description: The asymmetric trade flow of agricultural goods can serve as a clue to help understand unobservable agricultural competitiveness, infrastructural efficiency for exports, and net openness to imports. In order to identify these three factors from agricultural trade data, we adapt a trade model developed by Eaton and Kortum. Unlike Eaton and Kortum, we interpret specific country dummy variables as proxies representing these three factors. This study makes four important findings. First, agricultural trade flow is strongly related to net openness to imports but less to agricultural competitiveness. Second, agricultural competitiveness is more related to land endowments than economic development. Third, economic development improves infrastructural efficiency for agricultural exports. Finally, existing agricultural import restrictions are shown to be punitive.

description: The work of Buch and Fulton established a formula for a general kind of degeneracy locus associated to an oriented quiver of type $A$. The main ingredients in this formula are Schur determinants and certain integers, the quiver coefficients, which generalize the classical Littlewood-Richardson coefficients. Our aim in this paper is to prove a positive combinatorial formula for the quiver coefficients when the rank conditions defining the degeneracy locus are given by a permutation. In particular, this gives new expansions for Fulton's universal Schubert polynomials and the Schubert polynomials of Lascoux and Schützenberger.

description: Preparing future professionals for highly dynamic settings require self-directed learning in authentic learning situations. Authentic learning situations imply teamwork. Therefore, designing education for future professionals requires an understanding of how self-directed learning develops in teams. We followed (bio-)medical sciences students (n = 15) during an 8-month period in which they worked on an innovation project in teams of 4–6 students. Template analysis of 39 transcripts of audio-recorded group meetings revealed three mechanisms along which group dynamics influenced self-directed learning behaviour. First, if expressions of emotions were met with an inquisitive response, this resulted in self-monitoring or feelings of responsibility. Second, openness in the group towards creativity or idea exploration stimulated critical thinking. Third, disputational talk frustrated learning, because it adversely affected group cohesion. We conclude that emotions, openness, and relatedness are important drivers of self-directed learning in teams and hence should be given explicit attention in designing collaborative learning for future professionals.

description: We present new Hubble Space Telescope images of the gravitational lens PKS 1830-211, which allow us to characterize the lens galaxy and update the determination of the Hubble constant from this system. The I-band image shows that the lens galaxy is a face-on spiral galaxy with clearly delineated spiral arms. The southwestern image of the background quasar passes through one of the spiral arms, explaining the previous detections of large quantities of molecular gas and dust in front of this image. The lens galaxy photometry is consistent with the Tully-Fisher relation, suggesting the lens galaxy is a typical spiral galaxy for its redshift. The lens galaxy position, which was the main source of uncertainty in previous attempts to determine H_0, is now known precisely. Given the current time delay measurement and assuming the lens galaxy has an isothermal mass distribution, we compute H_0 = 44 +/- 9 km/s/Mpc for an Omega_m = 0.3 flat cosmological model. We describe some possible systematic errors and how to reduce them. We also discuss the possibility raised by Courbin et al. (2002), that what we have identified as a single lens galaxy is actually a foreground star and two separate galaxies.

description: Some oxygen defective metal oxides, such as cerium and bismuth oxides, have recently shown exceptional electrostrictive properties that are even superior to the best performing lead-based electrostrictors, e.g. lead-magnesium-niobates (PMN). Compared to piezoelectric ceramics, electromechanical mechanisms of such materials do not depend on crystalline symmetry, but on the concentration of oxygen vacancy in the lattice. In this work, we investigate for the first time the role of oxygen defect configuration on the electro-chemo-mechanical properties. This is achieved by tuning the oxygen defects blocking barrier density in polycrystalline gadolinium doped ceria with known oxygen vacancy concentration, Ce0.9Gd0.1O2-x,x= 0.05. Nanometric starting powders of ca. 12 nm are sintered in different conditions, including field assisted spark plasma sintering (SPS), fast firing and conventional method at high temperatures. These approaches allow controlling grain size and Gd-dopant diffusion, i.e. via thermally driven solute drag mechanism. By correlating the electro-chemo-mechanical properties, we show that oxygen vacancy distribution in the materials play a key role in ceria electrostriction, overcoming the expected contributions from grain size and dopant concentration.

