description: Quantum Monte Carlo belongs to the most accurate simulation techniques for quantum many-particle systems. However, for fermions, these simulations are hampered by the sign problem that prohibits simulations in the regime of strong degeneracy. The situation changed with the development of configuration path integral Monte Carlo (CPIMC) by Schoof \textit{et al.} [T. Schoof \textit{et al.}, Contrib. Plasma Phys. \textbf{51}, 687 (2011)] that allowed for the first \textit{ab initio} simulations for dense quantum plasmas. CPIMC also has a sign problem that occurs when the density is lowered, i.e. in a parameter range that is complementary to traditional QMC formulated in coordinate space. Thus, CPIMC simulations for the warm dense electron gas are limited to small values of the Brueckner parameter -- the ratio of the interparticle distance to the Bohr radius -- $r_s=\bar{r}/a_B \lesssim 1$. In order to reach the regime of stronger coupling (lower density) with CPIMC, here we investigate additional restrictions on the Monte Carlo procedure. In particular, we introduce two different versions of "restricted CPIMC" where certain sign changing Monte Carlo updates are being omitted. Interestingly, one of the methods (RCPIMC) has no sign problem at all, but it is less accurate than RCPIMC+ which neglects only a smaller class of the Monte Carlo steps. Here we report extensive simulations for the ferromagnetic uniform electron gas with which we investigate the properties and accuracy of RCPIMC and RCPIMC+. Further, we establish the parameter range in the density-temperature plane where these simulations are both feasible and accurate. The conclusion is that RCPIMC and RCPIMC+ work best at temperatures in the range of $Θ\sim 0.1\dots 0.5$ allowing to reach density parameters up to $r_s \sim 3\dots 5$, thereby partially filling a gap left open by existing \textit{ab initio} QMC methods.

description: This document attempts to organize and summarize the major developments of the trade and environment literature observed during the last ten years. Both the major theoretical and empirical contributions are presented and discussed. This includes an overview of the different methods economists have used to describe the environmental externalities, and decompose their welfare effects in open economies. Additionally, guided by the literature we review the policy implications in the presence of two distortions: price (tariff) and environmental, when policymakers are benevolent or are more lenient for certain political groups. Finally, a brief review to the critique of traditional economic research is presented.

description: Background: Water deficiency and temperature stress modify cell and organelle membranes, affecting their functions and cell metabolism. In this case, a change in the ratio of unsaturated to saturated fatty acids occurs in the membranes, which leads to a change in the selective permeability of the membranes and the activity of the enzymes associated with them. With the combined action of these factors on the plant organism, synergism in the action of these stressors on the metabolism of plant cells may be observed, or the action of one stressor will reduce the effect of action of another. The exogenous use of signaling molecules or their donors, in particular nitrogen oxide donors, induces plant resistance to stress factors. The aim of the study was to study the fatty acid composition of mitochondrial membranes of etiolated pea seedlings under conditions of insufficient moisture at different temperatures (24o and 17о) and treated with a nitric oxide donor-a tetranitrosyl iron complex with thiosulfate ligands (TNIC-thio). Methods: The functional state of the mitochondria was studied per the level of lipid peroxidation by the spectrofluorimetry, by a fatty acid composition of mitochondrial membranes with the chromatography technique. Results: Insufficient moisture led to the activation of lipid peroxidation, which caused changes in the content of C18 and C20 fatty acids (FA). The content of linolenic acid in the membranes of mitochondria of seedlings under water deficiency (WD) and a temperature of 24 ° decreased by 21.3%, and in the membranes of mitochondria of seedlings grown under the same conditions, but at 17 ° - by 13%.Changes occurred in the content of C20 FA: the content of 20: 2 ω6 and 20: 1 ω 9 decreased almost 2.5 times and 1.5 times, respectively (WD + 24o and WD + 17o). The treatment of pea seeds with 10-6M TNIC-thio prevented lipid peroxidation, prevented changes in the composition of the FA membranes of mitochondria and prevented the inhibition of growth of pea seedlings in conditions of water shortage. Conclusion: It is assumed that a decrease in temperature from 24 ° to 17 ° increases the resistance of pea seedlings to insufficient moisture, which is manifested in less significant changes in the fatty acid composition of mitochondrial membranes i.e. observed changes indicate the presence of cross-adaptation. The antistress activity of the drug is apparently due to the fact that it is a NO donor and is determined by its antioxidant activity.

