description: After various reforms, China's agricultural administration system has been changing functions and improving structure, and it has basically met the requirements of agricultural and rural economic development, but in some areas, it can not be adapted to modern agricultural development. Based on the analysis of the necessity of improving agricultural administration system and the problems in current agricultural administration system, this paper comes up with the viable path choice of China's agricultural administration system reform.

description: New lactic acid derivatives were prepared and their mesomorphic properties presented in comparison with analogous compounds we pursued previously. Studied materials exhibit cholesteric (Ch) and twist grain boundary (TGB) phases on cooling from the isotropic phase (Iso). We found the helical pitch in Ch phase was rather short, less than the visible light wavelength, and grew quickly on cooling, so at the Ch-TGBA phase transition, we were able to observe the selective reflection in visible range. For the longest homologue, the Ch-TGBA-TGBC phase sequence was detected. Due to the positive dielectric anisotropy, the applied electric field reoriented molecules along the field and the effect analogous to Frederiks transition was observed in cholesteric and TGBA mesophases. X-ray diffraction measurements were performed to unambiguously confirm the phase identification.

description: Coherent and anticoherent states of spin systems up to spin j=2 are known to be optimal in order to detect rotations by a known angle but unknown rotation axis. These optimal quantum rotosensors are characterized by minimal fidelity, given by the overlap of a state before and after a rotation, averaged over all directions in space. We calculate a closed-form expression for the average fidelity in terms of anticoherent measures, valid for arbitrary values of the quantum number j. We identify optimal rotosensors (i) for arbitrary rotation angles in the case of spin quantum numbers up to j=7/2 and (ii) for small rotation angles in the case of spin quantum numbers up to j=5. The closed-form expression we derive allows us to explain the central role of anticoherence measures in the problem of optimal detection of rotation angles for arbitrary values of j.

description: Unilateral economic sanctions have become one of the most significant foreign policy tools used by most powerful developed nations across the globe. Some of these countries include Japan, Canada, Australia, and others. However, the United States (US) and European Union (EU), in particular, are very ardent users, having placed unilateral sanctions on North Korea, Iran, Venezuela, and partially on Russia, among others. It is an alternative to military intervention, war, or conflicts. Among these strong nations, the US is one country that applies unilateral sanctions than any other country in the world. Also, various successive US administrations have used this foreign policy tool one way or the other. Further, unilateral sanctions have become more popular in recent decades, and currently, the US has nearly 8000 sanctions in place worldwide, Iran and North Korea by far the largest state target. Though sanctions have existed for a long time, they still remain controversial international foreign policy tools. Notwithstanding, US application of unilateral economic sanctions by both present and previous successive administration is backed by legal authority including the trading with the enemy act (TWEA), the United Nations Participation Act (UNPA), the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). Nevertheless, there is legal controversy surrounding unilateral sanctions among critics and proponents, who are entrenched in the position that the developed countries used sanctions against smaller countries, including North Korea. What is more, this argument of controversy is still ongoing, and there seems to be no agreement between critics and proponents. This paper, therefore, provides a legal basis for unilateral sanctions used by the US against other countries, in particular, North Korea. Also, we will elaborate on the justification or otherwise of the legitimacy of US unilateral sanctions against North Korea. The paper is divided into four sections. The first section of this paper elaborates on the introduction, relations between North Korea and the US. Also, it highlights a general overview of unilateral sanctions and US unilateral sanctions on North Korea. The second section deals with the questions: Why do countries such as the US impose unilateral economic sanctions? What other bodies impose sanctions on North Korea? The third part deals with international concern about North Korea, and the fourth part also talks about certainties and issues that make North Korea a worldwide concern. The final part looks at U.S. Legislative Authority and justification or otherwise of the legitimacy of U.S unilateral sanctions

description: Based on the survey of 38 farmers’ specialized cooperatives in Hubei Province, this paper analyzed existing problems in internal management mechanism of cooperatives, including widespread problem of centralized control, imperfect supervision mechanism, lack of effective incentive mechanism, insufficient specialized personnel, and limited participation of cooperative members in management. It elaborated causes for these problems from the perspective of practice. Finally, it came up with recommendations for optimizing farmers’ specialized cooperatives: building democratic decision making mechanism with coordination of cooperative members and able personnel, establishing supervision mechanism suitable for self demands, improving internal incentive mechanism, establishing talent introduction and cultivation mechanism in proper time, and strengthening internal member management of cooperatives.

