description: The main target of agriculture is to make the profit and the food production represents the function of agriculture. The economic and financial strength of agriculture system –producers is main paramether market position and verification in conditions of market economy and more and more agresive foreign competitors. In actual conditions of domestic agriculture, the credit relations is necessary in process of reguilar mainteance and activity of system. The credit relations are represent in relations with suppliers, lizing companies, banks and other participants in legal transfer. In process of establishing the credit relations with agricultural systems the most important factors which influences on quality and conditions of credit relations are: the biological caracter of production and strong influence of naturale factors on results of production, the season caracter of production, slow turnover of capital and different economic justification between some of production lines. Getting the quality credit position is not the act, already it is the process in which the system is making the own picture. If the system is better positioned on the market from the aspect of credit solvency, it can expect better credit relations (the risk of investment in credit capable systems is less). In process of getting the better credit solvency the need is to valuate some of ballast, and the most important are: preserving the current liquidity, preserving the real value of capital and resource and getting the financial counterweight.

description: Much of the population in rural sub-Saharan African relies of firewood or charcoal to prepare food. Population pressure is speeding the rate of deforestation, raising the monetary and opportunity costs of cooking meals. We use a field experiment in Zambia to investigate the impact of solar cook on the money households spend on charcoal and the time allocated to collecting firewood. Additionally, we examine changes in diet that result from the reduction in the cost of meal preparation. Preliminary results indicate that the provisioning of solar cookers is cost effective (household savings on charcoal over a 12 month period exceed the cost of the stove) and increases dietary diversity by reducing the cost of preparing grain legumes.

description: In the local Universe, there are only a few dwarf star-forming galaxies with very low metal abundances, which many believe to have formed most of their stellar mass during the last few hundred Myr. But little is known of more massive Very Young Galaxies (VYGs). In this work, we study a sample of 207 VYGs that have formed at least 50% of their stellar mass within the last 1 Gyr. We find that VYGs tend to have higher surface brightness and to be more compact, dusty, asymmetric and clumpy than control sample galaxies (CSGs). A subsample with HI detections revealed that VYGs are more gas-rich than CSGs. VYGs tend to reside in the inner parts of low-mass groups and are twice as likely to be interacting with a neighbour galaxy than CSGs. On the other hand, VYGs and CSGs have similar gas metallicities and large-scale environments. Our results suggest that gas-rich interactions and mergers are the main mechanisms responsible for the recent triggering of star formation in VYGs at low redshifts.

description: The rotating magnetocaloric effect (RMCE) is a recent interest in magnetic refrigeration technique in which the cooling effect is attained by rotating the anisotropic magnetocaloric material from one orientation to the other in a fixed magnetic field. In this work, we report the anisotropic magnetocaloric properties of single crystals of the ferromagnetic Weyl semimetal Co$_{3}$Sn$_{2}$S$_{2}$ for magnetic field $H\parallel c$ axis and $H\parallel ab$ plane. We observed a significant (factor of $2$) difference between the magnetocaloric effect measured in both orientations. The rotating magnetocaloric effect has been extracted by taking the difference of the magnetic entropy change ($ΔS_{M}$) for fields applied in the two crystallographic orientations. In a scaling analysis of $ΔS_{M}$, the rescaled $ΔS_{M}(T,H)$ vs reduced temperature $θ$ curves collapse onto a single universal curve, indicating that the transition from paramagnetic to ferromagnetic phase at 174~K is a second order transition. Furthermore, using the power law dependence of $ΔS_{M}$ and relative cooling power RCP, the critical exponents $β$ and $γ$ are calculated, which are consistent with the recent critical behavior study on this compound \cite{Yan2018}.

description: This paper describes the results of a choice experiment measuring social benefits for sustainable management practices related to water and resource recovery and reuse solutions in agricultural in Burkina-Faso for ecosystem services preservation. Sustainable management is conceptualized with four illustrative practices that impact water availability, water save, soil restoration, soil fertility improvement and productivity growth: storing water with small water infrastructure in rainy season, complete fresh water with waste water from household, watering crop with drip irrigation and fertilizing with organic matter of sludge from septic tank (human faeces). Data for a choice experiment are collected using a face-to-face survey of farmers practicing off-season production in two region (Dano and Ouagadougou) in Burkina- Faso. Results identify substantial benefits for ecosystem services preservation, the use of small water infrastructure, drip irrigation, waste water and organic matter from human faeces. Results also suggest that the estimated household benefits of all fours sustainable management practices combined are similar in magnitude to the benefits from ecosystem services alone. Based on model results, policy and future research may wish to examine possibilities for subsidizing sustainable management practices in urban-influenced areas as a more cost-effective means of providing benefits similar to those realized through ecosystem services sustainability.

