description: The quasiparticle excitations in the mixed state of Cd2Re2O7 have been studied by means of muon spin rotation/relaxation. The temperature dependence of the magnetic penetration depth (lambda) is consistent with a nearly isotropic superconducting order parameter, although a slight discrepancy which is dependent on the details in the analysis may be present. This is also supported by the relatively weak field dependence of lambda.

description: Two tetrahedral metal-organic polyhedra (MOPs) constructed from Anderson-like alkoxo-polyoxovanadate clusters, [NH2Me2]8{[V6O6(OCH3)9(SO4)]4(2,6-NDC)6}(MeOH)15(DMA)9 (1) and [NH2Me2]8{[V6O6(OCH3)9(C6H5PO3)]4(2,6-NDC)6}(MeOH)9(DMA)10 (2), were synthesized under solvothermal conditions. They are isomorphic tetrahedra composed of 3-connected [V6O6(OCH3)9(X)] SBUs and rigid bidentate ligand 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid (NDC). The difference between the two structures is modification of the inner cage in 2 by introduction of phenylphosphonic acid. The space inside the molecular cage was reduced from 1100 Å3 to 700 Å3 after introduction of phenylphosphonic acid, as calculated by the VIODOO program. Interestingly, the iodine adsorption performance of 2 was improved by more than three times compared to 1 after the introduction of phenylphosphonic acid. These findings may provide new insights into the modification and functionalization within the cage of MOPs.

description: With the motivation to reduce pressures on natural resources, and biodiversity, in particular, the 2013 Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) reform introduced ‘Greening rules’, which farmers have to meet to receive a greening payment as part of their total CAP payment. Concerns have been raised by practitioners and scientists since, questioning the effectiveness and fairness of Greening. Yet empirical evidence for the effects of Greening is still insufficient. This paper examines how Greening and an alternative biodiversity oriented scenario affect the land use pattern and income of different farm types in three northern German regions (Diepholz, Uelzen, Oder-Spree). A bio-economic modelling framework is used to implement the scenario. The results show that Greening has only moderate impact on land use patterns and at the same time causes only low compliance costs. Our alternative scenario could deliver a higher biodiversity impact in terms of area with goal oriented measures but also leads to higher on-farm costs. Nevertheless, compliance costs are also in this scenario far below the current payment Level.
Η πρόσφατη πανδημία θα επηρεάσει την γαμηλιότητα στην Ελλάδα; (Ηow CODIV-19 will affect marriages and nuptiality in Greece?) DIRAP,FLASH NEWS 2,2021

description: COVID-19 has affected all developed countries and, so far, particular emphasis has been placed on the effects of the pandemic on mortality. However, the question that arises is whether it will affect only mortality and not the other key demographic components, especially in countries such as Greece, affected significantly by the economic crisis in the last decade. Even if it is still too early to evaluate the CODIV impact on nuptiality, we estimate that its effects will be directly reflected in marriages which will collapse in 2020 and 2021. However, this reduction will lead to a decrease in births as, in Greece, 88% of them are inside a marriage, while the difference between the average age at first marriage and that at the birth of the first child is less than one year. The pandemic, and the pre-economic crisis are also expected to affect nuptiality in the medium term, as they have led to a worsening of the general environment in which younger generations will decide whether to move towards an institutionalized cohabitation, resulting in accelerating the growth rate of celibacy in the post-1985 generations.

