description: Consumption forecasts for fats and oils are essential in appraising the outlook for oilseeds and guiding farmers' acreage plans. They are also valuable to businessmen who produce, handle, or use fats and oils or who deal in oilseeds. Recognizing the extent of interchangeability among fats and oils, this paper presents an analysis of the factors affecting total consumption of fats and oils, except butter. An equation, for forecasting total fat and oil consumption, per person, and techniques which should prove useful as a guide in the analysis of demand for particular groups of fats and oils are likewise presented.

description: The imaging fidelity of the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) is currently determined by its sparse baseline coverage. In particular, EHT coverage is dominated by long baselines, and is highly sensitive to atmospheric conditions and loss of sites between experiments. The limited short/mid-range baselines especially affect the imaging process, hindering the recovery of more extended features in the image. We present an algorithmic contingency for the absence of well-constrained short baselines in the imaging of compact sources, such as the supermassive black holes observed with the EHT. This technique enforces a specific second moment on the reconstructed image in the form of a size constraint, which corresponds to the curvature of the measured visibility function at zero baseline. The method enables the recovery of information lost in gaps of the baseline coverage on short baselines and enables corrections of any systematic amplitude offsets for the stations giving short-baseline measurements present in the observation. The regularization can use historical source size measurements to constrain the second moment of the reconstructed image to match the observed size. We additionally show that a characteristic size can be derived from available short-baseline measurements, extrapolated from other wavelengths, or estimated without complementary size constraints with parameter searches. We demonstrate the capabilities of this method for both static and movie reconstructions of variable sources.

Tachyon Condensation and Universal Solutions in String Field Theory

description: We investigate a non-perturbative vacuum in open string field theory expanded around the analytic classical solution which has been found in the universal Fock space generated by matter Virasoro generators and ghost oscillators. We carry out level-truncation analyses up to level (6,18) in the theory around one-parameter families of the solution. We observe that the value of the vacuum energy cancels the D-brane tension as the approximation level is increased, but this non-perturbative vacuum disappears at the boundary of the parameter space. These results provide strong evidence for the conjecture that, although the universal solutions are pure gauge in almost all the parameter space, they are regarded as the tachyon vacuum solution at the boundary.

description: Contact electrification of dielectric grains forms the basis for a myriad of physical phenomena. However, even the basic aspects of collisional charging between grains are still unclear. Here we develop a new experimental method, based on acoustic levitation, which allows us to controllably and repeatedly collide two sub-millimeter grains and measure the evolution of their electric charges. This is therefore the first tribocharging experiment to provide complete electric isolation for the grain-grain system from its surroundings. We use this method to measure collisional charging rates between pairs of grains for three different material combinations: polyethylene-polyethylene, polystyrene-polystyrene, and polystyrene-sulfonated polystyrene. The ability to directly and noninvasively collide particles of different constituent materials, chemical functionality, size, and shape opens the door to detailed studies of collisional charging in granular materials.

Schneble {\em et al.} [ Science {\bf 300}, 475 (2003)]. We show that atomic ``pair production'' from the condensate results in the generation of both forward- and backward-propagating matter waves. These waves are characterized by different phase-matching conditions, resulting in different angular distributions and temporal evolutions.

Subjects: Decrypting, Prospects, New International Information Order, Digital Age

description: This study examined the decrypt in prospects of a new international information order in the digital age. The theoretical framework of the study was drawn from the technological determinism theory and development communication theory. The study made use of survey design and the instrument used for data collection was interview guide. The data collected were analysed using Explanation Building Techniques (EBT), which were presented and analysed entirely in themes. Findings from the study revealed that, digital age has encouraged private investments in the communication industry of Nigeria. People have private investors such as Raypower FM, Africa Independent Television, Minaj systems, Cool FM, Rhythm, Channel Television etc. The way digital age has encourage private investments were through the new technology rapid growth, deregulation and cost, infrastructural deficit and the wave of digitalization amongst others. The study recommended among others that, there should be commitment on the part of Nigeria government towards investing in media infrastructures. There should be an inside look approach or a minimal cut-off from dependence on international communication. Finally, the Nigeria government should ensure adequate universal service by revisiting the regulatory frameworks; improve infrastructure and manpower in communication development

description: We make a simple analytical study of radial profiles of dark matter structures, with special attention to the question of the central radial density profile. We let our theoretical assumptions be guided by results from numerical simulations, and show that at any radius where both the radial density profile, rho, and the phase-space-like density profile, rho/sigma^epsilon, are exact power laws, the only allowed density slopes in agreement with the spherical symmetric and isotropic Jeans equation are in the range 1< beta <3, where beta = - dln(rho)/dln(r). We also allow for a radial variation of these power laws, as well as anisotropy, and show how this allows for more shallow central slopes.