description: Dwarf galaxies are dark matter-dominated and therefore promising targets for the search for weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs), which are well-known candidates for dark matter. Annihilation of WIMPs produce ultra-relativistic cosmic-ray electrons and positrons that emit synchrotron radiation in the presence of magnetic fields. For typical magnetic field strengths (few $μ$G) and $\mathcal O$(GeV--TeV) WIMP masses, this emission peaks at hundreds of MHz. Here, we use the non-detection of 150-MHz radio continuum emission from the dwarf spheroidal galaxy Canes Venatici I with the LOw-Frequency ARray (LOFAR) to derive constraints on the annihilation cross section of WIMPs into primary electron-positron and other fundamental particle-antiparticle pairs. Our main underlying assumption is that the transport of the cosmic rays can be described by the diffusion approximation, thus requiring a non-zero magnetic field strength with small-scale structure. In particular, by adopting magnetic field strengths of $\mathcal O(1\,μ$G) and diffusion coefficients $\sim 10^{27}~\rm cm^2\,s^{-1}$, we obtain limits that are comparable with those set by \emph{Fermi} Large Area Telescope using gamma-ray observations of this particular galaxy. Assuming s-wave annihilation and WIMPs making up 100 per cent of the DM density, our benchmark limits exclude several thermal WIMP realisations in the $[2,20]$-GeV mass range. We caution, however, that our limits for the cross section are subject to enormous uncertainties which we also quantitatively assess. In particular, variations on the propagation parameters or on the DM halo can shift our limits up by several orders of magnitude (in the pessimistic scenario).

description: This paper analyzes a recent debate on regulating cyber weapons through multilateral export controls. The background relates to the amending of the international Wassenaar Arrangement with offensive cyber security technologies known as intrusion software. Implicitly, such software is related to previously unregulated software vulnerabilities and exploits, which also make the ongoing debate particularly relevant. By placing the debate into a historical context, the paper reveals interesting historical parallels, elaborates the political background, and underlines many ambiguity problems related to rigorous definitions for cyber weapons. Many difficult problems remaining for framing offensive security tools with multilateral export controls are also pointed out.

description: This is a proposed Nigerian model of e-voting. The lessons learnt and huge successes recorded from countries that have practiced e-voting system such as Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Estonia, France Germany, India, Ireland, Netherlands, Norway, Switzerland, United Kingdom and the United States of America beaconed hope for adopting E-voting system as capable of proffering solution to electoral rigging in emerging Nigerian democracy. This paper concludes that while electronic voting is not a magic wand, it is the surest way yet for Nigeria to join the league of countries that have wiped out electoral fraud, which is the worst form of corruption. Concurrently, it is also the best way to hand over for the incoming regimes.

description: Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) usually exhibit layered polytypic structures due to the weak interlayer coupling. 2H-NbSe2 is one of the most widely studied in the pristine TMDC family due to its high superconducting transition temperature (Tc = 7.3K) and the occurrence of a charge-density wave (CDW) order below 33 K. The coexistence of CDW with superconductivity poses an intriguing open question about the relationship between Fermi surface nesting and Cooper pairing. Past studies of this issue have mostly been focused on doping 2H-NbSe2 by 3d transition metals without significantly changing its crystal structure. Here we replaced the Se by Te in 2H-NbSe2 in order to design a new 1T polytype layered TMDC NbSeTe, which adopts a trigonal structure with space group P-3m1. We successfully grew large size and high-quality single crystals of 1T-NbSeTe via the vapor transport method using I2 as the transport agent. Temperature-dependent resistivity and specific heat data revealed a bulk Tc at 1.3 K, which is the first observation of superconductivity in pure 1T-NbSeTe phase. This compound enlarged the family of superconducting TMDCs and provides an opportunity to study the interplay between CDW and superconductivity in the trigonal structure.

description: In an experiment at the SISSI-LISE3 facility of GANIL, the decay of the proton drip-line nucleus Fe45 has been studied after projectile fragmentation of a Ni58 primary beam at 75 MeV/nucleon impinging on a natural nickel target. Fragment-implantation events have been correlated with radioactive decay events in a 16x16 pixel silicon strip detector on an event-by-event basis. The decay-energy spectrum of Fe45 implants shows a distinct peak at (1.06+/-0.04)MeV with a half-life of T1/2 = (4.7+3.4-1.4)ms. None of the events in this peak is in coincidence with beta particles which were searched for in a detector next to the implantation detector. For a longer correlation interval, daughter decays of the two-proton daughter Cr43 can be observed after Fe45 implantation. The decay energy for Fe45 agrees nicely with several theoretical predictions for two-proton emission. Barrier-penetration calculations slightly favour a di-proton emission picture over an emission of two individual protons and point thus to a He2 emission mode.

