description: This study evaluates Extension forecasting accuracy in an analysis of responses to the Annual Outlook Survey conducted by the American Agricultural Economics Association from 1983 through 1995. Representative and composite production and price forecasts for several commodities are examined. Extension forecasts are compared with USDA, naive, and futures-based forecasts. Relationships between forecast/forecaster features and accuracy are examined in a regression framework. Composite forecasts are more accurate than representative forecasts. Generally, Extension forecasts are less accurate than USDA forecasts for crops, but more accurate for beef production and price. Forecasters who rely more heavily on formal econometric models are slightly more accurate than those who do not.

description: This study examines the level of base payments required to make feeder pig finishing and producing contracts comparable to independent production performance. Stochastic dominance with respect to a function is used in the comparisons between contract and independent production. Required payments for risk averse feeder pig finishers and producers with average production efficiency are similar to those currently offered by contractors. Producers with above average production efficiency or who were risk neutral require payments well above current contract rates, before they would prefer contracting.

description: A series of readily accessible 1-(piperidin-3-yl)thymine amides was designed, synthesised and evaluated as Mycobacterium tuberculosis TMPK (MtbTMPK) inhibitors. In line with the modelling results, most inhibitors showed reasonable MtbTMPK inhibitory activity. Compounds 4b and 4i were slightly more potent than the parent compound 3. Moreover, contrary to the latter, amide analogue 4g was active against the avirulent M. tuberculosis H37Ra strain (MIC50=35 µM). This finding opens avenues for future modifications.

description: High-quality single crystals of NaYbSe$_2$, which resembles a perfect triangular-lattice antiferromagnet without the intrinsic disorder, are investigated by magnetization and specific heat, as well as the local probe techniques nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and electron spin resonance (ESR). The low-field measurements confirm the absence of any spin freezing or long-range magnetic order down to 50~mK, which suggests a quantum spin liquid ground (QSL) state with gapless excitations. The instability of the QSL state is observed upon applying magnetic fields. For the $H\bot c$ direction, a field-induced magnetic phase transition is observed above 2~T from the $C_{\rm p}(T)$ data, agreeing with a clear $\frac{M_s}{3}$ plateau of $M(H)$, which is associated with an up-up-down (uud) spin arrangement. For the $H\|c$ direction, a field-induced transition could be evidenced at a much higher field range (9 - 21~T). The $^{23}$Na NMR measurements provide microscopic evidence for field-induced ordering for both directions. A reentrant behavior of $T_{\rm N}$, originating from the thermal and quantum spin fluctuations, is observed for both directions. The anisotropic exchange interactions $J_{\perp}\simeq$ 4.7~K and $J_z\simeq$2.33~K are extracted from the modified bond-dependent XXZ model for the spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ triangular-lattice antiferromagnet. The absence of magnetic long-range order at zero fields is assigned to the effect of strong bond-frustration, arising from the complex spin-orbit entangled $4f$ ground state. Finally, we derive the highly anisotropic magnetic phase diagram, which is discussed in comparison with the existing theoretical models for spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ triangular-lattice antiferromagnets.

description: Although underlying mechanisms of long-term exposure to air pollution and cardiovascular disease remain obscure, effects might partially act through changes in DNA methylation. We examined the associations between long-term ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and methylation, considering both a global measure and methylation at several specific inflammation-related loci, in two random sub-cohorts selected from a nationwide prospective study of US women. In one sub-cohort we measured long interspersed nucleotide element (LINE-1); in the other, we measured methylation at three candidates CpG loci related to inflammatory pathways [tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and toll-like receptor-2 (TLR-2)]. Annual average contemporaneous ambient PM2.5 concentrations were estimated for the current residence. We used both classical least-squares and quantile regression models to estimate the long-term effects. The women in sub-cohorts 1 (n = 491) and 2 (n = 882) had mean ages of 55.8 and 56.7, respectively. Neither modelling approach showed an association between long-term PM2.5 and LINE-1 methylation or between PM2.5 and either of the two CpG sites in TLR-2. Using linear regression, there was an estimated change of −6.5% (95% confidence interval CI: −13.34%, 0.35%) in mean methylation of TNF-α per 5 µg/m3 increase in PM2.5. Quantile regression showed that the downward shift was mainly in the lower half of the distribution of DNA methylation. Long-term residence in regions with higher ambient PM2.5 may be associated with increased TNF-α through a reduction in methylation, particularly in the lower tail. Epigenetic markers and quantile regression might provide insight into mechanisms underlying the relationship between air pollution and cardiovascular disease.