Economic and Social Infrastructure in the Strategy of Regional Economic Development: An Alternative Theoretical Perspective Relevant to Open Economies

Year: 1988
Subjects: Community/Rural/Urban Development
Labor and Human Capital

description: The purpose of this paper is to reformulate the problem of unemployment and its relation to education; i.e., to suggest a new conceptual perspective on this relationship. The major hypothesis is that the people of a low-income region with limited opportunities for educated persons interpret their local economic environment and its job opportunities as indicating the actual benefits of education, and hence undervalue it. This hypothesis is not tested in this paper, but examined as an indication of a direction for further research. An illustrative example which is representative of many other economically lagging regions is a 19-county area of South Central Kentucky, which has received much state and U. S. development assistance. This region is of special interest because demand for labor has rapidly increased and education is available, but unemployment remains stubbornly high and the level of education low. Therefore, it appears that a strategy of merely providing educational and employment opportunities and transportation infrastructure will not lift a lagging region out of poverty. Further research is needed, beginning with a re-examination and reformulation of the problem to include the impact of the social and economic environment created by the predominance of unskilled and non-technical jobs in the area. An alternative strategy which is re1evant to an open economy is suggested if the hypothesis proves to be valid.

description: We present analytically and numerically the spectrum of high harmonic emission generated by twisted electrons in the presence of linearly polarized light. Ensuing transitions from electronic continuum states with orbital angular momentum to bound states give rise to circularly polarized attosecond pulses. For central collisions with twisted wavepackets continuum-bound transitions are subject to dipole selection rules. For non-central collisions a crossover from circularly to linearly polarized emission occurs for increasing impact parameter, due to the transverse topology of twisted wavepackets.

description: Context: The identification and characterisation of populations of young massive stars in (giant) HII regions provides important constraints on i) the formation process of massive stars and their early feedback on the environment, and ii) the initial conditions for population synthesis models predicting the evolution of ensembles of stars. Aims: We identify and characterise the stellar populations of the following young giant HII regions: M8, G333.6-0.2, and NGC6357. Methods: We acquired H- and K-band spectra of around 200 stars using The K-band KMOS on the ESO Very Large Telescope. The targets for M8 and NGC6357 were selected from the MYStIX project, which combines X-ray observations with near-infrared and mid-infrared data. For G333.6-0.2, the sample selection is based on the near-infrared colours combined with X-ray data. We introduce an automatic spectral classification method in order to obtain temperatures and luminosities for the observed stars. We analyse the stellar populations using their photometric, astrometric, and spectroscopic properties and compared the position of the stars in the Hertzprung-Russell diagram with stellar evolution models to constrain their ages and mass ranges. Results: We confirm the presence of candidate ionising sources in the three regions and report new ones, including the first spectroscopically identified O stars in G333.6-0.2. In M8 and NGC6357, two populations are identified: i) OB main-sequence stars ($M > 5~\rm{M_{\odot}}$) and ii) pre-main sequence stars ($M\approx0.5-5~\rm{M_{\odot}}$). The ages of the clusters are $\sim$1-3~Myr, $< 3$~Myr, and $\sim$0.5-3~Myr for M8, G333.6-0.2, and NGC6357, respectively. We show that MYStIX selected targets have $>$ 90\% probability of being members of the HII region, whereas a selection based on near infrared (NIR) colours leads to a membership probability of only $\sim$70\%.

description: This work examines feeder cattle pricing factors from internet auctions and preconditioned feeder calf sales. In addition to examining traditional pricing factors, factors were also examined relating to the marketing conditions and characteristics of the feeder cattle sold. A negative relationship was found to exist between corn and feeder cattle price, with some evidence that the magnitude may be smaller than in previous work. Value-added premiums were moderate, roughly $11 per head for age and source verification and $17 per head for certified natural. Evidence was also found that market conditions may have shifted such that the incentive to underestimate weight in video auctions may no longer exist.

