description: The structure of the agriculture sector in Australia appears to pose a fundamental constraint to 'product marketing' and 'value-adding' initiatives of the kind for which many are calling. A case is presented in this paper for the search for differentiation opportunities (as a rubric for product marketing and value-adding activity) to be regarded as a determinant of marketing system performance. This is related to firm-level contemplation of market levels, as distinct from segments within a level, to target. Criteria are presented for the identification of the appropriate market level for an organisation to target within a vertical marketing system and these are then analysed with a view to identifying appropriate grounds for policy intervention in such systems. It is argued that grounds can exist even in markets which are contestable and that agribusiness subsystems are common examples.

Androlaelaps circularis

description: Androlaelaps circularis (Ewing)
 Type host: Peromyscus truei (Shufedlt, 1885); Type locality: Salina, Utah.
 Deposition, host records, and locality: HWML 101731, 101732, and 101733, Pm. maniculatus / Ackley 2013.
 Remarks: Androlaelaps (subgenus Eubrachylaelaps) spp. are distinctive, highly sclerotized, circularshaped mites associated primarily with peromyscine rodents in North and Central America, and with Akodontine and Abrotrichine rodents in South America (Gettinger and Gardner 2015). Androlaelaps circularis has been reported from a long list of neotomine rodents in North and Central America (Furman 1955). The wide range of morphological variation across closely related host species and a wide geographic range has never been studied critically. Although the implication in the literature points toward intraspecific geographic variation (see Furman 1955), in South America, a morphometric analysis of the congeneric species Androlaelaps rotundus (Fonseca, 1936) concluded that this nominal form is a composite of cryptic species, each associated with a separate host species (Gettinger and Owen 2000). The subgenus Eubrachylaelaps is in great need of revision to evaluate this variation, and to assess the monophyly of these mites infesting different host groups in the Nearctic (Neotominae) and Neotropical (Sigmodontinae) regions.

description: Nanotechnology has tremendous potential in food and agriculture. Few economic studies focused on specific products made using nanotechnology, let alone food or food related products. Using a national choice experiment survey, this analysis examines consumers’ valuations for nano-attributes. As implied, consumers were willing to pay less for canola oil if it was produced from nanoscale-modified seed; less if the final products were packed with nanotechnology-enhanced packaging technique; and no significant difference was found for oil that was designed with health enhancing nano-engineered oil drops, which would require interaction with the human digestive system. Additionally, the results revealed unobserved heterogeneities among respondents in their willingness-to-pay for canola oil attributes. Findings from this study will help bridge the gap between scientific innovation and public policy and social-economic concerns. Implications for government policy that can be efficiently used to monitor and regulate these technologies were also investigated.

description: The model of spinning particle, based on the Kerr-Newman solution with |a}>>m, is discussed. It is shown that the Kerr singular ring can be considered as a string with an orientifold world-sheet. Orientifold adds to the Kerr ring an extra peculiar point, the fixed point of the world-sheet parity operator. It is shown that the Kerr string represents a new type of the string solutions and turns out to be an open D-string with joined ends which are in the circular light-like motion along the Kerr ring.

description: A process development from a traditional grain-based fermentation to a defined water kefir fermentation using a co-culture of one lactic acid bacterium and one yeast was elaborated as a prerequisite for an industrially scalable, controllable, and reproducible process. Further, to meet a healthy lifestyle, a low ethanol-containing product was aimed for. Five microbial strains—Hanseniaspora valbyensis, Dekkera bruxellensis, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Liquorilactobacillus nagelii, and Leuconostoc mesenteroides—were used in pairs in order to examine their influence on the fermentation progress and the properties of the resulting water kefir products against grains as a control. Thereby, the combination of H. valbyensis and L. mesenteroides provided the best-rated water kefir beverage in terms of taste and low ethanol concentrations at the same time. As a further contribution to harmonization and reduction of complexity, the usage of dried figs in the medium was replaced by fig syrup, which could have been proven as an adequate substitute. However, nutritional limitations were faced afterward, and thus, an appropriate supplementation strategy for yeast extract was established. Finally, comparative trials in 5-L scale applying grains as well as a defined microbial consortium showed both water kefir beverages characterized by a pH of 3.14, and lactic acid and aromatic sensory properties. The product resulting from co-culturing outperformed the grain-based one, as the ethanol level was considerably lower in favor of an increased amount of lactic acid. The possibility of achieving a water kefir product by using only two species shows high potential for further detailed research of microbial interactions and thus functionality of water kefir.