description: The present paper has studied the formation of acetals in acid catalyzed caramelization processes in ethanol medium, showed an increase in hydrophobic properties of acetalized products, confirmed calculations of lipo-hydro partition coefficient values. It is possible, that the hydrophilic OH-groups are also bonded by the solvent molecules into ethers. Based on the data obtained, it can be concluded that it is possible to hydrophobize caramel compositions when they are synthesized in acidic ethanolic media, which allow to develop technological compositions based on simple carbohydrates in the future.

description: The generalized Chaplygin gas model (GCGM) contains 5 free parameters, here, they are constrained through the type Ia supernovae data, i.e., the ``gold sample'' of 157 supernovae data. Negative and large positive values for $α$ are taken into account. The analysis is made by employing the Bayesian statistics and the prediction for each parameter is obtained by marginalizing on the remained ones. This procedure leads to the following predictions: $α= - 0.75^{+4.04}_{-0.24}$, $H_0=65.00^{+1.77}_{-1.75}$, $Ω_{k0} = - 0.77^{+1.14}_{-5.94}$, $Ω_{m0} = 0.00^{+1.95}_{-0.00}$, $Ω_{c0} = 1.36^{+5.36}_{-0.85}$, $\bar A = 1.000^{+0.000}_{-0.534}$. Through the same analysis the specific case of the ordinary Chaplygin gas model (CGM), for which $α= 1$, is studied. In this case, there are now four free parameters and the predictions for them are: $H_0 = 65.01^{+1.81}_{-1.71}$, $Ω_{k0} = - 2.73^{+1.53}_{-0.97}$, $Ω_{m0} = 0.00^{+1.22}_{-0.00}$, $Ω_{c0} = 1.34^{+0.94}_{-0.70}$, $\bar A = 1.000^{+0.000}_{-0.270}$. To complete the analysis the $Λ$CDM, with its three free parameters, is considered. For all these models, particular cases are considered where one or two parameters are fixed. The age of the Universe, the deceleration parameter and the moment the Universe begins to accelerate are also evaluated. The quartessence scenario, is favoured. A closed (and in some cases a flat) and accelerating Universe is also preferred. The CGM case $α= 1$ is far from been ruled out, and it is even preferred in some particular cases. In most of the cases the $Λ$CDM is disfavoured with respect to GCGM and CGM.

DOES IT MATTER WHO SCOUTS?

description: Scouting is the most widely used integrated pest management (IPM) technique. It has been argued that only independent crop consultants provide unbiased scouting information. In contrast, chemical dealers inflate scouting reports and/or reduce economic thresholds in order to increase pesticide sales while farmers may use excessively low treatment thresholds due to risk aversion and/or overestimation of pest pressure. Since the majority of scouting is done by farmers and chemical dealer employees, it follows that scouting may not be a very effective means of reducing reliance on chemical pesticides. This study applies an implicit demand formulation of the Lichtenberg-Zilberman damage abatement model to data from a survey of Maryland field crop growers to examine differences in pesticide demand between growers using scouts trained and supervised by extension and those using chemical dealer employees or scouting themselves. Our results give partial support to those skeptical of the quality of scouting by farmers themselves and by consultants working for chemical dealers. We found that soybean growers using extension trained scouts had significantly lower pesticide demand than those using chemical dealer employees or scouting themselves. However, we found no significant differences in the pesticide demands for alfalfa, corn, and small grains. Since soybeans in Maryland are substantially more pesticide-intensive than corn, alfalfa, or small grains, these results suggest that it does matter who scouts when there is scope for substantial savings in pesticides.