description: The gravitational wave (GW) has opened a new window to the universe beyond the electromagnetic spectrum. Since 2015, dozens of GW events have been caught by the ground-based GW detectors through laser interferometry. However, all the ground-based detectors are L-shaped Michelson interferometers, with very limited directional response to GW. Here we propose a three-dimensional (3-D) laser interferometer detector in the shape of a regular triangular pyramid, which has more spherically symmetric antenna pattern. Moreover, the new configuration corresponds to much stronger constraints on parameters of GW sources, and is capable of constructing null-streams to get rid of the signal-like noise events. A 3-D detector of kilometer scale of such kind would shed new light on the joint search of GW and electromagnetic emission.

description: Rice is sensitive to low temperatures, specifically at the booting stage. Chilling tolerance of rice is a quantitative trait loci that is governed by multiple genes, and thus, its precise identification through the conventional methods is an arduous task. In this study, we investigated the candidate genes related to chilling tolerance at the booting stage of rice. The F2 population was derived from Longjing25 (chilling-tolerant) and Longjing11 (chilling-sensitive) cross. Two bulked segregant analysis pools were constructed. A 0.82 Mb region containing 98 annotated genes on chromosomes 6 and 9 was recognized as the candidate region associated with chilling tolerance of rice at the booting stage. Transcriptomic analysis of Longjing25 and Longjing11 revealed 50 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) on the candidate intervals. KEGG pathway enrichment analysis of DEGs was performed. Nine pathways were found to be enriched, which contained 10 DEGs. A total of four genes had different expression patterns or levels between Longjing25 and Longjing11. Four out of the 10 DEGs were considered as potential candidate genes for chilling tolerance. This study will assist in the cloning of the candidate genes responsible for chilling tolerance and molecular breeding of rice for the development of chilling-tolerant rice varieties.

description: High resolution line profiles are presented for selected forbidden and permitted emission lines of a sample of galactic B[e]-type stars. The spectral resolution corresponds to 5-7 km/s with the exception of some line profiles which were observed with a resolution of 9-13 km/s. All Ha profiles are characterized by a narrow split or single emission component with a width of about 150-250 km/s (FWHM) and broad wings with a full width of ~1000-2000 km/s. The Ha profiles can be classified into three groups: double-peaked profiles representing the majority, single-peaked emission-line profiles, and normal P Cygni-type profiles. The forbidden lines exhibit in most cases double-peaked profiles. The split forbidden line profiles have peak separations of as little as 10 km/s. The ratio of violet to red emission peak intensities, V/R, is predominantly smaller or equal to 1. Theoretical profiles were calculated for the optically thin case. A latitude-dependent stellar wind with a radial expansion and a velocity decreasing from the pole to the equator was adopted. In addition an equatorial dust ring with various optical depths was assumed. This model can explain split lines and line asymmetries observed in some stars. Moreover, the V/R ratios can be understood in terms of this model. The comparison of the observed line profiles with the models thus confirms the assumption of disk-like line-formation regions as commonly adopted for B[e]-type stars.

description: Single-layer superconductors are ideal materials for fabricating superconducting nano devices. However, up to date, very few single-layer elemental superconductors have been predicted and especially no one has been successfully synthesized yet. Here, using crystal structure search techniques and ab initio calculations, we predict that a single-layer planar carbon sheet with 4- and 8-membered rings called T-graphene is a new intrinsic elemental superconductor with superconducting critical temperature (Tc) up to around 20.8 K. More importantly, we propose a synthesis route to obtain such a single-layer T-graphene, that is, a T-graphene potassium intercalation compound (C4K with P4/mmm symmetry) is firstly synthesized at high pressure (>11.5GPa) and then quenched to ambient condition; and finally, the single-layer T-graphene can be either exfoliated using the electrochemical method from the bulk C4K, or peeled off from bulk T-graphite C4, where C4 can be obtained from C4K by evaporating the K atoms. Interestingly, we find that the calculated Tc of C4K is about 30.4K at 0GPa, which sets a new record for layered carbon-based superconductors. The present findings add a new class of carbon based superconductors. In particular, once the single-layer T-graphene is synthesized, it can pave the way for fabricating superconducting devices together with other 2D materials using the layer-by-layer growth techniques.

description: The STAR collaboration at RHIC is measuring the production of electron-positron pairs at small impact parameters, larger than but already close to the range, where the ions interact strongly with each other. We calculate the total cross section, as well as, differential distributions of the pair production process with the electromagnetic excitation of both ions in a semiclassical approach and within a lowest order QED calculation. We compare the distribution of electron and positron with the one coming from the cross section calculation without restriction on impact parameter. Finally we give an outlook of possible results at the LHC.