Reflection groups and 3d $\mathcal{N}\ge $ 6 SCFTs

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We point out that the moduli spaces of all known 3d $\mathcal{N}=$ 8 and $\mathcal{N}=$ 6 SCFTs, after suitable gaugings of finite symmetry groups, have the form $\mathbb{C}^{4r}/Γ$ where $Γ$ is a real or complex reflection group depending on whether the theory is $\mathcal{N}=$ 8 or $\mathcal{N}=$ 6, respectively. Real reflection groups are either dihedral groups, Weyl groups, or two sporadic cases $H_{3,4}$. Since the BLG theories and the maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories correspond to dihedral and Weyl groups, it is strongly suggested that there are two yet-to-be-discovered 3d $\mathcal{N}=$ 8 theories for $H_{3,4}$. We also show that all known $\mathcal{N}=$ 6 theories correspond to complex reflection groups collectively known as $G(k,x,N)$. Along the way, we demonstrate that two ABJM theories $(SU(N)_k\times SU(N)_{-k})/\mathbb{Z}_N$ and $(U(N)_k\times U(N)_{-k})/\mathbb{Z}_k$ are actually equivalent.

description: We present estimates of CN and Mg overabundances with respect to Fe for early-type galaxies in 8 clusters over a range of richness and morphology. Spectra were taken from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) DR1, and from WHT and CAHA observations. Abundances were derived from absorption lines and single burst population models, by comparing galaxy spectra with appropriately broadened synthetic model spectra. We detect correlations between [Mg/CN] and [CN/Fe] and cluster X-ray luminosity. No correlation is observed for [Mg/Fe]. We also see a clear trend with the richness and morphology of the clusters. This is interpreted given varying formation timescales for CN, Mg and Fe, and a varying star formation history in early-type galaxies as a function of their environment: intermediate-mass early-type galaxies in more massive clusters are assembled on shorter timescales than in less massive clusters, with an upper limit of ~1 Gyr.

description: We describe our methodology for comparing the WMAP measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and other complementary data sets to theoretical models. The unprecedented quality of the WMAP data, and the tight constraints on cosmological parameters that are derived, require a rigorous analysis so that the approximations made in the modeling do not lead to significant biases. We describe our use of the likelihood function to characterize the statistical properties of the microwave background sky. We outline the use of the Monte Carlo Markov Chains to explore the likelihood of the data given a model to determine the best fit cosmological parameters and their uncertainties. We add to the WMAP data the l>~700 CBI and ACBAR measurements of the CMB, the galaxy power spectrum at z~0 obtained from the 2dF galaxy redshift survey (2dFGRS), and the matter power spectrum at z~3 as measured with the Ly alpha forest. These last two data sets complement the CMB measurements by probing the matter power spectrum of the nearby universe. Combining CMB and 2dFGRS requires that we include in our analysis a model for galaxy bias, redshift distortions, and the non-linear growth of structure. We show how the statistical and systematic uncertainties in the model and the data are propagated through the full analysis.

description: Are futures prices exogenous to agricultural supply? It depends. We argue that crop yield shocks were predictable during the 1961-2007 period because high planting-time futures prices tended to indicate that yield would be below trend. This feature of the data implies that regressions of production on futures prices would underestimate the supply elasticity, i.e., endogeneity in the futures price biases the regression coefficient down. However, this predictability has only a small effect on planted acreage. Thus, estimating supply models with regressions of planted acreage on futures prices entails a small endogeneity bias. Moreover, this small bias is mitigated by adding the realized yield shock as a control variable to such a model as a proxy for the expected yield shock. The marginal contribution of an instrumental variable to bias reduction is thus small.

description: Kenya is one of the few countries in sub-Saharan Africa experiencing an impressive rise in fertilizer use on food crops grown by smallholder farmers since the liberalization of input markets starting in the early-1990s. The impacts of these reforms and associated private sector investments on national fertilizer use and food production have never been rigorously quantified, though doing so could shed new light on policy makers’ options for raising food crop productivity in the region. This study estimates a double-hurdle model of fertilizer demand that controls for common forms of unobserved heterogeneity then simulates the effect of changes in fertilizer prices and distances from farm to the nearest fertilizer retailer associated with fertilizer market liberalization on the demand for fertilizer and the production of maize, the major staple crop in the country. The study concludes that over the period 1997-2010 the reduction in real fertilizer prices associated with input market liberalization is estimated to have raised maize yields by 15 to 100 kg/ha, depending on the province and year. Low average physical response rates of maize to fertilizer application in high fertilizer consuming areas of Kenya limits the degree to which increased fertilizer use via liberalization policies translates into food production improvements. These increases in maize yield specifically linked to changes in fertilizer prices accounted for between 1 and 11 percent of changes in maize production between survey years.