Constraints on the Circumstellar Disk Masses in the IC 348 Cluster

description: A 5.2' x 5.2' region toward the young cluster IC 348 has been imaged in the millimeter continuum at 4.0" x 4.9" resolution with the OVRO interferometer to a RMS noise level of 0.75 mJy/beam at 98 GHz. The data are used to constrain the circumstellar disk masses in a cluster environment at an age of about 2 Myr. The mosaic encompasses 95 known members of the IC 348 cluster with a stellar mass distribution that peaks at 0.2-0.5 Msun. None of the stars are detected in the millimeter continuum at an intensity level of 3 sigma or greater. The mean observed flux for the ensemble of 95 stars is 0.22 +/- 0.08 mJy. Assuming a dust temperature of 20 K, a mass opacity coefficient of kappa_o = 0.02 cm^2/g at 1300 um, and a power law index of beta=1 for the particle emissivity, these observations imply that the 3 sigma upper limit to the disk mass around any individual star is 0.025 Msun, and that the average disk mass is 0.002 +/- 0.001 Msun. The absence of disks with masses in excess of 0.025 Msun in IC 348 is different at the about 3 sigma confidence level from Taurus, where about 14% of the stars in an optically selected sample have such disk masses. Compared with the minimum mass needed to form the planets in our solar system (about 0.01 Msun), the lack of massive disks and the low mean disk mass in IC 348 suggest either that planets more massive than a few Jupiter masses will form infrequently around 0.2-0.5 Msun stars in IC 348, or that the process to form such planets has significantly depleted the disk of small dust grains on time scales less than the cluster age of about 2 Myr.

description: Consumers are increasingly demanding for information on product quality, methods and characteristics of geographical region of production. As such, protecting unique products as geographical indications is on the increase. Geographical indications identify a product as originating from a region where a given quality, reputation or other characteristic desired by consumers, is essentially or exclusively attributable to its geographical origin. Having the legal legislation is necessary but not sufficient factor in protection of products as geographical indications (GI). Other essential factors include the producers’ awareness of the uniqueness and willingness to register the product for protection and marketing. Their perceived benefits and other characteristics will influence their decision to register the product as a GI. The study sought to understand underlying variables describing producers’ perceptions of the quality of coffee in Muranga and mango in Makueni as potential geographical indications. At least 132 producers randomly sampled were interviewed in each county using semi-structured questionnaires. The study applied factor analysis to summarise producers’ perceptions and regressed the resulting factors against a set of explanatory variables to determine factors influencing these perceptions. Six and five underlying variable (factors) were identified for coffee and mango producers’ perceptions respectively. The factors explained at least 75.3% and 71.5% of the variance in the original variables for coffee and mango producers’ perceptions respectively. The regression results with varying Fstatistics showed the importance of conducting specific analysis for each product in each region to identify the potential for protecting the products as GI.

description: In response to the sharp rise in domestic grain prices of 2008, the Ethiopian government introduced a wide range of policy instruments to tame the soaring domestic food prices. It is generally argued that before embarking on any intervention in domestic grain market, better understanding of price formation and possible scenarios of the dynamic grain market environment is crucial for policymakers to make informed decisions. This study aimed at examining the price formation and dynamics in the Ethiopian maize market. Furthermore, this article empirically investigate spatial maize market linkages and test maize price leadership role in order to understand as to whether or not there is a central maize market that dictate and lead price information flow over regional maize markets in Ethiopia.

description: Observational evidence of white dwarf planetary systems is dominated by the remains of exo-asteroids through accreted metals, debris discs, and orbiting planetesimals. However, exo-planets in these systems play crucial roles as perturbing agents, and can themselves be perturbed close to the white dwarf Roche radius. Here, we illustrate a procedure for computing the tidal interaction between a white dwarf and a near-spherical solid planet. This method determines the planet's inward and/or outward drift, and whether the planet will reach the Roche radius and be destroyed. We avoid constant tidal lag formulations and instead employ the self-consistent secular Darwin-Kaula expansions from Boué & Efroimsky (2019), which feature an arbitrary frequency dependence on the quality functions. We adopt wide ranges of dynamic viscosities and spin rates for the planet in order to straddle many possible outcomes, and provide a foundation for the future study of individual systems with known or assumed rheologies. We find that: (i) massive Super-Earths are destroyed more readily than minor planets (such as the ones orbiting WD 1145+017 and SDSS J1228+1040), (ii) low-viscosity planets are destroyed more easily than high-viscosity planets, and (iii) the boundary between survival and destruction is likely to be fractal and chaotic.