description: This study was an investigation of profile patterns on WISC-III subtest scores of Canadian gifted children. Profiles of students were compared to core profile types identified by Glutting, McDermott, and Konold (1997) and Konold, Glutting, McDermott, Kush, and Watkins (1999). From the literature reviewed, it was felt that conducting a profile analysis based on empirical research would override some of the criticisms inherent in the practice of profile analysis The sample consisted of 88 children ages 6 through 13 years. Subjects were included who scored at least 120 on the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-III). Sixty of the participants were gathered from Choice School; the remaining 28 were from the Psychoeducational Research and Training Centre at the University of British Columbia. The results of the profile analysis indicated that 34% of the cases were considered to be clinically unique or rare. The profile analysis of the entire sample of Canadian gifted students indicated that a much higher percentage of profiles were considered to be clinically unique or rare when compared to the normative sample. Future research needs to include larger samples of gifted children.

description: Short gamma-ray bursts are thought to result from the mergers of two neutron stars or a neutron star and stellar mass black hole. The final stages of the merger are generally accompanied by the production of one or more tidal "tails" of ejecta, which fall back onto the remnant-disc system at late times. Using the results of a linear stability analysis, we show that if the material comprising these tails is modeled as adiabatic and the effective adiabatic index satisfies $γ\ge 5/3$, then the tails are gravitationally unstable and collapse to form small-scale knots. We analytically estimate the properties of these knots, including their spacing along the tidal tail and the total number produced, and their effect on the mass return rate to the merger remnant. We perform hydrodynamical simulations of the disruption of a polytropic (with the polytropic and adiabatic indices $γ$ equal), $γ=2$ neutron star by a black hole, and find agreement between the predictions of the linear stability analysis and the distribution of knots that collapse out of the instability. The return of these knots to the black hole induces variability in the fallback rate, which can manifest as variability in the lightcurve of the GRB and -- depending on how rapidly the instability operates -- the prompt emission. The late-time variability induced by the return of these knots is also consistent with the extended emission observed in some GRBs.

description: The article presents materials on the dynamics of spruce stands in the zone of coniferous-deciduous forests and in the south taiga zone of the European part of the Russian Federation, on the territory of the Udmurt Republic. In the process of the research, the information from the state forest register for the Udmurt Republic from 2009 to 2015was analyzed. In order to assess the state of spruce forests, trial areas were laid in various forestry zones. It is shown that the largest reduction in the area of spruce stands is observed in the southern part of the Republic, in comparison with the Northern part, which is located in a different landscape zone. According to the data of the enumerationestimation, a high content of dry wood was noted, that exceeds the volume of raw-growing forest. As a result of research on trial areas, spruce individuals that have a good life condition along with dead trees were identified, which indicates the individual characteristics of the surviving plants. Thus, in the zone of active distribution of xylophages the surviving individuals have an increased content of tannins in the wood.

description: Host-parasite relationships can lead to coevolutionary dynamics broadly affecting trait evolution and diversification. The nature of these dynamics in parasitic mistletoes is not well understood. Here, I investigate evolutionary processes in the genus Arceuthobium (parasitic dwarf mistletoe) and their conifer hosts. Arceuthobium is an economically and ecologically important agricultural pest. They increase forest structures by changing the host trees' growth form and providing wildlife shelter. Species of Arceuthobium section campylopoda are difficult to distinguish because putative taxa overlap morphologically and phenotypically and may have complex host specificity. This study aims to identify the genus systematics through a phylogenetic species concept. I further analyze whether Arceuthobium host races are potentially characterized by host specialization and geography. I used RAD sequencing to characterize single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) data from Arceuthobium taxa, sampled across their ranges in North America and Mexico from different hosts. A PCA, structure plot, phylogeny, and isolation by distance analysis were used to examine gene flow patterns and population differentiation to connect observations with species circumscription and diversification concepts. This study found no evidence of host specialization or the species' geography affecting the genetic makeup of Arceuthobium taxa. This study highlights that all the previously debated taxa within Arceuthobium section campylopodabesides Arceuthobium blumeri are genetically similar enough to be deemed the same species under the phylogenetic species concept. Unexpectedly, Arceuthobium americanum, a non-debated species, was found nested withinArceuthobium section campylopoda.