description: Desa Singapadu Tengah is a traditional Balinese village in the Sukawati Subdistrict, Gianyar Regency, Bali which has long been known as one of the centers of sculpture industry and traditional Balinese ornaments. In the present, through the full support of the Gianyar Regency Government, this village began to develop itself into a tourist village. Of the five Banjar in its territory, the Belaluan Adat Banjar area has been plotted as a tourist attraction for traditional Balinese settlements. This is based on the magnitude of the potential of the cultural sector and traditional residential architecture that is still sustainable in this Banjar area. In the process of structuring these traditional settlement attractions, the village has applied many local wisdom values, and local traditions adapted to various stages, starting from the planning process, development to the management program. The description of this phenomenon has prompted the desire to conduct a study which aims to find out the existence of local wisdom values in the process of planning, building, and managing residential attractions in the area. This research is classified into qualitative research, where the study phase is done deductively. The results of the study show that Bali's local wisdom values have been adapted and applied in the planning, development, and management stages of tourist villages in the Belaluan region.

description: When This Is Us premiered in September of 2016 on NBC, it did so in a media landscape (including both networks and streaming platforms) populated by several series that heavily relied on nostalgia with dramas such as The Americans (FX, 2013-18), Masters of Sex (Showtime, 2013-16), Halt and Catch Fire (AMC, 2014-17), or Aquarius (NBC, 2015-16), By the middle of the 2010s, American TV series retromania was in full gear, and I would contend that Dan Fogelman’s This Is Us crystallizes this retrophilia craze. The six-season long series revolves around the Pearsons, an a-typical All-American family that the viewers get to know over a time-span of 60-something years full of flashbacks and flash forwards. They are brought back and forth in an intertwined narrative that puts resilience and happiness at the core of its main storyline, following a gallery of characters that all impersonate a key characteristic of the American society. While starting with somewhat essentializing characterization, This Is Us mitigates these archetypes, clichés and prejudices with multi-layered storytelling and delivers a series that has met the American audiences and critiques with largely positive reviews, a consensus rare enough in American network television to be mentioned. At the crossroads of cultural and production studies, this article intends to analyze the series’ content and context, as it explored complicated socio-economic and cultural issues through the evolving bonds of the Pearson family which personifies Americana and its many commodified artefacts. At a moment when America was becoming more and more politically divided, This Is Us created a space of dialogue and communion in which being blue or red didn’t mean much as the values put forth in the series were first and foremost traditional/universal ones. The context of the series and its clear inspirations (Sense8 to name but one) will also be addressed and will attempt to emphasize the metafictional dimension of the series itself as a cultural by-product specifically designed and imagined to inspire as well as revive the one quest to which anyone can relate to: the pursuit of happiness.

description: We report the serendipitous detection in high-resolution optical spectroscopy of a strong, asymmetric Ly-alpha emission line at z = 5.190. The detection was made in a 2.25 hour exposure with the Echelle Spectrograph and Imager on the Keck II telescope through a spectroscopic slit of dimensions 1" x 20". The progenitor of the emission line, J123649.2+621539 (hereafter ES1), lies in the Hubble Deep Field North West Flanking Field where it appears faint and compact, subtending just 0.3" (FWHM) with I(AB) = 25.4. The ES1 Ly-alpha line flux of 3.0 x 10^(-17) ergs/cm^2/s corresponds to a luminosity of 9.0 x 10^(42) ergs/s, and the line profile shows the sharp blue cut-off and broad red wing commonly observed in star-forming systems and expected for radiative transfer in an expanding envelope. We find that the Ly-alpha profile is consistent with a galaxy-scale outflow with a velocity of v > 300 km/s. This value is consistent with wind speeds observed in powerful local starbursts (typically 10^2 to 10^3 km/s), and compares favorably to simulations of the late-stage evolution of Ly-alpha emission in star-forming systems. We discuss the implications of this high-redshift galactic wind for the early history of the evolution of galaxies and the intergalactic medium, and for the origin of the UV background at z > 3.