description: In this paper the semi-classical approach to the solution of non-linear evolution equation is developed. We found the solution in the entire kinematic region to the non-linear evolution equation that governs the dynamics in the high parton density QCD. The large impact parameter ($b_t$) behavior of the solution is discussed as well as the way how to include the non-perturbative QCD corrections in this region of $b_t$. The geometrical scaling behavior and other properties of the solution in the saturation (Color Glass Condensate) kinematic domain are analyzed. We obtain the asymptotic behavior for the physical observables and found the unitarity bounds for them.

description: Incorporating dynamics such as habit formation in analysis of demand can make estimation more reliable and help to explain the “stickiness” in consumer demand behavior when consumers receive new information about products, such as a food safety event or recall. Scanner data allow many repeated observations of the same household so are ideal for analyzing the impact of habit on demand. In addition to that, scanner data allow us to easily observe the presence of zero purchases. The presence of zero purchases is an important econometric issue in empirical modeling on food demand in the sense that ignoring the censoring issue could lead to biased estimation results. This paper investigates the impact of state dependence on food demand using Nielsen 2009 and 2010 HomeScan data. In this paper, we take into account the censored nature of food expenditure data and employ a Bayesian procedure to estimate the dynamic demand models on dairy products. By controlling the individual heterogeneity in the model the source of endogeneity for the lagged dependent variable is removed.

description: We present a new approach for preconditioning the interface Schur complement arising in domain decomposition of second-order scalar elliptic problems. The preconditioners are discrete interpolation norms recently introduced in [3]. In particular, we employ discrete representations of norms for the Sobolev space of index 1/2 to approximate the Steklov-Poincar´e operators arising from non-overlapping one-level domain decomposition methods. We use the coercivity and continuity of the Schur complement with respect to the preconditioning norm to derive mesh-independent bounds on the convergence of iterative solvers. We also address the case of non-constant coefficients by considering the interpolation of weighted spaces and the corresponding discrete norms.

description: We perform a systematic study of all the traditional neutron magic nuclei with $N$ = 8, 20, 28, 50, 82, and 126, from the neutron drip line to the proton drip line. We adopt the deformed relativistic mean field (RMF) theory as our framework and treat pairing correlations by a simple BCS method with a zero-range $δ$-force. Remarkable agreement with the available experimental data is obtained for the binding energies, the two- and one-proton separation energies, and the nuclear charge radii. The calculated nuclear deformations are compared with the available experimental data and the predictions of the FRDM mass formula and the HFBCS-1 mass formula. We discuss, in particular, the appearance of sub-shell magic nuclei by observing irregular behavior in the two- and one-proton separation energies.

description: A reanalysis of data taken on the Cygnus region in 1989-90 using the Whipple Observatory atmospheric Cherenkov imaging telescope confirms the existence of the TeV J2032+4130 source reported by the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory and published by the HEGRA Collaboration. The significance at the a priori HEGRA position is 3.3sigma. The peak signal was found at RA=20hr32min, Dec=+41deg33min. This is 0.6deg north of Cygnus X-3 which was the original target of the observations. The flux level (12% of the level of the Crab Nebula) is intermediate between the two later observations and suggests that the TeV source is variable.

description: In EU Countries in the last decade there has been a reduction of the number of farms, combined with a significant increase in their average size. First response to crisis in EU agriculture is the enhancement the competitiveness of farms in bio-economy issues, i.e. quality: EU farmers must build on high quality reputation to sustain competitiveness and profitability. Main goal of this work is to measure the level of competitiveness of Italian farms, focusing on environmental efforts and food quality issues and taking into account rural-urban areas diversity. It has been used two synthetic indices (for environment and for food quality), based on basic indicators. To ensure the comparability of the different target areas, it has been used the NSP 2007/2013 classification with Italian areas aggregated in four major local categories (A, B, C, D). Here it has been chosen to use and exploit the 6th General Agricultural Census data (2010). For the analysis, it was applied the software "Ranker" developed by Istat with three different methods used. Results show that the D area of Sicilia is the first one in the ranking of Environmental Index, while the A area of Sardegna is the last one (69° place); in the Food Quality Index the A area of Bolzano is at the top and the B area of Sicilia is at the last place. In addition, it has been focused on the basic indicators that influenced the final results. Moreover, it has been shown the results of the two indices for each area (A, B, C, D) together with a comparison with their economic value (standard output). This work could be the starting point for considering the possibility to use synthetic indices to study just some aspects of a so complex theme as development, competitiveness and grow for farms.