Η πανδημία του COVID-19 έχει επηρεάσει όλες τις ανεπτυγμένες χώρες του πλανήτη μας μειώνοντας για πρώτη φορά τις τελευταίες δεκαετίες το προσδόκιμο ζωής. Τίθεται όμως το ερώτημα εάν ο COVID-19 θα επηρεάσει μόνον την θνησιμότητα και όχι και τις άλλες δημογραφικές μεταβλητές. Στο κείμενο που ακολουθεί επιχειρούμε να δώσουμε μια πρώτη απάντηση στο ερώτημα του αν η πανδημία θα επηρεάσει την γαμηλιότητα στην Ελλάδα. Εάν και δεν διαθέτουμε ακόμη τα αναγκαία στοιχεία, εκτιμούμε ότι οι επιπτώσεις του COVID-19 θα αποτυπωθούν άμεσα στα δεδομένα των γάμων οι οποίοι θα καταρρεύσουν το 2020 και 2021. Η μείωση όμως αυτή θα συμπαρασύρει και τις γεννήσεις καθώς στην Ελλάδα το 88% του συνόλου γίνεται στα πλαίσια του γάμου με την διαφορά ανάμεσα στη μέση ηλικία τέλεσής του και σε αυτήν στη γέννηση του πρώτου παιδιού να είναι μικρότερη του έτους. Η πανδημία, και η προ αυτής οικονομική κρίση, αναμένεται να επηρεάσουν όμως και μεσοπρόθεσμα την γαμηλιότητα, καθώς έχουν οδηγήσει συσσωρευτικά στην επιδείνωση του γενικότερου περιβάλλοντος εντός του οποίου οι νεότερες γενεές θα αποφασίσουν αν θα προχωρήσουν ή όχι σε μια θεσμικά κατοχυρωμένη συμβίωση, με αποτέλεσμα την επιτάχυνση των ρυθμών αύξησης της αγαμίας στις μετά το 1985 γενεές.

description: Compared to pure fluids, binary mixtures display a very diverse phase behavior, which depends sensitively on the parameters of the microscopic potential. Here we investigate the phase diagrams of simple model mixtures by use of a microscopic implementation of the renormalization group technique. First, we consider a symmetric mixture with attractive interactions, possibly relevant for describing fluids of molecules with internal degrees of freedom. Despite the simplicity of the model, slightly tuning the strength of the interactions between unlike species drastically changes the topology of the phase boundary, forcing or inhibiting demixing, and brings about several interesting features such as double critical points, tricritical points, and coexistence domains enclosing `islands' of homogeneous, mixed fluid. Homogeneous phase separation in mixtures can be driven also by purely repulsive interactions. As an example, we consider a model of soft particles which has been adopted to describe binary polymer solutions. This is shown to display demixing (fluid-fluid) transition at sufficiently high density. The nature and the physical properties of the corresponding phase transition are investigated.

description: We obtained 0.8-2.4 micron spectra at a resolution of 320 km/s of four narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies in order to study the near-infrared properties of these objects. We focus on the analysis of the FeII emission in that region and the kinematics of the low-ionization broad lines. We found that the 1 micron FeII lines (9997 A, 10501 A, 10863 A and 11126 A) are the strongest FeII lines in the observed interval. For the first time, primary cascade lines of FeII arising from the decay of upper levels pumped by Ly-alpha fluorescence are resolved and identified in active galactic nuclei. Excitation mechanisms leading to the emission of the 1 micron FeII features are discussed. A combination of Ly-alpha fluorescence and collisional excitation are found to be the main contributors. The flux ratio between near-IR FeII lines varies from object to object, in contrast to what is observed in the optical region. A good correlation between the 1 micron and optical FeII emission is found. This suggests that the upper z4Fo and z4Do levels from which the bulk of the optical lines descend are mainly populated by the transitions leading to the 1 micron lines. The width and profile shape of FeII 11127, CaII 8642 and OI 8446 are very similar but significantly narrower than Pa-beta, giving strong observational support to the hypothesis that the region where FeII, CaII and OI are produced are co-spatial, interrelated kinematically and most probably located in the outermost portion of the BLR.

description: The literature on part-time farming suggests that off-farm income reduces risk and improves resilience. Our paper challenges this popular view. Our hypothesis is that the pursuit of off-farm activities may have negative effects on farm productivity by reducing scale and dissipating the gains from labour specialization. These productivity losses may more than offset the benefits derived from risk diversification. If this hypothesis is correct, we should observe that farmers who rely more intensely on off-farm income are also the ones least likely to adopt scale-expanding production strategies when faced with unexpected challenges. Using recent survey data from Australia, we examine the strategic reaction of farmers affected by major challenges such as drought and price volatility, distinguishing between adoption of defensive and offensive adjustment strategies. We find that off-farm income significantly reduces the likelihood of adopting offensive adaptation strategies, which supports our working hypothesis.