description: The determinants of the velocity of money have been examined based on life-cycle hypothesis. The velocity of money can be expressed by reciprocal of the average value of holding time which is defined as interval between participating exchanges for one unit of money. This expression indicates that the velocity is governed by behavior patterns of economic agents and open a way to constructing micro-foundation of it. It is found that time pattern of income and expense for a representative individual can be obtained from a simple version of life-cycle model, and average holding time of money resulted from the individual's optimal choice depends on the expected length of relevant planning periods.

description: We present a novel method for calculating the fundamental gap. To this end, reduced-density-matrix-functional theory is generalized to fractional particle number. For each fixed particle number, $M$, the total energy is minimized with respect to the natural orbitals and their occupation numbers. This leads to a function, $E_{\mathrm{tot}}^M$, whose derivative with respect to the particle number has a discontinuity identical to the gap. In contrast to density functional theory, the energy minimum is generally not a stationary point of the total-energy functional. Numerical results, presented for alkali atoms, the LiH molecule, the periodic one-dimensional LiH chain, and solid Ne, are in excellent agreement with CI calculations and/or experimental data.

description: The 3-D Z(3) Potts model is a model for finite temperature QCD with heavy quarks. The chemical potential in QCD becomes an external magnetic field in the Potts model. Following Alford et al.\cite{Alford_et_al}, we revisit this mapping, and determine the phase diagram for an arbitrary chemical potential, real or imaginary. Analytic continuation of the phase transition line between real and imaginary chemical potential can be tested with precision. Our results show that the chemical potential weakens the heavy-quark deconfinement transition in QCD.

description: Semi-supervised learning improves the performance of supervised machine learning by leveraging methods from unsupervised learning to extract information not explicitly available in the labels. Through the design of a system that enables a robot to learn inspection strategies from a human operator, we present a hybrid semi-supervised system capable of learning interpretable and verifiable models from demonstrations. The system induces a controller program by learning from immersive demonstrations using sequential importance sampling. These visual servo controllers are parametrised by proportional gains and are visually verifiable through observation of the position of the robot in the environment. Clustering and effective particle size filtering allows the system to discover goals in the state space. These goals are used to label the original demonstration for end-to-end learning of behavioural models. The behavioural models are used for autonomous model predictive control and scrutinised for explanations. We implement causal sensitivity analysis to identify salient objects and generate counterfactual conditional explanations. These features enable decision making interpretation and post hoc discovery of the causes of a failure. The proposed system expands on previous approaches to program synthesis by incorporating repellers in the attribution prior of the sampling process. We successfully learn the hybrid system from an inspection scenario where an unmanned ground vehicle has to inspect, in a specific order, different areas of the environment. The system induces an interpretable computer program of the demonstration that can be synthesised to produce novel inspection behaviours. Importantly, the robot successfully runs the synthesised program on an unseen configuration of the environment while presenting explanations of its autonomous behaviour.

description: For the first time, the causative agent of late blight Phytophthora megasperma Drech. in Kazakhstan found on soybean crops in 2015. It is a quarantine disease. The article provides data on the spread of the disease, describes the symptoms of late blight soy. The frequency of the development of the disease depending on weather conditions has been established, the parasitic kind of the pathogen in Kazakhstan has been identified and biological features have been studied. The source of infection of the disease are plant debris, soil and seeds. All biotic and abiotic factors that weaken plants predispose them to infection. For sowing, only healthy seed material should be used, since the causative agent of late blight hibernates in infected seeds. Timely implementation of agricultural practices during the growing season contributes to the good development of plants, thereby increasing their resistance to the disease. Reduced degree of late blight also with a rarer plant standing. So, in the experiments, when sowing of rows between rows of 60 cm of soybean lesions by late blight was performed, it decreased by 7.7%. Chemical measures for the control of late blight have been developed. Studies on the use of contact and systemic fungicides against late blight soy show that all using drugs inhibit the development of late blight. The most effective fungicides were ridomil and metalaxyl, where their biological effectiveness was 30.7-47.3%. The zoned and promising varieties and hybrids of local and foreign soybean breeding are evaluated for disease resistance. Varieties and hybrids immune to the disease have not been identified. Resistant to late blight French varieties Dicabit.