description: This paper represents an initial attempt at assessing the importance of estimated demand systems for the simulation of large price shocks with respect to poverty analysis. Using a Ugandan household survey data set and an estimated flexible demand system, three different approaches to simulating the compensated expenditure budget due to large food price shocks are compared: a non-behavioral microaccounting, and three behavioral demand systems (LES, CDE, and QUAIDS). The aim of this study is twofold. First, to provide an indication whether it is worthwhile to invest in the estimation of a demand system for similar consumption side poverty impact analyses. Second, to provide a sense of the magnitude in the loss of fidelity from using a less flexible instead of a more flexible demand system within computable general equilibrium analyses of poverty impacts. The results show that using no demand system overestimates poverty impacts to quite some extent. The differences between using either of the three demand systems are rather small but may be more substantial in the extremes.

description: Ever since 1927, when Al Jolson spoke in the first “talkie” film The Jazz Singer, there had been little doubt that sound added a valuable perceptual dimension to visual media. However, despite the advances of over 80 years, and the complete integration of sound and vision that has occurred in entertainment applications, the use of sound to channel data occurring in everyday life has remained rather primitive, limited to such things as computer beeps and jingles for certain mouse and key actions, low battery alarms on a mobile devices, and other sounds that simply indicate when some trigger state has been reached – the information content of such sounds is not high. Non-binary, but still technically rather simple data applications include the familiar rattling sound of a Geiger counter, talking clocks and thermometers, or the sound output of a hospital EKG machine. What if deletion of larger and/or more recently accessed computer files resulted in a more complex sound than for deleting smaller or rarely accessed files, increasing the user’s awareness of the loss of larger or more recent work efforts? All of these are examples of data sonification. While sonification seems to be pursued mostly by those wishing to generate tuneful results, many are undertaking the process to simply provide another method of presenting data. Many examples are available at https://soundcloud.com/tags/sonification including some very tuneful arrangements of the Higgs Boson. Indeed, with complex data series one can often hear patterns or persistent pitches that would be difficult to show visually. Musical pitches are periodic components of sound and repetition over time can be readily discerned by the listener. Sonification techniques have been applied to a variety of topics (Pauletto and Hunt, 2009; Scaletti and Craig 1991; Sturm, 2005; Dunn and Clark, 1999). To the authors’ knowledge, Sonification has yet to be applied in any substantive way to economic data. Our goal is not to produce tuneful results. Rather, the purpose of this paper is to explore the potential application of Sonification techniques for informing and assessing the specification of econometric models for representing economic data outcomes. The purpose of this seminal and exploratory analysis is to investigate whether there appears to be significant promise in adding the data sonification approach to the empirical economists’ toolkit for interpreting economic data and specifying econometric models. In particular, is there an advantage to using both the empirical analyst’s eyes and ears when investigating empirical economic problems?

description: We examine the effects of irrigation technology subsidies using a model of inter- temporal common pool groundwater use with substitutable technology and declining yields from groundwater stocks, where pumping cost and stock externalities arise from the common property problem. We employ an optimal control analytical model, which is then parameterized and simulated for Sheridan County, Kansas, which overlies the Ogallala aquifer. We contrast competitive and optimal allocations and account for endogenous and time-varying irrigation capital on water use and stock. In our anal- ysis, we account for the labor-savings from improved irrigation technologies, which is an often overlooked reduction in adoption costs. We find that in the absence of pol- icy intervention, the open access solution yields an early period with underinvestment in efficiency-improving irrigation technology relative to the socially efficient solution, which is followed by a period of overinvestment. This suggests a potential role for ir- rigation capital subsidies to improve welfare over certain ranges of the state variables. In contrast to previous work, we find evidence that significant returns may be achieved from policy intervention. We go on to simulate various policy scenarios where irriga-tion technology subsidies implemented in isolation and in combination with water use restrictions, to explore whether simple implementation of these programs can capture significant portions of the potential welfare gain.