description: Designing broadband metamaterial perfect absorbers is challenging due to the intrinsically narrow bandwidth of surface plasmon resonances. Here, the paper reports an ultra-broadband metamaterial absorber by using space filling Gosper curve. The optimized result shows an average absorptivity of 95.78% from 2.64 to 9.79 μm across the entire mid-infrared region. Meanwhile, the absorber shows insensitivity to the polarization angle and the incident angle of the incident light. The underlying physical principles, used in our broadband absorber, involve a fractal geometry with multiple scales and a dissipative plasmonic crystal. The broadband perfect absorption can be attributed to multiple electric resonances at different wavelengths supported by a few segments in the defined Gosper curve.

description: This study showed from the analysis of 180 droppings of the Grey Wagtail Motacilla cinerea harvested during a period of one year from the Babors Mountains (Bejaia, Algeria) that insects formed the main part of the diet (85.9% of identified items). The other food categories included arachnids, crustaceans and gastropods. Among the insects, Coleoptera (beetles) was the main order consisting of 37.4% of identified items. The most frequently recorded family was Baetidae (Ephemeroptera; 9.8%). At the prey-taxa level, an unidentified Baetidae was the most frequently encountered and represented 9.7% of the diet. This species was present in the diet throughout the year. Prey taxa classified as aquatic were more frequently encountered (54.2%) compared with those considered terrestrial. This study showed that seasonal fluctuations in the diet of Grey Wagtail were very weak. Prey size ranged from 0.2 to 30.5 mm, with an average of 8.9 mm. Overall, this study showed that Grey wagtail fed on species of a wide variety of taxa, with little variation across the year.

description: We analyze the speed of mean reversion (k) in the convenience yield and the spot price volatility for 7 US commodities between 1989-2012. In the hog market k is large, soybeans exhibit the lowest values. While for 5 of 7 commodities κ is lower in the more recent period (2005-2012) than in the pre energy period, soybeans and copper show the opposite behavior. A decreasing speed of k implies that the growth rate of the futures prices rises and thus the gap between the nearest and the farthest maturities increases. The estimated spot price volatilities increased for agricultural commodities.

description: Food commodity prices have recently increased sharply and become more volatile, highlighting greater uncertainty in markets and serious implications for food security among the poor globally. High fuel prices combined with legislative policies have increased biofuel production causing high food prices and establishing a link between fuel and agricultural prices. This research analyses the role of biofuel, agricultural and energy policies in affecting the relationships between agricultural and energy commodity prices over the last decade. The presence and the nature of structural breaks are empirically. This research finds that structural changes in the prices and price relationships are policy-driven.

description: Russia emerged as an important wheat exporter in recent years raising the question how this will affect international wheat markets. In particular developing countries – the main destination of Russian wheat exports – could be harmed by an aggressive pricing behavior. This paper analyses the exertion of market power by Russian wheat exporting firms based on Krugman’s pricing-to-market (PTM) hypothesis. Adopting Knetter’s panel model, we find Russian PTM behavior in 37 out of 59 destination countries over the period 1998-2011.