description: Variation in the performance of providers across healthcare systems is pervasive. It is recognised as both a major concern and an opportunity for learning and improvement. Variation between providers is broadly considered to be due to management practices and contextual factors such as catchment-area demographics. However, there is little understanding of the ways in which these impact on performance and how they can be measured. We use recent developments in both regression trees and panel regression techniques to explore and then statistically test complementary alignments of management practices whilst taking into account contextual factors. We apply this to 5 years of NHS hospital trust data, examining performance on short-notice cancellation rates. We find that different alignments of management practices give rise to quite different short-notice cancellation rates between trusts, with some being substantially lower. Our research offers a data-driven approach for identifying optimal clusters of management practices.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We revisit the scalar singlet dark matter (DM) scenario with a pair of dark lepton partners which form a vectorlike Dirac fermionic doublet. The extra doublet couples with the Standard Model (SM) leptonic doublet and the scalar singlet via a non-SM-like Yukawa structure. As a result, (i) since the extra fermionic states interact with other dark sector particles as well as the SM via gauge and Yukawa interactions, it gives rise to new DM annihilation processes including pair annihilation as well as coannihilation channels, and (ii) such a Yukawa structure opens up new production channels for leptonic final states giving much enhancement in cross sections to search for dark matter in the LHC. Using suitable kinematic observables, we train a {\em boosted decision tree} (BDT) classifier to separate enhanced but still feeble light leptonic signals from the background in an effective manner. On the other hand, the same technique is applied to study $τ$-tagged jets in the search for DM signals.

description: We present numerical magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of the effect of stellar dipole magnetic fields on line-driven wind outflows from hot, luminous stars. Unlike previous fixed-field analyses, the simulations here take full account of the dynamical competition between field and flow, and thus apply to a full range of magnetic field strength, and within both closed and open magnetic topologies. A key result is that the overall degree to which the wind is influenced by the field depends largely on a single, dimensionless, `wind magnetic confinement parameter', $η_{\ast}$ ($ = B_{eq}^2 R_\ast^2/{\dot M} v_\infty$), which characterizes the ratio between magnetic field energy density and kinetic energy density of the wind. For weak confinement $η_{\ast} \le 1$, the field is fully opened by the wind outflow, but nonetheless for confinements as small as $η_{\ast}=1/10$ can have a significant back-influence in enhancing the density and reducing the flow speed near the magnetic equator. For stronger confinement $η_{\ast} > 1$, the magnetic field remains closed over a limited range of latitude and height about the equatorial surface, but eventually is opened into a nearly radial configuration at large radii.

description: This paper describes novel models tailored for a new application, that of extracting the symptoms mentioned in clinical conversations along with their status. Lack of any publicly available corpus in this privacy-sensitive domain led us to develop our own corpus, consisting of about 3K conversations annotated by professional medical scribes. We propose two novel deep learning approaches to infer the symptom names and their status: (1) a new hierarchical span-attribute tagging (\SAT) model, trained using curriculum learning, and (2) a variant of sequence-to-sequence model which decodes the symptoms and their status from a few speaker turns within a sliding window over the conversation. This task stems from a realistic application of assisting medical providers in capturing symptoms mentioned by patients from their clinical conversations. To reflect this application, we define multiple metrics. From inter-rater agreement, we find that the task is inherently difficult. We conduct comprehensive evaluations on several contrasting conditions and observe that the performance of the models range from an F-score of 0.5 to 0.8 depending on the condition. Our analysis not only reveals the inherent challenges of the task, but also provides useful directions to improve the models.

description: This paper proposes a methodology to weight benefit/cost analysis in a way that increases the policy focus on food insecure households. Such a weighting may be important to policy makers such as the Consulting Group for International Agricultural Research who must choose between research and development alternatives in developing countries. Specifically, the weights can be set to emphasize the needs of low-resource households and smallholder agriculture.

description: Empirical studies that analyze the gender gap in livestock ownership are scarce. This paper investigates gender differences in livestock holding using five waves of survey data (1998-2010) from Northern Ethiopia. By employing decomposition analysis, we find that female-headed households (FHHs) own significantly fewer livestock compared to male-headed households (MHHs). Differences in observed characteristics and returns to characteristics account for 29 and 51 percent of the gender difference, respectively. Lower endowment of land area, male labor and children (aged 6 to 14) in FHHs are the observed factors causing the disparity. Gender difference is more pronounced in the ownership of large animals than in the ownership of small animals. Findings are relevant for gender-sensitive public interventions that aim to promote livestock accumulation.

description: Variation in the performance of providers across healthcare systems is pervasive. It is recognised as both a major concern and an opportunity for learning and improvement. Variation between providers is broadly considered to be due to management practices and contextual factors such as catchment-area demographics. However, there is little understanding of the ways in which these impact on performance and how they can be measured. We use recent developments in both regression trees and panel regression techniques to explore and then statistically test complementary alignments of management practices whilst taking into account contextual factors. We apply this to 5 years of NHS hospital trust data, examining performance on short-notice cancellation rates. We find that different alignments of management practices give rise to quite different short-notice cancellation rates between trusts, with some being substantially lower. Our research offers a data-driven approach for identifying optimal clusters of management practices.