description: In order to identify the effect on trade creation and diversion of NAFTA in the North American strawberry market, this study conducts a partial equilibrium analysis by using the CES utility and production functions of Dixit and Stiglitz which provide necessary equations to estimate unobservable final prices of imported strawberries and non-tariff trade costs. Based on the results of this study, we could confirm that 1) the effect on trade creation of NAFTA is greater than the effect on trade diversion, which leads to positive effect of NAFTA on the North American strawberry market, 2) the difference between the local price and the imported price might be due to high non-tariff trade costs that exist between borders, 3) market integration simulation shows trade creation of 453% and no trade diversion, and 4) market segregation simulation shows that trade volume in the regional market decreases by 26% and trade volume out of regional market increases by 1045%.

description: Forensic Science Laboratories of Maharashtra state, India, receives large number of poisoning cases pertaining pharmaceutical drug overdose and illicit drugs. Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) is a method of choice for chemical analysis due to large number of biological/non-biological samples received. This study reports cobalt thiocyanate reagent to be more effective in detecting nitrogen containing drugs like chloroquine, chlorphenamine, mephedrone, cocaine, ketamine in addition to pesticides like pretilachlor, thiamethoxam and tebuconazole when aided by TLC. These compounds (except for ketamine which gives purple) form blue color when reacted with cobalt thiocyanate due to the formation of tetrahedral cobalt (II) thiocyanate complex. However due to lack of experimental evidences, quantum mechanical calculations have been employed to deduce their structures. The theoretical structure elucidation methodology is based on examining crystal structures of ligands having similar structural relationship to present drug molecules and investigating reactive sites in each drug molecule via.

description: In this work, graphene-oxide nanofilm modified glassy carbon electrode (GO@GCE) as a highly sensitive electrochemical sensor was developed and used as electrocatalyst for the detection of pharmaceutically active 8-hydroxy-5-nitro-quinoline (HNQ) moiety, for the first time. Electrochemical behaviour of HNQ moiety on the fabricated sensor was explored by CV, CC, EIS, DPSV techniques and results indicated that the electrode process was diffusion controlled influenced by the adsorption. Spectra of EIS exhibited a big decrease in charge transfer resistance (Rct), which refers the highest conductivity with the GO@GCE sensor as compared to bare GCE, TiO2@GCE, and f-MWCNT@GCE electrocatalysts. Under optimized conditions, cathodic peak current in differential pulse stripping voltammograms as well as cyclic voltammograms gave a linear increasing response of HNQ reduction over a concentration range of 29.7-115.4 μmol L-1 and 29.7-222.2 μmol L-1 respectively with a regression factor of 0.998 and 0.987 correspondingly. The GO@GCE sensor revealed tremendous electrocatalytic features with great promise for sensitivity, repeatability, reproducibility, and quantitative/qualitative screening, detection toward reduction of nitro group in HNQ moiety. Finally, the proposed GO@GCE sensor was effectively applied for the fast laboratory assay of HNQ moiety in neutral universal buffer as supporting electrolyte.
B -> V gamma at NLO from QCD Factorization

description: We discuss the exclusive radiative B-meson decays B -> K* gamma and B -> rho gamma in a model-independent manner. The analysis is based on the heavy-quark limit of QCD. This allows a factorization of perturbatively calculable contributions to the B -> V gamma matrix elements from non-perturbative form factors and universal light-cone distribution amplitudes. These results allow us to compute exclusive b -> s(d) gamma decays systematically beyond the leading logarithmic approximation. We present results for these decays complete to next-to-leading order in QCD and to leading order in the heavy-quark limit. Phenomenological implications for various observables of interest are discussed, including direct CP violation and isospin breaking effects.

description: In order to analyze the effect of NAFTA on the North American sweet potato market, this study uses both observable trade data such as trade volumes and home prices and unobservable trade data such as imported prices and non-tariff trade costs. The unobservable trade data are estimated by the model used in this study. Unlike previous studies, this study confirms that the degree of integration in the North American sweet potato markets is relatively low because the three individual sweet potato markets are mostly dominated by their own product and the difference between home and imported prices in each NAFTA member country have increased from pre-NAFTA to post-NAFTA levels. Two counterfactual analyses confirm that low levels of market integration may be due to high non-tariff trade costs.