description: Graduate students regularly teach undergraduate STEM courses and can positively impact students’ understanding of science. Yet little research examines graduate students’ knowledge about nature of science (NOS) or instructional strategies for teaching graduate students about NOS. This exploratory study sought to understand how a 1-credit Teaching in Higher Education course that utilised an explicit, reflective, and mixed-context approach to NOS instruction impacted STEM graduate students’ NOS conceptions and teaching intentions. Participants included 13 graduate students. Data sources included the Views of Nature of Science (VNOS-Form C) questionnaire administered pre- and post-instruction, semi-structured interviews with a subset of participants, and a NOS-related course project. Prior to instruction participants held many alternative NOS conceptions. Post-instruction, participants’ NOS conceptions improved substantially, particularly in their understandings of theories and laws and the tentative nature of scientific knowledge. All 12 participants planning to teach NOS intended to use explicit instructional approaches. A majority of participants also integrated novel ideas to their intended NOS instruction. These results suggest that a teaching methods course for graduate students with embedded NOS instruction can address alternative NOS conceptions and facilitate intended use of effective NOS instruction. Future research understanding graduate students' NOS understandings and actual NOS instruction is warranted.
INTRODUCTION OF INFINITE AND THALAS NUMBERS_OLD
Creators: name: Thalassinakis, Emmanuel
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: In this study, a set of new numbers, infinite - thalas numbers, is introduced. Infinite numbers are defined as limits of complex functions that tend to infinity. In infinity, two arguments are added; the velocity at which a complex function tends to infinity and its angle on the complex plane. This way a quantification of infinity is obtained and new numbers, the infinite numbers are determined. Firstly, the infinity unit is defined which is the limit of a function tending to infinity with i) a velocity equal to the real unit and ii) a zero angle on the complex plane. Based on the infinity unit definition, all infinite numbers are also defined. The logarithm of the infinity unit is obtained which is called loginfinity unit, and furthermore the log-infinite numbers are also determined. Considering an ortho-normal axle system, with units on the three vertical axes, respectively, the real unit, the imaginary unit (i), and the log-infinity unit, a broader set of new numbers in the three-dimensional space is introduced, named thalas numbers. These new numbers are proved to be useful with interesting properties.
Landmark Map: An Extension of the Self-Organizing Map for a User-Intended Nonlinear Projection

description: The self-organizing map (SOM) is an unsupervised artificial neural network that is widely used in, e.g., data mining and visualization. Supervised and semi-supervised learning methods have been proposed for the SOM. However, their teacher labels do not describe the relationship between the data and the location of nodes. This study proposes a landmark map (LAMA), which is an extension of the SOM that utilizes several landmarks, e.g., pairs of nodes and data points. LAMA is designed to obtain a user-intended nonlinear projection to achieve, e.g., the landmark-oriented data visualization. To reveal the learning properties of LAMA, the Zoo dataset from the UCI Machine Learning Repository and an artificial formant dataset were analyzed. The analysis results of the Zoo dataset indicated that LAMA could provide a new data view such as the landmark-centered data visualization. Furthermore, the artificial formant data analysis revealed that LAMA successfully provided the intended nonlinear projection associating articular movement with vertical and horizontal movement of a computer cursor. Potential applications of LAMA include data mining, recommendation systems, and human-computer interaction.

description: Plants are protected from the elements by a complex hierarchical epicuticular wax layer which has inspired the creation of super-hydrophobic and self-cleaning surfaces. Although many studies have been conducted on different plant wax systems to determine the mechanisms of water repulsion hardly any have studied the recovery of the epicuticular wax layer. In the current study the wetting properties and crystallographic nature of the wax surface of Brassica oleracea var. Italica (broccoli) has been studied, as well as the time-dependent recovery of the surface after mechanical damage. It was found that the surface of the broccoli leaves is not only super-repulsive and self-cleaning in regards to water but also in regards to glycerol and formamide both of which have considerably lower surface tension values. Furthermore, it was shown that the surface properties do indeed recover after damage and that this recovery is multi-steped and strongly dependent on the recovery of the roughness of the surface

description: Oleic and linoleic acids are common fatty acids in commodity vegetable oils. Their modification into sulfur-containing molecules can be a route for producing biobased lubricants. We investigated modification of methyl oleate and methyl linoleate with thioacetic acid using UV-initiated thio-ene reaction to obtain methyl (acetylthio)stearates and methyl bis(acetylthio)stearates, respectively. Small amounts of acetyldithio derivatives were also detected. The products were characterized by Electron Impact Mass Spectrometry, High Resolution Mass Spectrometry, and 1- and 2-D NMR. The MS confirmed the anticipated molecular formulas. The fragmentation patterns can be explained with predominant breakage of carbon–sulfur bonds. The isomers of methyl bis(acetylthio)stearates were partially separated by chromatography, and some characteristic NMR peaks were identified and compared with the ones predicted by software. NMR showed distinct patterns of the quasi-meso- and quasi-rac- forms of the isomers. Most often thioacetates are used as protecting groups or intermediary of thiol groups.