description: Agricultural productivity is still lower in Africa. This is largely attributed to the lower than expected adoption of modern agricultural technologies. Existing on studies are marred by univariate analyses on single technologies over a limited scope while assuming that the uniform effects of the explanatory variables across farm households. In this study, we use a large dataset that typically covers a wider geographical and agricultural scope to describe modern technology use in Uganda. Using statistical data reduction approaches, we show distinct classes of farmers based on the package of modern technologies mix used. Overall, we find that improved seeds, pesticides and fertilizer are the most commonly used crop technologies while veterinary drugs are the most commonly used technology for livestock farmers. We also find that the majority of farmers, 61% do not use any modern agricultural technology and thus consider them as non-adopters. On the other hand, we find only 5% of farmers belonging to the intensified diversifiers, adopting most of the commonly available agro technologies across crop and livestock enterprises. Using multinomial regression analysis, show that education of the household head, access to extension messages and affiliation to social groups, but with varying intensities, are the key factors that drive switching from the non-adopter reference class to the other three preferred classes that use modern agricultural technologies to varying levels.

 General distribution. Persian Gulf.
 Habitat. Rocky/cobble intertidal.
 Remarks. Griffin & Tranter (1986: 87) provided a key for 12 species of the genus, using their key the Persian Gulf specimens are similar to Menaethiops fascicularis (Krauss, 1843) described from South Africa and restricted also to that region. As the Krauss (1843) material is not available in Stuttgart Museum, there is no chance to see the type material of M. fascicularis and make comparison with the present specimen from the Persian Gulf. The present specimens have a supraorbital eave which is not produced anteriorly and is smooth, therefore is very closely related to M. fascicularis. Comparing the rostral spines, the two species are completely distinct as described and figured originally by Krauss (1843: pl. 3, fig. 5). Menaethiops fascicularis has short rostral spines which are widely divergent, while the short rostral spines of the present specimens are not widely divergent. The Persian Gulf specimens looks distinct from other congeners and is being described as a new species.

description: We present the results of non-linear pulsation modelling of 20 bump Cepheids in the LMC. By obtaining a optimal fit to the observed V,R MACHO lightcurves we have placed tight constraints on stellar parameters of M, L, Teff and well as quantities of distance modulus and reddening. We describe the mass-luminosity relation for core-He burning for intermediate mass stars. The mass-luminosity relation depends critically on the level of mixing within the stellar interior over the course of the main-sequence lifetime. Our sample is significantly more luminous than predicted by classical stellar evolutionary models that do not incorporate extension to the convective core. Under the paradigm of convective core overshoot our data implies $Λ_c$ of 0.65$\pm0.03l/H_p$. We derive a LMC distance modulus of 18.55$\pm$0.02.

The MUSE view in Deep Fields: IFUs as spectroscopic survey instruments

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021

description: The multiplexing nature of the MUSE instrument has yielded a 1'x1' field of view with 300 pixels on the side; quite large for an integral field spectrograph. Coupled with its enormous sensitivity, this means that MUSE can yield identifiable spectra of approx. 100 galaxies in its FoV in 1 hour observing time without the need for photometric pre-selection. Exploiting the 3D nature of MUSE, we can optimally select galaxies of spectroscopy, hence needing about 1/4th of the time of other slit or fiber spectrograph surveys. Using the MUSE-Wide Survey, a 100 arcmin MUSE view over deep HST fields with 1 hour integration times, I will highlight some of the contributions MUSE can make in galaxy surveys due to its blind nature. As an example, we find an unprecedented density of Lyman Alpha Emitters, allowing us for an unbiased view of their luminosity function, clustering properties and equivalent width distribution.