Electromagnetic characteristics and effective gauge theory of double-layer quantum Hall systems
Creators: name: Shizuya, K.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The electromagnetic characteristics of double-layer quantum Hall systems are studied, with projection to the lowest Landau level taken into account and intra-Landau-level collective excitations treated in the single-mode approximation. It is pointed out that dipole-active excitations, both elementary and collective, govern the long-wavelength features of quantum Hall systems. In particular, the presence of the dipole-active interlayer out-of-phase collective excitations, inherent to double-layer systems, modifies the leading O(k) and O(k^{2}) long-wavelength characteristics (i.e., the transport properties and characteristic scale) of the double-layer quantum Hall states substantially. We apply bosonization techniques and construct from such electromagnetic characteristics an effective theory, which consists of three vector fields representing the three dipole-active modes, one interlayer collective mode and two inter-Landau-level cyclotron modes. This effective theory properly incorporates the spectrum of collective excitations on the right scale of the Coulomb energy and, in addition, accommodates the favorable transport properties of the standard Chern-Simons theories.

description: We present astrochemical photo-dissociation region models in which cosmic ray attenuation has been fully coupled to the chemical evolution of the gas. We model the astrochemical impact of cosmic rays, including those accelerated by protostellar accretion shocks, on molecular clouds hosting protoclusters. Our models with embedded protostars reproduce observed ionization rates. We study the imprint of cosmic ray attenuation on ions for models with different surface cosmic ray spectra and different star formation efficiencies. We find that abundances, particularly ions, are sensitive to the treatment of cosmic rays. We show the column densities of ions are under predicted by the `classic' treatment of cosmic rays by an order of magnitude. We also test two common chemistry approximations used to infer ionization rates. We conclude that the approximation based on the H$_3^+$ abundance under predicts the ionization rate except in regions where the cosmic rays dominate the chemistry. Our models suggest the chemistry in dense gas will be significantly impacted by the increased ionization rates, leading to a reduction in molecules such as NH$_3$ and causing H$_2$-rich gas to become [C II] bright.

description: TaNbHfZr metallic glass films with thicknesses from 50 to 1000 nm were deposited on Si (100) wafers by magnetron sputtering. The surface topography and microstructure were confirmed by AFM, XRD and TEM. Nanoindentation was carried out to explore the effects of film thickness on the hardness and the deformation mechanisms. TaNbHfZr films thicker than 50 nm can effectively decrease the stress level on the Si substrate and suppress the indentation-introduced phase transition. Pile-ups took place for the thinner films (50 and 100 nm) due to the inactive thickness-dependent diffusion process, while sink-in for thicker films occur because of the high diffusion coefficient. Correction of H considering pile-ups and substrate effects was conducted to obtain the intrinsic surface hardness of ∼8 GPa. However, the corrected H for thin films with pile-up morphology are much lower as the localised plastic flow was strongly affected by the harder Si substrates and the retarded diffusion abilities of atoms.
Theory of nuclear induced spectral diffusion: Spin decoherence of phosphorus donors in Si and GaAs quantum dots

description: We propose a model for spectral diffusion of localized spins in semiconductors due to the dipolar fluctuations of lattice nuclear spins. Each nuclear spin flip-flop is assumed to be independent, the rate for this process being calculated by a method of moments. Our calculated spin decoherence time $T_{M}=0.64$ ms for donor electron spins in Si:P is a factor of two longer than spin echo decay measurements. For $^{31}$P nuclear spins we show that spectral diffusion is well into the motional narrowing regime. The calculation for GaAs quantum dots gives $T_{M}=10-50$ $μ$s depending on the quantum dot size. Our theory indicates that nuclear induced spectral diffusion should not be a serious problem in developing spin-based semiconductor quantum computer architectures.