By varying the Gauss-Bonnet coupling constant we delimit the domain of existence of wormholes in these theories. The presence of the self-interaction enlarges the domain of existence significantly. There arise wormholes with a single throat and wormholes with an equator and a double throat. We determine the physical properties of these wormholes including their mass, their size and their geometry.

description: Both electromagnetic shock-waves and gravitational waves propagate with the speed of light. If they carry significant energy-momentum, this will change the properties of the space-time they propagate through. This can be described in terms of the junction conditions between space-time regions separated by a singular, null hypersurface. We derived generic junction conditions for Brans-Dicke theory in the Jordan frame, exploring a formalism based on a transverse vector, rather than normal, which can be applied to any type of hypersurfaces. In the particular case of a non-null hypersurface we obtain a generalised Lanczos equation, in which the jump of the extrinsic curvature is sourced by both the distributional energy-momentum tensor and by the jump in the transverse derivative of the scalar. In the case of null hypersurfaces, the distributional source is decomposed into surface density, current and pressure. The latter however ought to vanish by virtue of the scalar junction condition.

description: We propose an end-to-end deep neural network (DNN) which can simultaneously segment the left atrial (LA) cavity and quantify LA scars. The framework incorporates the continuous spatial information of the target by introducing a spatially encoded (SE) loss based on the distance transform map. Compared to conventional binary label based loss, the proposed SE loss can reduce noisy patches in the resulting segmentation, which is commonly seen for deep learning-based methods. To fully utilize the inherent spatial relationship between LA and LA scars, we further propose a shape attention (SA) mechanism through an explicit surface projection to build an end-to-end-trainable model. Specifically, the SA scheme is embedded into a two-task network to perform the joint LA segmentation and scar quantification. Moreover, the proposed method can alleviate the severe class-imbalance problem when detecting small and discrete targets like scars. We evaluated the proposed framework on 60 LGE MRI data from the MICCAI2018 LA challenge. For LA segmentation, the proposed method reduced the mean Hausdorff distance from 36.4 mm to 20.0 mm compared to the 3D basic U-Net using the binary cross-entropy loss. For scar quantification, the method was compared with the results or algorithms reported in the literature and demonstrated better performance.

description: Herbal antiseptics with phytoncidal action, for example, plant essential oils, can be used indoors in the presence of people. The antifungal activity of essential oils of medicinal plants (anis, basil, clary cage, clove, coriander, jasmine, juniper, lavender, lemon, orchid, rose, rosemary, tea tree, wormwood, ylang ylang) was evaluated by the degree of growth inhibition of mold colonies Alternaria alternata , Aspergillus oryzae, Aspergillus flavus, and Cladosporium cladosporioides. Colonies incubated in Petri dishes with a drop of essential oil on the lid under control – petrolatum. All essential oils in the experiment had phytoncidal properties. The oils were divided into groups: 1 – with fungicidal action (coriander, jasmine, orchid, rose); 2 – with high fungistatic activity to all strains (lavender, basil, tea tree oil); 3 – with fungistatic properties against individual strains (C. cladosporioides – rosemary and anise, A. alternata and A. flavus – lemon, A. oryzae – wormwood); 4 – with a stimulating effect of the growth of colonies A. oryzae – lemon oil.