The Effect of the Approach to Gas Disk Gravitational Instability on the Rapid Formation of Gas Giant Planets
Creators: name: Boss, Alan P.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP)

description: Observational evidence suggests that gas disk instability may be responsible for the formation of at least some gas giant exoplanets, particularly massive or distant gas giants. With regard to close-in gas giants, Boss (2017) used the $β$ cooling approximation to calculate hydrodynamical models of inner gas disk instability, finding that provided disks with low values of the initial minimum Toomre stability parameter (i.e., $Q_i < 2$ inside 20 au) form, fragmentation into self-gravitating clumps could occur even for $β$ as high as 100 (i.e., extremely slow cooling). Those results implied that the evolution of disks toward low $Q_i$ must be taken into account. This paper presents such models: initial disk masses of 0.091 $M_\odot$ extending from 4 to 20 au around a 1 $M_\odot$ protostar, with a range (1 to 100) of $β$ cooling parameters, the same as in Boss (2017), but with all the disks starting with $Q_i = 2.7$, i.e., gravitationally stable, and allowed to cool from their initial outer disk temperature of 180 K to as low as 40 K. All the disks eventually fragment into at least one dense clump. The clumps were again replaced by virtual protoplanets (VPs) and the masses and orbits of the resulting ensemble of VPs compare favorably with those of Boss (2017), supporting the claim that disk instability can form gas giants rapidly inside 20 au, provided that sufficiently massive protoplanetary disks exist.

description: In this paper, we consider an extension of the commonly used poverty gap measure that may be used to address the question of whether the elimination of poverty is a feasible objective, given sufficient political commitment. The resources potentially available to address poverty may be measured by the total amount by which the incomes of the non-poor exceed the same poverty line. The ratio of the poverty gap to the resources potentially available is equal to the proportional tax rate on incomes in excess of the poverty line that would be required to fund a transfer sufficient to raise the incomes of all poor people to the poverty line. We refer to this ratio as the ‘poverty burden’ (PB). We provide a formal definition of the poverty burden and an analysis of its properties as a poverty measure.

description: Optical frequency measurements of the intercombination line $(6s^{2})\,^{1}S_{0} -(6s6p)\,^{3}P_{1}$ in the isotopes of ytterbium are carried out with the use of sub-Doppler fluorescence spectroscopy on an atomic beam. A dispersive signal is generated to which a master laser is locked, while frequency counting of an auxiliary beat signal is performed via a frequency comb referenced to a hydrogen maser. The relative separations between the lines are used to evaluate the $^{3}P_{1}$-level magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole constants for the fermionic isotopes. The center of gravity for the $^3P_1$ levels in $^{171}$Yb and $^{173}$Yb are also evaluated, where we find significant disagreement with previously reported values. These hyperfine constants provide a valuable litmus test for atomic many-body computations in ytterbium.

description: The mining industry in Australia, and in most other countries, pay special taxes for the use of community owned resources in additional to taxes levied on businesses in general. General taxes include the corporate income tax, payroll and transaction taxes, and labour pay personal income taxes. In the states and territories the additional tax in most cases takes the form of a royalty levied as a tax on production, either as a specific tax per unit of production or as an ad valorem percentage of the value per unit mined. Details are in The Treasury (2008). In the case of offshore energy resources, the commonwealth imposes a special tax either as a royalty or as the petroleum resource rent tax (PRRT) (The Treasury, 2008).
Commission Model of Teaching

description: Dorothy Heathcote (1926-2011) is best known today for the “Mantle of the Expert” system of teaching, a drama method in which young people are asked to think of themselves as an “expert” team of some kind, who receive a fictional commission from an imaginary client. This “commission” forms the basis for a programme of teaching across the curriculum. In the “Commission Model,” which she created in the early 2000s, there is a real commission, from a real client in the community. The aim, for Heathcote, was to break down barriers between schools and the outside world; to ensure that learning takes place in a context; and to empower children as active “citizens of the world”. This article examines a Commission project which Heathcote led, to design a hospital garden; with particular reference to science elements in the project. It draws on original materials from the Dorothy Heathcote Archive.

The Effect of Neutron Star Binding Energy on Gravitational-Radiation-Driven Mass-Transfer Binaries

description: In a relativistic model of a neutron star, the star's mass is less than the mass of the individual component baryons. This is due to the fact that the star's negative binding energy makes a contribution to the star's total energy and its mass. A consequence of this relativistic mass deficit is that a neutron star that is accreting matter increases its mass at a rate which is slower than the mass of a baryon times the rate that baryons are accreted. This difference in the rate of change of the masses has a simple relation with the star's gravitational redshift. We show that this effect has the potential to be observed in binaries where the mass transfer is driven by angular momentum losses from the gravitational radiation emitted by the binary motion.