(Figure 1, 9)
 Plusia monoxyla Dyar 1913: 645. Holotype: female, USNM, Washington [examined]; Type locality: Ollantaytambo, [Peru].
 Diagnosis. Megalographa monoxyla is recognizable by its pattern. The lack of silvery-white shading on the reniform spot, the silver stigma mark noticeably angled toward the costa basally, and the reddishbrown ground color with a bronzy hue are characteristic. The silver stigma is separated into two spots in one of three specimens examined. The hindwing is lighter than those of other Megalographa species except M. bonaerensis. In the male genitalia the clasper extends well beyond the costa of the valve; the clavus is reduced to a small process. The vesica is slightly upcurved, with a prominent dorsal bulge mesially and a slender apical cornutus. The sexes are similar. The female is known only from the holotype which has not been dissected.
 Distribution and Habitat. Megalographa monoxyla is known only from Peru and Bolivia and has a narrow distribution in the Andes. Its simple pattern and central distribution may indicate it has a basal position in the phylogeny of the genus.

description: Research examining the effect of summary shelf nutrition labels on consumers’ behavior in real market settings is scarce. Using a supermarket’s voluntary adoption of NuVal―a 1 to 100 numeric summary shelf label system―as a natural experiment, we estimate a Two-Part Model (TPM) to identify the effect of the NuVal label on consumer purchasing decisions for cold cereal. Our results show that posting the NuVal score not only increases the purchase volume of healthier cold cereal products but also increases households’ likelihood to purchase cold cereal products with higher nutrition scores. Tests for heterogeneous treatment effects reveal that lower-income households experience a large improvement in their food choices when the NuVal scores are posted.

The Vera Bradford Collection: A Digitisation Project

Vera Bradford (1904-2004) was a celebrated Australian pianist, and contributed much to Australian music as a performer, a teacher and a promoter of Australian composers. She won a scholarship to study with Percy Grainger in Chicago, gave the first Australian performance of Gershwin’s Piano Concerto and was the first woman to perform the Brahms D minor Piano Concerto in Australia.
Vera Bradford donated her music collection to the State College of Victoria in 1978, which later became Monash University Library’s Peninsula branch. The collection was named the Vera Bradford Music Collection and contains books on the history of music, scores and sheet music, librettos, and orchestral sets. The collection has continued to grow, with donations from local Peninsula music groups, Defence Force Bands and other materials purchased by the State College of Victoria.

In 2018 Monash University Library commenced reordering and digitising the Vera Bradford Collection, comprising scores donated by the pianist in 1978 as well as donations from individuals and musical groups in the Frankston area to make these items available to the wider research community and general public.
This short talk outlined the digitisation plan and processes involved, touching upon the constraints, the solutions adopted, and the opportunities to make these valuable and unique items more accessible to students and researchers, and thereby contribute to making Vera Bradford better known to the worldwide community.
I coordinated the project since 2017 and it is still ongoing.

description: Megalographa bonaerensis (Berg)
(Figure 5, 11, 16)
 Plusia bonaerensis Berg 1882: 287. Types: Probably Paris [not examined]; Type locality: Province Bonaerensis, [Argentina].
 Autograha solida Ottolengui 1902: 64. Holotype: male, AMNH, New York [examined]; Type locality: Texas, USA. Note: A statement by Ottolengui that the type from Texas is in the collection of the author, together with a statement that another specimen from Mexico is “darker than the type,” are taken to indicate that the specimen from “Texas” should be treated as a holotype. Both the Texan and Mexican records are believed to be mislabeled as to locality.
 Diagnosis. This species is immediately recognizable from the adult wing pattern and bright coloration. The wing apex is darkened, the silver spot in the lower part of the reniform spot is prominent and oval with a dark spot in the basal third. The wing margin is evenly colored and the hindwing is yellowish buff. The sexes are similar.
In the male genitalia the clasper is upcurved, extending slightly beyond the costa of the valve; the clavus is short; the vesica is straight with a slight median swelling and a long, stout apical cornutus. In the female genitalia, the ductus bursae and appendix bursae are both about 0.3X as long as the corpus bursae; there is a short zone of sclerotized, spiculate ridges subbasally in the corpus bursae near its junction with the ductus bursae.
 Distribution and Habitat. Megalographa bonaerensis occurs from southern Brazil and Paraguay southward to northern Argentina and Chile and does not follow the mountains.

description: While most gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are now believed to be from cosmological distances, the origin of very short-time GRBs is still not known. In the past, we have shown that GRBs with time duration (T90) less than 100 ms may form a separate class of GRBs based on the hardness and time distribution of these events. We have also shown that the ln N ln S distribution is consistent with the expectation of quasi-Euclidean distribution of sources. In this paper, we report the study of the angular location of these GRBs showing a strong deviation from isotropy within the Galactic coordinates of plus 180 degrees < longitude < 90 degrees and -30 degrees < latitude < 30 degrees. We have studied the rest of the GRBs and do not find a similar deviation. This further indicates that the very-short GRBs likely form a separate class of GRBs, most probably from sources of Galactic or near solar origin.