description: Em 18 de Março de 2008, o Senhor Padre Sezinando Alberto solicitou-nos a elaboração de parecer jurídico a respeito do enquadramento jurídico-fiscal das receitas provenientes dos bilhetes cobrados no ingresso no Santuário do Cristo-Rei através do uso do respectivo ascensor. Nessa mesma missiva, o Sr. Padre Sezinando Alberto, Reitor daquele mesmo Santuário, teve ocasião de exprimir a opinião de que essas receitas não estariam sujeitas à incidência do imposto sobre o valor acrescentado, atento o facto de nelas prevalecer uma fi nalidade religiosa essencial, ainda que o uso do ascensor igualmente pudesse ser feito com uma finalidade não religiosa, como a turística ou qualquer outra extra-religiosa. O Reitor do Santuário do Cristo-Rei juntou ainda um estudo de uma empresa de consultoria, a BDO, com uma apreciação jurídico-fiscal acerca da questão enunciada.

description: The phase diagram of isospin-symmetric chemically equilibrated mixture of alpha particles and nucleons is studied in the mean-field approximation. Skyrme-like parametrization is used for the mean-field potentials as functions of partial densities of nucleons and alphas. We find that there is a threshold value a* of the parameter a(N-alpha) which describes the attractive interaction between alpha-particles and nucleons. At a(N-alpha)a* the nuclear ground state includes also a nonzero fraction of alphas. We demonstrate that the equation of state of such alpha-N system includes both the first-order liquid-gas phase transitions and the Bose-Einstein condensation of alpha particles.

description: This research looks into the issue of recreational reading effects on teaching from the perspectives of pre-service teachers. It answers the question whether pre-service teachers believe recreational reading habits and behaviors affect their teaching? To answer the question, the study utilized a quantitative methodology, using a survey instrument. The participants of the study were graduate and undergraduates (seniors and juniors) students who were pursuing a teaching degree/license in both secondary and middle school education programs at a school of education in a large Midwestern university in the U.S.A. The participants were of different gender and ethnic backgrounds. It is in the findings of this study that there is a strong relationship between recreational reading and teaching improvement, teaching career, and relating to students. Pre-service teachers believe that recreational reading leaves positive effects on teaching and it can be a good source for teaching improvement. The study presents its significance towards teachers of K-12 education to see through the outstanding role recreational reading may have on their teaching practices on a daily basis.

description: Below its Néel temperature, the frustrated magnet CdCr$_2$O$_4$ exhibits an antiferromagnetic spin-spiral ground state. Such states can give rise to a sizable magnetoelectric coupling. In this report, we measure the electric polarization induced in single-crystalline CdCr$_2$O$_4$ by a large applied magnetic field. Because the detection of a macroscopic polarization is hindered by the structural domains in the tetragonal spin-spiral phase, we have pioneered an alternative method of measuring polarization induced by high magnetic fields, using electrostatic force microscopy. This method enables us to measure polarization from nanometer sized areas of the sample surface, as well as imaging how to charge inhomogeneities change with magnetic field.

