive effect on the Prosecco wine market. Five attributes were considered: using grapes from local biotypes, protection of the traditional landscape, traceability, place of production and finally, price. Our results indicate that the production area appears to be an important attribute in guiding consumers’ purchasing decisions. The research also showed that consumers seem to attribute great importance to other characteristics of Prosecco, in particular, the use of grapes from local biotypes. The latter has more influence than the area of origin on the propensity to buy Prosecco for 64% of the sample.

In particular, an invariant measure associated with Ricatti variable r_n=x_{n+1}/x_{n} is shown to exhibit plateaux around all rational.

description: Reflexive polytopes have been studied from viewpoints of combinatorics, commutative algebra and algebraic geometry. A nef-partition of a reflexive polytope $\mathcal{P}$ is a decomposition $\mathcal{P}=\mathcal{P}_1+\cdots+\mathcal{P}_r$ such that each $\mathcal{P}_i$ is a lattice polytope containing the origin. Batyrev and van Straten gave a combinatorial method for explicit constructions of mirror pairs of Calabi-Yau complete intersections obtained from nef-partitions. In the present paper, by means of Gröbner basis techniques, we give a large family of nef-partitions arising from unimodular configurations.

description: One of the main aims of the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) is the adoption of conservation measures to prevent the overexploitation of fish stocks and the resolution of potential conflicts between fishing and other activities. It is necessary to find solutions capable of pursuing compatibility between use and conservation of the marine environment, with a specific focus on the human activities taking place in the different areas of the coastal strip. This paper analyses the fisheries and aquaculture industry of Veneto region, which is part of the broader Mediterranean context, and it suggests an operations management model for the North Adriatic coast, in the light of the constraints imposed and the opportunities offered by the new CFP.

description: We numerically obtain the conformal spectrum of several classical spin models on a two-dimensional lattice with open boundaries, for every boundary fixed point obtained by the Cardy's derivation [J. L. Cardy, Nucl. Phys. B 324, 581 (1989)]. In order to extract accurate conformal data, we implement the tensor network renormalization algorithm [G. Evenbly and G. Vidal, Phys. Rev. Lett. 115, 180405 (2015)] extended so as to be applicable to a square lattice with open boundaries. We successfully compute the boundary conformal spectrum consistent with the underlying boundary conformal field theories (BCFTs) for the Ising, tri-critical Ising, and 3-state Potts models on the lattice, which allows us to confirm the validity of the BCFT analyses for the surface critical behaviors of those lattice models.

description: It is now widely acknowledged that almost all human activity is seriously dependent on energy produced from fossil fuels. Energy consumption is one of the most reliable indicators of the development and quality of life of a country and the need to satisfy the demand for energy over a certain time period is the basis of energy planning. The increasing demand for energy and the expected shortage in the long term solicit new strategies to fill the widening demand-supply gap. The European Commission intends to implement these strategies in a context where both environmental and social goals are considered. It is recognized that a sustainable strategy must be addressed to achieve, first of all, the following goals: guarantee the security of the energy market; minimize the environmental impact; avoid the social consequences of energy shortage; improve the quality of life in rural areas and encourage diversification of the rural economy. In recent years the RES based on agricultural production has rendered agriculture multifunctional in the context of the EU Agricultural Policy. In this view, awareness of the multifunctional character of agriculture can act as a useful means for identifying the importance of social, environmental and economic functions, and define the best balance between them. Bioenergy production, as a function of multifunctional agriculture, can be used so as to reduce to the minimum the impact on the environment; it can also, in rural or in developing areas, enhance employment and contribute to improving this balance.

description: Lung cancer patients struggle with high toxicity rates. This study investigates if IMRT plans with individually set beam angles or uni-lateral VMAT plans results in dose reduction to OARs. We investigate if introduction of a RapidPlan model leads to reduced dose to OARs. Finally, the model is validated prospectively. Seventy-four consecutive lung cancer patients treated with IMRT were included. For all patients, new IMRT plans were made by an experienced dose planner re-tuning beam angles aiming for minimized dose to the lungs and heart. Additionally, VMAT plans were made. The IMRT plans were selected as input for a RapidPlan model, which was used to generate 74 new IMRT plans. The new IMRT plans were used as input for a second RapidPlan model. This model was clinically implemented and used for generation of clinical treatment plans. Dosimetric parameters were compared using a Wilcoxon signed rank test or a 1-sided student’s t-test. p IMRT plans significantly reduced mean doses to lungs (MLD) and heart (MHD) by 1.6 Gy and 1.7 Gy in mean compared to VMAT plans. MLD was significantly (p p Introduction of RapidPlan and beam angles selected based on the target and OARs position reduces dose to OARs.
Weak localization in InSb thin films heavily doped with lead

description: The paper reports on the investigations of the weak localization (WL) effects in 3D polycrystalline thin films of InSb. The films are closely compensated showing the electron concentration n>10^{16} cm^{-3} at the total concentration of the donor and acceptor type structural defects >10^{18} cm^{-3}. Unless Pb-doped, the InSb films do not show any measurable or show very small WL effect at 4.2 K. The Pb-doping to the concentration of the order of 10^{18} cm^{-3} leads to pronounced WL effects below 7 K. In particular, a clearly manifested SO scattering is observed. From the comparison of the experimental data on temperature dependence of the magnetoresistivity and sample resistance with the WL theory, the temperature dependence of the phase destroying time is determined. The determination is performed by fitting theoretical terms obtained from Kawabata's theory to experimental data on magnetoresistance. It is concluded that the dephasing process is connected to three separate interaction processes. The first is due to the SO scatterings and is characterized by temperature-independent relaxation time. The second is associated with the electron-phonon interaction. The third dephasing process is characterized by independent on temperature relaxation time tau_c. This relaxation time is tentatively ascribed to inelastic scattering at extended structural defects, like grain boundaries. The resulting time dephasing time shows saturation in its temperature dependence. The temperature dependence of the resistance of the InSb films can be explained by the electron-electron interaction for T<1 K, and by the WL effect for T>2 K.

description: We investigate the existence of the skyrmion field in the background of an asymptotically flat stationary reflecting star. For this purpose, we consider the Einstein Skyrme system for which there is a skyrmion hair in the black hole case. We discuss spherically symmetric skyrmions and employ the hedgehog ansatz for the skyrmion field. We show that, in contrast to the black hole there is no skyrmion hair for a reflecting star.