description: We present X-ray spectral analysis of Seyfert 1.5 Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) NGC~4151 using \textit{NuSTAR} observation during 2012. This is the first attempt to fit an AGN data using the physical Two Component Advective flow (TCAF) solution. We disentangle the continuum emission properties of the source in the energy range $3.0$ to $70.0$~keV using the spectrum obtained from TCAF model. This model was used as an additive local model directly in {\fontfamily{qcr}\selectfont XSPEC}. Additionally, we used a power law (PL) component, to take care of possible X-ray contribution from the jet, which is not incorporated in the present version of TCAF. Our primary aim is to obtain the flow properties and the mass of the central supermassive black hole from the available archival data. Our best estimate of the average mass obtained from spectral fits of three observations, is $M_{BH}=3.03^{+0.26}_{-0.26}\times 10^7 M_\odot$. This is consistent with earlier estimations in the literature such as reverberation mapping, gas kinematics and stellar dynamics around black holes. We also discuss the accretion dynamics and the flow geometry on the basis of model fitted physical parameters. Model fitted disk accretion rate is found to be lower than the low angular momentum halo accretion rate, indicating that the source was in a hard state during the observation.

description: This paper examines adoption of drought tolerant maize varieties under rainfall stress in Malawi using correlated random effects Probit and Tobit models with control function approach. Drought tolerant maize is a promising technology that has the capacity to help smallholder farmers adapt to drought risks. Using 2009, 2012 and 2015 data from six districts, results show adoption has increased from 46% in 2009 to 59% in 2015. The likelihood of adoption is significantly increased by drought with early droughts having greater impact (31%) than late droughts (20%). Early droughts are also associated with an increased acreage of land allocated to drought tolerant maize and quantity of seed planted. However lagged drought variables appear to negatively affect adoption. The possible explanation is that the years preceding the surveys were associated with good rains such that farmers responded by buying less of drought tolerant maize anticipating similar rainfall pattern. Another important driver of adoption is the farm input subsidy programme. However, while access to subsidised seed increases both adoption and intensity of adoption, previous year’s access has a negative impact. This suggests that the increased adoption is due to availability of cheap seed as opposed to farmers’ previous exposure to the varieties. This may indicate limited awareness on the benefits of drought tolerant maize varieties. This is also consistent with extension visits positively affecting adoption. Good extension messages and promotion of drought tolerant maize varieties should be improved to allow farmers make informed decisions.
Turbulent convection and high-frequency internal wave details in 1-m shallow waters

description: Vertically 0.042-m-spaced moored high-resolution temperature sensors are used for detailed internal wave-turbulence monitoring near Texel North Sea and Wadden Sea beaches on calm summer days. In the maximum 2 m deep waters irregular internal waves are observed supported by the density stratification during day-times warming in early summer, outside the breaking zone of <0.2 m surface wind waves. Internal-wave-induced convective overturning near the surface and shear-driven turbulence near the bottom are observed in addition to near-bottom convective overturning due to heating from below. Small turbulent overturns have durations of 5-20 s, close to the surface wave period and about one-third to one-tenth of the shortest internal wave period. The largest turbulence dissipation rates are estimated to be of the same order of magnitude as found above deep-ocean seamounts, while overturning scales are observed 100 times smaller. The turbulence inertial subrange is observed to link between the internal and surface wave spectral bands.

description: This research aims to examine factors associated to the gender roles socialization of working women. Quantitative methodology was employed with individual level as a unit of analysis. The sample consisted of 398 women who are working in government agencies and private enterprise. The samples were randomly selected by multi-stage sampling technique in 9 municipals of major city. The data were collected using the interview schedule from May to June 2018 and analyzed by descriptive statistics and Chi-square. The results revealed that most of women samples (55.6 %) were in the Generation Y (19-38 years old). 51.3 percentages of the women samples were married, and 43.7 percentages got bachelor degree or higher. Most women, samples (54.3 %) have gender roles socialization in traditional style by the principle, Women should be a housewife. When analyzing factors associated to the gender roles socialization of working women with Chi-square, it was found that the characteristics of women (education level) and work condition factors (organization size and the understanding of women's labor rights) are the factors that associated to the gender roles socialization of working women at statistically significant 0.01 level.