Escape of α-particle in inertial confinement fusion

description: Escape of $α$-particles from a burning or an ignited burning deuterium-tritium (DT) fuel with temperature up to more than tens keV is very important in inertial confinement fusion, which can significantly influence not only the hot spot dynamics and the energy gain but also the shielding design in fusion devices. In this paper, we study the $α$-particle escape from a burning or an ignited burning DT fuel by considering the modifications including the $α$-particle stopping by both DT ions and electrons with their Maxwellian average stopping weights, the relativity effect on electron distribution, and the modified Coulomb logarithm of the DT-$α$ particle collisions. As a result of our studies, the escape-effect from our modified model is obviously stronger than those from the traditional models. A fitted expression is presented to calculate the escape factor in a DT fuel, which can be applied to a burning fuel with temperatures of 1 to 150 keV and areal densities of 0.04 to 3 g/cm$^2$ with an accuracy within $\pm0.02$. Finally, we discuss the $α$-particle escape-effect on the hot-spot dynamics and the thermonuclear energy gain by comparing the results with escape factors from different models.
Changing the political climate: the role of imagery, narrative and political theatre in the work of the Australian climate movement

description: Stories, images and the ‘theatre’ of political action are central to the ways in which we understand climate change. Drawing on interviews with Australian climate campaigners, this research investigates how they figure in the work of the Australian climate movement and how ‘symbolic politics’ matters for achieving political change. This thesis argues that ‘symbolic politics’ (1) shapes the place of climate change in ‘the public imagination’, and (2) generates momentum and energy for the climate movement. Symbolic politics thereby influences the ‘climate of opinion’ and the overall ‘political climate’, creating conditions that are often essential for achieving political change.
Synthetic Extreme-ultraviolet Emissions Modulated by Leaky Fast Sausage Modes in Solar Active Region Loops

description: We study the extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) emissions modulated by leaky fast sausage modes (FSMs) in solar active region loops and examine their observational signatures via spectrometers like EIS. After computing fluid variables of leaky FSMs with MHD simulations, we forward-model the intensity and spectral properties of the Fe X 185~Å~and Fe XII 195~Å~lines by incorporating non-equilibrium ionization (NEI) in the computations of the relevant ionic fractions. The damping times derived from the intensity variations are then compared with the wave values, namely the damping times directly found from our MHD simulations. Our results show that in the equilibrium ionization cases, the density variations and the intensity variations can be either in phase or in anti-phase, depending on the loop temperature. NEI considerably impacts the intensity variations but has only marginal effects on the derived Doppler velocity or Doppler width. We find that the damping time derived from the intensity can largely reflect the wave damping time if the loop temperature is not drastically different from the nominal formation temperature of the corresponding emission line. These results are helpful for understanding the modulations to the EUV emissions by leaky FSMs and hence helpful for identifying FSMs in solar active region loops.

It is known that when working in space in a spacesuit, a person releases a lot of energy, about 1 kW (80% of which is spent on overcoming the resistance of the shell). This work turns into warmth inside the suit and is an unfavorable factor. Today there are two methods of heat removal - a water cooling suit (KVO) and gas ventilation. Each system uses two brushless centrifugal pumps. The heat exchanger in the system with water (KVO) operates according to a bypass scheme and is mechanically controlled by a knob on the operator's panel. In case of uncomfortable sensations, a person in space regulates heat output by himself. Such a system is used by all ASOZs of cosmonauts, astronauts and taikonauts. The purpose of this work is to propose an alternative control system for pumps pumping water, which will be used as the main one for regular extravehicular activities and in case of failure, its old system will start working. The use of the new system allows a person not to be distracted from work and always feel comfortable, thereby increasing his labor productivity and the power supply unit can work longer than what is used today. The paper describes a schematic diagram of this system, which consists of two sensors. The first sensor measures the thermal conductivity of the skin by irregular heating, the second - the temperature in the suit. One of the possible electrical circuits is given and elements for its implementation are selected. The method of calibrating the system for a specific person is described and data on which the conditions of comfort are determined are given. Electrical safety is ensured by low currents. Comparison of energy consumption with and without this modification is given for the average of all values. The technique of superposition and measurement of the first sensor is described. The application of this system is possible, since it takes up little space and is quite easily integrated into the LSI. Drawings are made in OrCAD and Compass (3D) systems, which can be easily modified and made calculations and measurements. For a better understanding of the issue of thermoregulation of human skin, a mathematical model is given and described.