description: An observational result of a radio continuum and H92$α$ radio recombination line of the Galactic Center Lobe (GCL), using the Yamaguchi 32 m radio telescope, is reported. The obtained spatial intensity distribution of the radio recombination line shows two distinctive ridge-like structures extending from the galactic plane vertically to the north at the eastern and western sides of the galactic center, which are connected to each other at a latitude of $1.2^{\circ}$ to form a loop-like structure as a whole. This suggests that most of the radio continuum emission of the GCL is free-free emission, and that the GCL is filled with thermal plasma. The east ridge of the GCL observed with the radio recombination line separates 30 pc from the radio arc, which has been considered as a part of the GCL, but coincides with a ridge of the radio continuum at a galactic longitude of $0^{\circ}$. The radial velocity of the radio recombination line is found to be between $-4$ and $+10$ km s$^{-1}$ across the GCL. This velocity is much smaller than the one expected from the galactic rotation, and hence indicates that the GCL exists apart from the galactic center. These characteristics of the GCL suggest that the long-standing hypothesis that the GCL was created by an explosive activity in the galactic center is unlikely, but favor that the GCL is a giant HII region.

description: A significant post-Soviet agricultural trend is the rise of super-large scale agroholdings. The emergence of these farming companies has occasioned a debate on whether such farms are economically and socially optimal: are they are more efficient than smaller scale farms, and are they squeezing out smaller producers from the market? In this debate, 'agroholding' is used as a blanket term covering a diversity of different types of farms. This was adequate when this trend was first emerging, but now it is increasingly inadequate to describe the many different types of farms with different orientations that are developing. With the purpose of better defining different kinds of large-scale farms in the former Soviet Union, we propose in this research to develop a critical and empirically grounded typology of different farm companies, differentiating farms according to degree and kind of integration (horizontal or vertical), main orientation (primary crop production or food processing), and origin of capital (foreign, local, stock market, private equity). These distinctions will help to distinguish more successful business models from less successful, provide greater understanding of recent trends in the agricultural sector in the region, and help understand the future role such farm organizations might have in food production.

description: We compute the photon creation inside a perfectly conducting, three dimensional oscillating cavity, taking the polarization of the electromagnetic field into account. As the boundary conditions for this field are both of Dirichlet and (generalized) Neumann type, we analyze as a preliminary step the dynamical Casimir effect for a scalar field satisfying generalized Neumann boundary conditions. We show that particle production is enhanced with respect to the case of Dirichlet boundary conditions. Then we consider the transverse electric and transverse magnetic polarizations of the electromagnetic field. For resonant frequencies, the total number of photons grows exponentially in time for both polarizations, the rate being greater for transverse magnetic modes.

description: The present research work encompasses systematic development of a simple, fast, sensi- tive, reproducible and cost-effective reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic (RP-HPLC) method, applying the principles of Quality by design (QbD) for quantification of raloxifene hydrochloride (RLX). Reversed-phase chromatography was carried out using Waters Acquity high-performance liquid chro- matographic system (HPLC), equipped with photodiode array (PDA) detector controlled by Empower 2® software, using a Hibar Purospher® STAR C18 (250 x 4.6 mm; 5 μm) HPLC column. Initial risk assessment followed by screening studies was carried out using a four-factor-eight-run fractional factorial design (FFD). Subsequently, optimization studies were carried out employing a central composite design (CCD) with flow rate and mobile phase ratio as the critical method parameters (CMPs), and tailing factor (TF), % assay and theoretical plate count (TPC) as the critical analytical attributes (CAAs). The optimal chromatographic sepa- ration was conducted using graphical and numerical optimization with the mobile phase composition of methanol and sodium acetate buffer (pH 4) in the ratio of 50:50 (% v/v) at a flow rate of 1mL/min, an oven temperature of 40°C at a λmax of 287 nm. Linearity was observed in the concentration range of 0.5-100 μg/mL, with a correlation coefficient of 0.999. Further, the LOD and LOQ were found to be 0.5432 ng/mL and 1.6461 ng/mL respectively. The developed method was validated as per the ICH Q2 (R1) guidelines, and the principles and science of analytical quality by design (AQbD) for establishing a high degree of linearity, accuracy, precision, sensitivity and robustness, for estimating RLX in bulk drugs and marketed formulations.