description: Smallholder farmers in sub-Saharan Africa that sequestrate carbon through agroforestry provide ecosystem services that generate payment for ecosystem services (PES). When these farmers are inadequately compensated for the provision of additional ecosystem services they have no incentive to participate while over-compensation may lead to inefficient schemes. Stakeholders must consider farm-level interactions between agricultural production and ecosystem services’ provision when evaluating the adequate level of compensation and efficiency of PES scheme. We address this by measuring the marginal cost of ecosystem services based on farm level bio-economic interactions. A classification of the relationship between marketed agricultural output and non-marketed ecosystem services into complementary, supplementary or competitive is conducted. We use the flexible transformation function for our theoretical analysis and surveyed 120 smallholder farmers receiving PES for agroforestry carbon sequestration in Kenya. The results suggest that the joint production for a number of smallholder farms in Kenya may not be of a complementary nature. PES schemes could be designed in a more efficient manner if they would target smallholder farms based on the aforementioned classification by offering a range of contracts to encourage competitive bidding.

description: This paper is devoted to the spectral properties of a class of unitary operators with a matrix representation displaying a band structure. Such band matrices appear as monodromy operators in the study of certain quantum dynamical systems. These doubly infinite matrices essentially depend on an infinite sequence of phases which govern their spectral properties. We prove the spectrum is purely singular for random phases and purely absolutely continuous in case they provide the doubly infinite matrix with a periodic structure in the diagonal direction. We also study some properties of the singular spectrum of such matrices considered as infinite in one direction only.

description: W75N is a star-forming region containing various ultracompact HII regions and OH, water, and methanol maser emission. Our VLBA map shows that the OH masers are located in a thin disk rotating around an O-star which is the exciting star of the ultracompact HII region VLA1. A separate set of maser spots is connected with the ultracompact HII region VLA2. The radial velocity of OH maser spots varies across the disk from 3.7 km/s to 10.9 km/s. The diameter of the disk is 4000 A.U. All maser spots are strongly polarized. This are the first OH masers showing nearly 100 per cent linear polarization in several spots. Two maser spots seem to be Zeeman pairs corresponding to a magnetic field of 5.2 mgauss and 7.7 mgauss, and in one case we tentatively found a Zeeman pair consisting of two linearly polarized components. The linearly polarized maser spots are shown to be sigma-components which is the case of the magnetic field being perpendicular to the line of sight. The direction of the magnetic field as determined from linearly polarized spots is perpendicular to the plane of the disk, although the galactic Faraday rotation may significantly affect this conclusion.

description: The electronic structure and the location of muonium centers (Mu) in single-crystalline ZnO were determined for the first time. Two species of Mu centers with extremely small hyperfine parameters have been observed below 40 K. Both Mu centers have an axial-symmetric hyperfine structure along with a [0001] axis, indicating that they are located at the AB_{O,//} and BC_{//} sites. It is inferred from their small ionization energy (~6 meV and 50 meV) and hyperfine parameters (~10^{-4} times the vacuum value) that these centers behave as shallow donors, strongly suggesting that hydrogen is one of the primary origins of n type conductivity in as-grown ZnO.

description: Cointegration analysis is used to test whether the South African futures market for white maize was efficient (futures prices predict spot (cash) prices that reflect all publicly available information) in 1997 and 1998. Tests are also conducted to assess whether or not white maize futures prices are unbiased predictors of future spot prices (for effective price discovery). There was no long-run relationship between white maize futures and spot prices for 1997, but there is evidence of a long-run relationship between these price series in 1998. Furthermore, the 1998 futures price was an unbiased predictor of future spot prices for both the annual and three-month contract. This could be evidence of a market learning process and a progression towards efficiency, which has seen a marked increase in market liquidity (contract volumes traded) since late 1996.