description: In the present study, the zero- and first-order radiative correction to the Casimir energy for the massive and massless scalar field confined with mixed (Neumann-Dirichlet) boundary condition between two parallel lines in 2+1 dimensions for the self-interacting $ϕ^4$ theory was computed. The main point in this study is the use of a special program to renormalize the bare parameters of the Lagrangian. The counterterm used in the renormalization program, which was obtained systematically position-dependent, is consistent with the boundary condition imposed on the quantum field. To regularize and remove infinities in the calculation process of the Casimir energy, the Box Subtraction Scheme as a regularization technique was used. In this scheme, two similar configurations are usually introduced, and the vacuum energies of these two configurations in proper limits are subtracted from each other. The final answer for the problem is finite and consistent with the expected physical basis. We also compared the new result of this paper to the previously reported results in the zero- and first-order radiative correction to the Casimir energy of scalar field in two spatial dimensions with Periodic, Dirichlet, and Neumann boundary conditions. Finally, all aspects of this comparison were discussed.

CLIMATE CHANGE AND ITS IMPACT ON CROP YIELDS IN SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA: NEW EVIDENCES FROM MODERN STUDIES
Creators: name: Tsatsenko, Natalia
Publisher: name: JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURE AND ENVIRONMENT
Year: 2020

description: Agriculture is the most vulnerable economic sector to climate change. The sustainable crop production is under the question due to climate change. There is uncertainty regarding climate change projections in the near future. There is also uncertainty concerning crop yields to these changes. Particularly, Sub-Saharan Africa is strongly dependent on the adverse climate changes. It is expected to increase food insecurity in this region in response to climate variability. This paper examines the impact of climate change on the crop yields based on recent studies. Moreover, the paper focuses on staple crops such as maize, millet, groundnuts, cassava and sorghum in Sub-Saharan Africa.

description: Agricultural economists have recently been attracted to procedures suggested by Granger and others which allow observed data to reveal causal relationships. Results of this study indicate that "causality" tests can be ambiguous in identifying behavioral relationships between agricultural price variables. Caution is suggested when using such procedures for model choice.

description: In this paper a recent variable anticipation cellular automata model for single-lane traffic flow is extended to analyze the situation of free and congested flow in the Highway from Mexico City to Cuernavaca. This highway presents free flow in standard days; but in the returning day of long weekends or holidays it exhibits congested flow and in rush hours jamming appears. We illustrate how our CA model for traffic flow can deal appropriately with transient situations and can be used to search new alternatives that allow to improve the traffic flow in Mexican highways.

description: In the scope of the Physics Beyond Colliders studies, the Gamma-Factory initiative proposes the use of partially stripped ions as a driver of a new type of high-intensity photon source in CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). In 2018, the LHC accelerated and stored partially stripped $^{208}\text{Pb}^{81+}$ ions for the first time. The collimation system efficiency recorded during this test was found to be prohibitively low, so that only a very low-intensity beam could be stored without the risk of triggering a beam dump when regular, minor beam losses occur. The worst losses were localised in the dispersion suppressor of the betatron-cleaning insertion. This article presents an analysis to understand in detail the source of these losses. Based on this understanding, possible mitigation measures that could significantly improve the cleaning efficiency and enable regular operation with partially-stripped ions in the future are developed.

description: In this paper, some physical and mechanical properties of the surface layer of widely used steel 65G in mechanical engineering and agriculture, subjected to plasma treatment. The research is aimed at increasing the service life of parts and friction units of machinery and equipment. It is shown that vibroplasma surface treatment with the use of metal-ceramic powders allows to increase the hardness of the surface layer by more than 3 times. The elemental composition and microstructure of the sample surface were studied. The microstructure of the base material of the coated samples corresponds to the structure of the reference sample. The microstructure of the reference sample corresponds to the microstructure of low-carbon (pre-eutectoid) steel after annealing. Grained ferrite-pearlite structure with a predominance of ferrite. In the process of vibro plasma treatment in the surface layer of the sample is formed of 3 zones: the zone of deposited metal-ceramic material, a hardened area of the surface layer mixed with elements of the base and filler material and heat affected zone.