description: Mass sensing connects the mass variation to a frequency shift of a mechanical oscillator, whose limitation is determined by its mechanical frequency resolution. Here we propose a method to enlarge a minute mechanical frequency shift, which is smaller than the linewidth of the mechanical oscillator, into a huge frequency shift of the normal mode. Explicitly, a frequency shift of about 20 Hz of the mechanical oscillator would be magnified to be a 1 MHz frequency shift in the normal mode, which increases it by five orders of magnitude. This enhancement relies on the sensitivity appearing near the quantum critical point of the electromechanical system. We show that a mechanical frequency shift of 1 Hz could be resolved with a mechanical resonance frequency $ω_b = 11\times 2π$ MHz. Namely, an ultrasensitive mechanical mass sensor of the resolution $Δm /m \sim2Δω_b/ω_b\sim 10^{-8}$ could be achieved. Our method has potential application in mass sensing and other techniques based on the frequency shift of a mechanical oscillator.

description: Voluntary reformulation of food products by the industry is one of the key pillars of the EU Salt Campaign aimed at reducing the daily salt intake in the population. Using the National Diet and Nutrition Surveys in the UK a decade apart, this paper applies regression-based counterfactual decomposition methods to quantify the contribution of product reformulation to reduction in the salt intake observed in the UK. We find that ongoing product reformulation efforts have made a significant contribution to a reduction in the salt intake of the UK population. The significant contribution of reformulation to reduction in salt intakes is in sharp contrast to the results for calories and macronutrients such as fats and sugars where reformulation appears to have a very limited impact on population level intakes. The contribution of different product groups to reduction in salt intake varies substantially across the quantiles of salt intakes. We find that certain product groups which are usually not perceived as being major contributors to excessive salt intakes (e.g., cereals and egg dishes) are important drivers of salt consumption across all segments. However, the differences in the food-product preference across population segments suggests that product-reformulation efforts may have to be targeted at different product groups to influence the salt intakes of different segments.

description: According to FAO (2008) the year 2006 was identified as the ‘peak’ of the highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 with 60 countries reporting outbreaks. The UK had its first confirmed AI outbreak in March 2006 and, to date, the country has experienced eleven AI outbreaks. Most countries reporting AI outbreaks had, as a result, experienced a highly negative impact on their poultry consumption. This paper sets out to examine how AI outbreaks affected UK consumer demand for poultry. Pilot data have been obtained on a four weekly basis from the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB) for the period May 2nd 2010 to March 1st 2015. By employing the Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS) model, the preliminary results have indicated that during the examined period poultry meat had the highest demand in terms of monetary amounts accounting for 43 per cent of the market. Overall, the pilot data revealed that there is no evidence to support that the occurrence of an AI outbreak, either in the UK or elsewhere in the world, had affected consumption of poultry in the UK. This result complies with the FAS London statement that UK consumers have ‘faith’ in poultry.

description: With agricultural extension being an important method of knowledge transfer and promoting innovation, we explore the factors associated with extension participation in the case of Irish cattle farmers. The cattle sector has a high reliance on direct payments and off farm employment is prevalent; we explore how these factors affect extension participation making use of data from a government funded extension program. By applying a sequential logit model, we found that subsidy dependence and off farm employment both had a significant and negative impact on participation.

description: An element w in the free group on r letters defines a map f from G^r to G for each group G. In this note, we show that whenever w is non-trivial and G is a semisimple algebraic group, f is dominant. When G is a finite simple group, the ratio \log |f(G^r)| over \log |G| tends to 1 as the order of G tends to infinity.

description: Existing tools to detect text generated by a large language model (LLM) have met with certain success, but their performance can drop when dealing with texts in new domains. To tackle this issue, we train a ranking classifier called RoBERTa-Ranker, a modified version of RoBERTa, as a baseline model using a dataset we constructed that includes a wider variety of texts written by humans and generated by various LLMs. We then present a method to fine-tune RoBERTa-Ranker that requires only a small amount of labeled data in a new domain. Experiments show that this fine-tuned domain-aware model outperforms the popular DetectGPT and GPTZero on both in-domain and cross-domain texts, where AI-generated texts may either be in a different domain or generated by a different LLM not used to generate the training datasets. This approach makes it feasible and economical to build a single system to detect AI-generated texts across various domains.