description: In this paper, we present a new modality for intelligent interactive narratives within the theatre domain. We discuss the possibilities of using an intelligent agent that serves as a drama manager and as an actor that plays a character within the live theatre experience. We pose a set of research challenges that arise from our analysis towards the implementation of such an agent, as well as potential methodologies as a starting point to bridge the gaps between current literature and the proposed modality.

description: This paper gives a profile of a sample of a small and large sugar cane farms in the North coast region of the KwaZulu-Natal sugar cane belt. The survey was conducted during May 1995. Farms studied varied between one and 600 hectares. Values for small farms were significantly lower than large farms for human capital resources, farm resource utilisation, rate of search and utilisation of farm information, and adoption of appropriate and improved cultural farm practices. Such differences may account for the differences in farm productivity between small and large farms that exist in the South African sugar industry. A linear discriminant function model shows that small and large farms studied differ significantly on lines of human resources and cost of borrowed capital (market related). The findings of the study show that large cane farms face lower market related interest rates, are relatively better equipped in human resource capital, and are in a position to implement appropriate and recommendable farm practices (soil analysis and use of certified seedcane) compared to small farmers.

description: Directing individual motions of many constituents to coherent dynamical state is a fundamental challenge in multiple fields. Here, based on the spherical crystal model, we show that topological defects in particle arrays can be a crucial element in regulating collective dynamics. Specifically, we highlight the defect-driven synchronized breathing modes around disclinations and collective oscillations with strong connection to disruption of crystalline order. This work opens the promising possibility of an organizational principle based on topological defects, and may inspire new strategies for harnessing intriguing collective dynamics in extensive nonequilibrium systems.

description: We study the nearest neighbors one dimensional uniform q-model of force fluctuations in bead packs [Coppersmith et al (1996)], a stochastic model to simulate the stress of granular media in two dimensional silos. The vertical coordinate plays the role of time, and the horizontal coordinate the role of space. The process is a discrete time Markov process with state space $\R^{\{1,...,N\}}$. At each layer (time), the weight supported by each grain is a random variable of mean one (its own weight) plus the sum of random fractions of the weights supported by the nearest neighboring grains at the previous layer. The fraction of the weight given to the right neighbor of the successive layer is a uniform random variable in $[0,1]$ independent of everything. The remaining weight is given to the left neighbor. In the boundaries, a uniform fraction of the weight leans on the wall of the silo. This corresponds to \emph{absorbing boundary conditions}. For this model we show that there exists a unique invariant measure. The mean weight at site $i$ under the invariant measure is $i(N+1-i)$; we prove that its variance is $\frac12(i(N+1-i))^2 + O(N^3)$ and the covariances between grains $i\neq j$ are of order $O(N^3)$. Moreover, as $N\to\infty$, the law under the invariant measure of the weights divided by $N^2$ around site (integer part of) $rN$, $r\in (0,1)$, converges to a product of gamma distributions with parameters 2 and $2(r(1-r))^{-1}$ (sum of two exponentials of mean $r(1-r)/2$). Liu {\it et al} (1995) proved that for a silo with infinitely many weightless grains, any product of gamma distributions with parameters 2 and $2/ρ$ with $ρ\in [0,\infty)$ are invariant. Our result shows that as the silo grows, the model selects exactly one of these Gamma's at each macroscopic place.