description: Choice of payment vehicle (PV) is important to contingent-valuation practitioners. They are often left using scenarios that may elicit bias responses; for example hypothetical gate fees in open access areas. Utility bills may avoid bias, but introduce a scaling problem. A survey of north-Florida spring-based recreation calibrates these two dissimilar PVs.

description: A nonvanishing cosmological term in Einstein's equations implies a nonvanishing spacetime curvature even in absence of any kind of matter. It would, in consequence, affect many of the underlying kinematic tenets of physical theory. The usual commutative spacetime translations of the Poincare' group would be replaced by the mixed conformal translations of the de Sitter group, leading to obvious alterations in elementary concepts such as time, energy and momentum. Although negligible at small scales, such modifications may come to have important consequences both in the large and for the inflationary picture of the early Universe. A qualitative discussion is presented which suggests deep changes in Hamiltonian, Quantum and Statistical Mechanics. In the primeval universe as described by the standard cosmological model, in particular, the equations of state of the matter sources could be quite different from those usually introduced.

A note on holographic subregion complexity and QCD phase transition

description: Using holographic subregion complexity, we study the confinement-deconfinement phase transition of quantum chromodynamics. In the model we consider here, we observe a connection between the potential energy of probe meson and the behavior of its complexity. Moreover, near the critical point, at which the phase transition takes place, our numerical calculations indicate that we need less information to specify a meson in the non-conformal vacuum than in the conformal one, despite the fact that the non-conformal vacuum has larger energy!

 Comments: Froeschner (1988) listed this species under the preoccupied name, Cosmopepla bimaculata (Thomas, 1865). He correctly explained that it was not preoccupied by Pentatoma bimaculata Westwood, 1837, but apparently he was unaware of the description of Pentatoma bimaculata by Montrouzier (1855), predating Thomas’ Pentatoma bimaculata by ten years. See Rider & Rolston (1995) for clarification. So, many of the records for this species are under its synonyms, Cosmopepla bimaculata or Cosmopepla carnifex (Fabricius, 1798).

description: US swine production has undergone significant structural change in the last two decades, reflecting increasing size and specialization (Key and McBride; Key). In particular, the widespread use of contracting has enabled individual producers to grow by specializing in a single phase of production. Once dominated by small operations that practiced crop and hog farming along with other livestock enterprises, the industry has increasingly concentrated among large operations in most regions that produce hogs on several different sites (especially in North Carolina). Survey results for 2008-2011 indicate that some independent hog producers remain competitive, suggesting the rate of sharp decline in independent hog production that took place between 1992 and 2004 may have slowed. In future research we will sort on DuPont results more thoroughly to account for differences in organizational arrangement—whether farrowing or not---as production contracts tend to be much more prevalent on finish operations.

description: Our study investigates the fed cattle grid pricing system and its premium and discount incentive mechanism over time. We hypothesize that the influence of an animal's carcass quality attributes on a price grid's incentive mechanism can be revealed by evaluating the effect of carcass quality on an individual animal's grid determined carcass premium or discount. A pooled-crossed sectional data set containing carcass information on 604 fed steers evaluated weekly on the USDA-AMS publically reported price grid (National Carcass Premiums and Discounts for Slaughter Steers and Heifers) was constructed for the years 2001 to 2008 (238,000 observations). The empirical evidence suggests that carcass quality attributes price, select, and heavy weight have been gaining influence with respect to market valuation of individual animal's carcass characteristics.
Artificial Intelligence, Values and Alignment

description: This paper looks at philosophical questions that arise in the context of AI alignment. It defends three propositions. First, normative and technical aspects of the AI alignment problem are interrelated, creating space for productive engagement between people working in both domains. Second, it is important to be clear about the goal of alignment. There are significant differences between AI that aligns with instructions, intentions, revealed preferences, ideal preferences, interests and values. A principle-based approach to AI alignment, which combines these elements in a systematic way, has considerable advantages in this context. Third, the central challenge for theorists is not to identify 'true' moral principles for AI; rather, it is to identify fair principles for alignment, that receive reflective endorsement despite widespread variation in people's moral beliefs. The final part of the paper explores three ways in which fair principles for AI alignment could potentially be identified.