description: Virtual reality (VR) has re-emerged as a low-cost, highly accessible consumer product, and training on simulators is rapidly becoming standard in many industrial sectors. However, the available systems are either focusing on gaming context, featuring limited capabilities or they support only content creation of virtual environments without any rapid prototyping and modification. In this project, we propose a code-free, visual scripting platform to replicate gamified training scenarios through rapid prototyping and VR software design patterns. We implemented and compared two authoring tools: a) visual scripting and b) VR editor for the rapid reconstruction of VR training scenarios. Our visual scripting module is capable to generate training applications utilizing a node-based scripting system whereas the VR editor gives user/developer the ability to customize and populate new VR training scenarios directly from the virtual environment. We also introduce action prototypes, a new software design pattern suitable to replicate behavioral tasks for VR experiences. In addition, we present the training scenegraph architecture as the main model to represent training scenarios on a modular, dynamic and highly adaptive acyclic graph based on a structured educational curriculum. Finally, a user-based evaluation of the proposed solution indicated that users - regardless of their programming expertise - can effectively use the tools to create and modify training scenarios in VR.

description: We examine how to achieve Norway’s commitment for a 40% reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions under the 2015 UN climate change agreement in the agricultural sector. Norway also aims to ensure food security, defined in terms of a target level of calorie availability from domestic food production. Imposing the GHG reduction commitment considerably reduces the policy space, but can be achieved by shifting by shifting production away from ruminant products to vegetable products. Using a detailed sectoral model of Norwegian agriculture we examine the use of a carbon tax to achieve the required GHG reduction. Differentiating between lower emission dairy products and high emission red meat (beef and sheepmeat) we show that the GHG and food security targets can be achieved while substantially maintaining dairy farming – which is a core activity in Norway’s rural areas. The imposition of a carbon tax in agriculture may pose technical and political challenges. We demonstrate that by rebalancing existing domestic support policies, in particular, reducing the subsidies provided to ruminant meat production we can achieve an outcome that is broadly similar to the carbon tax.

description: Chromium (Cr) is commonly added into various metal alloys to improve some mechanical properties such as corrosion resistance, strength, and workability. However, Cr is also known to be a metal allergen for some individuals. Metal allergy is a T cell-mediated disease with symptoms of inflammation and swelling that involve inflammatory cytokines and prostaglandins. Hence, suppressing these inflammation paths by using COX-2 inhibitor might be useful in treating Cr allergy. In this study, mice were used with Cr-induced allergy challenge model. The mice were injected with celecoxib once per day for 7 days one hour after the challenge. Footpad samples were stained with haematoxylin and eosin (H&E), and lymphocytes were isolated from popliteal lymph nodes for the flow cytometric analysis. The results show that both prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), a known mediator of inflammation, and cyclooxygenases (COX)-2 have important roles in the development of Cr allergy. Further, COX-2 inhibitor, celecoxib, was effective in relieving swelling and inflammation in Cr-allergic mice concordant with suppression of IFN-γ production by CD8+ T cells and T cell accumulation in the lymph nodes. Therefore, the inhibition of COX-2 may be a therapeutic target for Cr allergy, and additional molecules in the PGE2 signalling pathway may also be an effective therapeutic target for the treatment of metal allergy.

description: In this paper we construct the 2+1 effective theory of the light states in D2/D4-brane system in the context of noncommutative Yang-Mills theory. This effective theory is noncommutative and tachyonic, however, it is not taking the form of an Abelian Higgs model as naively expected. We solve the classical solutions of the effective theory which are nicely corresponding to different states during the tachyon condensation process of the dissolution of D2-brane into D4-brane. We also find that if the expected stable self-dual D0/D4 configuration as the unit-winding vortex exists, it would be highly calibrated in the effective theory and be out of the reach of the analytic solutions.

description: Livestock is a very significant sector in Irish agriculture and it could possibly mitigate a large amount of greenhouse gas emissions. However, farmers’ awareness and acceptance towards climate change might be a significant barrier to voluntary adoption of best practice techniques. This paper presents results from a supplementary survey of 747 Irish farmers conducted as part of the National Farm Survey (NFS) in 2014, with a view to understanding farmers’ awareness of and attitudes to climate change and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Survey results showed that there was a general uncertainty towards a number of agricultural GHG emissions related questions and that farmers’ attitude towards GHG emissions reduction was not very positive. In order to explore further farmers’ attitudes towards climate change, a multinomial logit model was used to examine the socio-economic factors that affect farmers’ willingness to adopt an advisory tool that would show the potential reduction in GHG emissions from the adoption of new technologies. Results showed that investment in machinery, awareness, region, environmental subsidies, use of social networking, agri-training encouraged adoption while off-farm income was negatively related to adoption.