description: Aims. We aim to constrain the size and porosity of ejected dust particles from comet 252P/LINEAR and their evolution near the perihelion via near-infrared multiband polarimetry. A close approach of the comet to the Earth in March 2016 (~0.036 au) provided a rare opportunity for the sampling of the comet with a high spatial resolution. Methods. We made NIR JHKS bands polarimetric observations of the comet for 12 days near perihelion, interspersed between broadband optical imaging observations over four months. In addition, dynamical simulation of the comet was performed 1000 yr backward in time. Results. We detected two discontinuous brightness enhancements. Before the first enhancement, the NIR polarization degrees were far lower than those of ordinary comets at a given phase angle. Soon after the activation, however, they increased by ~13 % at most, showing unusual blue polarimetric color over the J and H bands (-2.55 % / um on average) and bluing of both J-H and H-Ks dust color. Throughout the event, the polarization vector was marginally aligned perpendicular to the scattering plane. The subsequent postperihelion reactivation of the comet lasted for approximately 1.5 months, with a factor of ~30 times pre-activation dust mass-loss rates in the Rc band. Conclusions. The marked increase in the polarization degree with blue NIR polarimetric color is reminiscent of the behaviors of a fragmenting comet D/1999 S4 (LINEAR). The most plausible scenario for the observed polarimetric properties of 252P/LINEAR would be an ejection of predominantly large, compact dust particles from the desiccated surface layer. We conjecture that the more intense solar heating that the comet has received in the near-Earth orbit would cause the paucity of small, fluffy dust particles around the nucleus of the comet.

description: The policy analysis matrix (PAM) framework was employed to analyse the comparative economic advantage in production and explore the impact of policy distortions on agricultural competitiveness in Malawi. The study demonstrated that Malawi has strong comparative advantage in the production of tobacco, paprika, macadamia nuts, cotton, tea, phaseolous beans, groundnuts and hybrid maize. Notably, Malawi has weak comparative advantage in the production of open pollinated maize and soybeans, both produced using low input technology. Of interest though, is the fact that low input producers are more efficient users of domestic resources in the production of some major cash crops such as tobacco and paprika. The study also revealed a large disparity between net private and net social profitability. This wide gap is mainly attributed to suppressed market prices over the long years of controlled commodity pricing in Malawian agriculture. Input market prices in Malawi were found to be higher than their equivalent social prices, thus forming an indirect tax on farmers. High transportation costs due to poor road infrastructure and the sales tax imposed on inputs such as chemicals are major factors behind the high input market prices. Elimination of such bottlenecks and policy distortions, improved access to credit and modern technology research investments should contribute to improved competitiveness in agricultural production, especially among small holders given their existing potential.

description: Macroeconomic policy should be guided by a long-term strategy based on the needs of the country. This is an essential message of the term ‘sustainable development’. It is, therefore, inevitable that the country’s natural and environmental resources should be considered when shaping such a policy. Current macroeconomic policies in South Africa have tended to ignore, rather than incorporate, these issues. This paper provides a framework for integrating environmental values into macroeconomic policy-making in South Africa. This is done by focusing on 1) the different theories on the linkage between the economy and the environment, 2) conceptualising the input of environmental values in the macroeconomic policy arena and 3) making recommendations for incorporating environmental factors into South African macroeconomic policy.

description: The results of this survey of 100 smallholders in the Makhathini Flats, KwaZulu-Natal give cause for cautious optimism regarding the impacts of Bt cotton. Farmers who adopted Bt cotton benefited from the new technology, according to all the measures used. Average yield per hectare and per kilogram of seed was higher for adopters than for non-adopters. The increase in yields and the reduction in chemical application costs outweighed the higher seed cost, even in a poor production season due to unusually heavy rainfall. Bt adopters suffered far less of a fall in yields than those who did not adopt. As yields and gross margins are partial measures of efficiency, deterministic and stochastic efficiency frontiers were measured. Both methods confirm the farm accounting results, showing that Bt cotton adopters were more efficient. For 1998, the results showed that adopters averaged 88% efficiency, as compared with 66% for non-adopters. In 1999, the equivalent figures were 74% and 48%. Similarly, the determinist frontier results for both years show that adopters were over 62% efficient, while non-adopters averaged only 46%.