description: C$_3$N is a recently discovered 2D layered material structurally similar to graphene, which has demonstrated immense prospect for future nanoelectronics. In this work, we have designed and investigated the operation and performance of a C$_3$N island single electron transistor (SET) for the first time. Using First-principles based calculations, we investigated the effect of various molecular adsorptions on the electronic and conduction behaviour of the SET. C$_3$N was found to be the perfect host material for capturing CO$_2$. The charge stability diagram carries the signature of different molecules within the SET and their presence can be uniquely identified from various line scans and normalised differential conductance behaviour obtained from it. Our results suggests the usefulness of such nanoelectronic structures for sensing toxic gas molecules which can be operational over a wide temperature range with detection sensitivity upto a single molecular level.

description: We study (covariant) scalar-vector-tensor (SVT) perturbations of infinite derivative gravity (IDG), at the quadratic level of the action, around conformally-flat, covariantly constant curvature backgrounds which are not maximally symmetric spacetimes (MSS). This extends a previous analysis of perturbations done around MSS, which were shown to be ghost-free. We motivate our choice of backgrounds which arise as solutions of IDG in the UV, avoiding big bang and black hole singularities. Contrary to MSS, in this paper we show that, generically, all SVT modes are coupled to each other at the quadratic level of the action. We consider simple examples of the full IDG action, and illustrate this mixing and also a case where the action can be diagonalized and ghost-free solutions constructed. Our study is widely applicable for both non-singular cosmology and black hole physics where backgrounds depart from MSS. In appendices, we provide SVT perturbations around conformally-flat and arbitrary backgrounds which can serve as a compendium of useful results when studying SVT perturbations of various higher derivative gravity models.

Observing AGN feedback with CO intensity mapping

description: Current models of galaxy formation require star formation in high-mass galaxies to be limited by poorly understood mechanisms of quasar feedback. Feedback processes can be studied by examining the molecular gas content of AGN hosts through the CO rotational ladder, but the complexity of these observations means that current data are limited to only extremely CO-bright objects. Upcoming CO intensity mapping experiments offer an opportunity for a less biased probe of quasar feedback. By correlating intensity maps with spectroscopic AGN surveys, we can obtain a measurement of the mean CO luminosity of a large population of quasars simultaneously. We show that experiments like COMAP, CCAT-prime, and CONCERTO have enough sensitivity to detect this cross-correlation if existing AGN observations are representative of the whole population, and to place interesting upper limits if they are not. Future surveys will be able to increase the precision of these measurements by orders of magnitude, allowing detailed studies of quasar properties across a wide range of cosmic history.

Stellar Populations and the Mass--Size Plane across 7 Gyr using the LEGA-C and SAMI Surveys

description: We investigate scaling relations between stellar population and galaxy structural parameters over a 6.7 Gyr lookback time. Specifically, we investigate the change in age and metallicity relations from z[0.60, 0.76] using the LEGA-C Survey, to low redshift using the SAMI Survey. We find that, similarly to their low-redshift counterparts, the metallicity of quiescent galaxies at z[0.60, 0.76] correlates with the gravitational potential, in that galaxies with deeper potential wells are metal enriched. This supports the theory that the relation arises due to the gravitational potential regulating the escape velocity required by metal-rich stellar and supernova ejecta to escape the system and avoid being recycled into later stellar generations. Conversely, we find no correlation between age and surface density in LEGA-C, despite there being a relation at z=0. We robustly explain our results as being a consequence of population evolution with redshift in the mass-size plane.

 Persian Gulf. Iran ( Stephensen 1946; present study).
 Iran. Hormozgan Province: Qeshm I. (Tula, Shib-Deraz).
 General distribution. Indo-West Pacific: South Africa, East Africa, Madagascar, Mauritius, Seychelles, Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, southern Oman (Dhofar), Persian Gulf, Strait of Hormoz, Maldives, Japan, Philippines, Indonesia, New Caledonia, Gilbert and Ellice Is., Marshall Islands, French Polynesia.
 Habitat. Rocky bed intertidal.
 Remarks. Stephensen (1946) recorded this species as Cryptodromia canaliculata Stimpson, 1858, based on a single female from the north coast of the Qeshm I. Apel (2001) examined the specimen of Stephensen (1946) and assigned it to C. fallax. A single female was collected during the present study from the south coast of the Qeshm I. in Shib-Deraz. Alcock (1899b; 1901) recorded C. canaliculata from the Persian Gulf without exact locality. Without examining the material it is not clear if the identification of the Alcock’s (1899b; 1901) material is correct or not.
