description: A three period overlapping generations model is developed to investigate the impact of shorter life expectancy due to disease, on human capital investment decisions and income growth. This research is particularly relevant to Sub-Saharan Africa given the dramatic reduction in life expectancy due to HIV/AIDS and the potential lasting effects on growth. Our results indicate that as life expectancy shortens so does schooling inducing a lower growth rate of income. These relationships are even more pronounced for the African continent than for the rest of the world.

description: We explore two possible ways to enhance the critical temperature $T_c$ in the dilute magnetic semiconductor Mn$_{0.08}$Ga$_{0.92}$As. Within the context of the double-exchange and RKKY pictures, the ternary alloys Mn$_{x}$Cr$_{0.08-x}$Ga$_{0.92}$As and Mn$_{0.08}$Ga$_{0.92}$As$_y$P$_{1-y}$ might be expected to have $T_c$ higher than the pseudobinary Mn$_{0.08}$Ga$_{0.92}$As. To test whether the expectations from model pictures are confirmed, we employ linear response theory within the local-density approximation to search for theoretically higher critical temperatures in these ternary alloys. Our results show that neither co-doping Mn with Cr, nor alloying As with P improves $T_c$. Alloying with Cr is found to be deleterious to the $T_c$. Mn$_{0.08}$Ga$_{0.92}$As$_y$P$_{1-y}$ shows almost linear dependence of $T_c$ on $y$.

description: The likelihood of adopting corn rootworm (CRW) Bt seed technology was analyzed using an ordered logit model. Data used to estimate the model came from USDA's 2001 Agricultural Resource Management Survey. Statistically significant variables include operator age, farm type, farm size, rootworm loss and current treatment for rootworm, off farm labor, and Bt technology for corn borer. The likelihood of adoption was not related to crop rotation, tillage system, new variant CRW region, or education.

description: We consider the mass-imbalanced sensibility for the emergence of vortex patterns in the Bose-Einstein condensed binary mixture of rubidium-cesium ($^{85}$Rb-$^{133}$Cs), confined in quasi-two-dimensional harmonic traps, with one species linearly perturbed in one direction. Non-dipolar coupled species are chosen to highlight mass symmetry effects. We first analyze the condensed mixture in the unperturbed non-rotating regime, where radial phase separation is verified in the immiscible regime, which occurs for large ratio between inter- and intra-species repulsive interactions. By going to the linear perturbed regime, the radial phase separation that occurs in the immiscible condition splits up with the two densities having their maxima at distinct positions. In the rotating regime of both unperturbed and perturbed cases, the minimum rotation is determined in terms of the inter-species interaction to observe vortex structures. In the immiscible regime a dramatic spatial interchange between the species is verified by increasing the rotation.

description: Using a nonparametric linear programming approach, our contribution is to examine if efficiency gains in Western crop production are realized due to diversification and to demonstrate that the diversification efficiency gains realized are a product of economies of scope efficiency gains and scale efficiency gains. The analysis employed cropping sector data for six major crops for the period, 1975-1996. Results indicate efficiency gains are realized due to diversification for all the two-crop combinations.

description: The study estimates the optimal dietary intake of Lagos State residents. Analysis of the available data indicates over-consumption of all nutrients which suggests that the common nutrition related health problems in Lagos State could be attributed to excessive nutrient in-take. Consumption at the optimal level would ensure adequate nutrients at a cost within people's income limitations. The results however revealed the inadequacies of using published data for the analysis. An independent diet recall survey is therefore recommended.

title: “A Child in Zion”: The Scriptural Fabric of Armenian Colophons

Publisher: name: Uppsala Universitet

description: A unique witness to the dynamism of a mediaeval Christian literature, the literary genre of the colophon in Armenia is notable for its reliance on biblical quotations, themes, and references. This essay provides a global overview of biblical materials found in Armenian colophons, emphasizing their significance as part of the Wirkungsgeschichte of the Bible in Armenia. Different levels of reception can be distinguished, from straightforward quotations to pervasive echoes and imitatio of biblical language. It is also shown that colophon authors did not refer to the Bible merely because it was customary to do so: they often used the Bible purposefully to stress salient points of their texts, and they eagerly related their personal experiences to biblical episodes. Translated excerpts of colophons illustrate each argument. As a whole, the paper casts a new light on the collective reception of the Bible in Armenian culture, particularly among lower-rank clerics, monastics, and literate laymen, who authored a majority of colophons.

description: This study analyses short and long term safety first business risk associated with twenty six no-till transition strategies across four types of farms in eastern Washington. Risk of transition failure generated from risk averse criteria are also contrasted with a risk neutral criterion. Results revealed (1) that speeds of adoption have a larger effect than drill acquisition sequences in successful transition, (2) high equity farm have higher chance of success, and (3) slow acreage expansion with a custom or rental drill is preferred until yield penalty is eliminated.

description: This study uses firm-level data during the hazard analysis critical control point (HACCP) implementation period (1997 - 2000) to analyze the impact of HACCP on input demand and output supply elasticities of firms in the red meat industry and derive implications for efficiency and moral hazard issues associated with the implementation of HACCP systems. The results show that HACCP causes factor demand for labor, material, and capital to be less inelastic while the elasticity of output supply did not change significantly. The interdependent relationships among HACCP and input prices and output result in efficiency gains.

description: The study estimates the determinants of technical inefficiency among the farmers that are participating in the Ondo State chapter of the National Directorate of Employment program in Nigeria. Using a tobit analysis, it was found that extension visits, higher education, land input and membership of farm association were significant factors influencing technical efficiency. This suggests that education, efficiency in supply of inputs and public awareness are key factors necessary for policy consideration.

description: An anticipated increase in lock delays on the upper Mississippi River has generated concern about its future navigational efficiency. The objective of this paper is to identify selected factors affecting lock delay on the River's busiest locks and to examine the impact of lock delay on grain barge rates. Results show that lock unavailability, traffic level, and delay at nearby locks affect lock delay. Further, barge rates are affected by lock delay, however, the impact is modest.

description: USDA released the proposed rule for Federal Milk Marketing Order (EMMO) Consolidation and reform on January 23rd, 1998. The rule met the mandate of the 1996 farm bill to propose a plan to consolidate the number of federal orders. Class I differential and Basic Formula Price (BEP) reform was also addressed in the report. Based on the proposed rule and USDA’s economic impact study, this briefing paper contains an analysis of the impacts of the consolidation and reform rule on U.S. representative dairy farms over the 1999-2004 period. Four options are analyzed in this report. They include: lA — A nationally coordinated system of location specific Class I price differentials. The differential has a value of $1.60 per cwt in the base zones of the Upper Midwest, Southwest, Midwest, and West. Differentials increase from the base areas to $4.30 per cwt in Florida. lB — A nationally coordinated system of relative value specific Class I differentials. Like option lA this proposal uses multiple basing points but a $1.20 per cwt base differential rather than $1.60 per cwt. Because the lB option results in substantial changes in Class I differentials, a phase in schedule of the differential changes is proposed. Three phase-in schedules are proposed for consideration in the proposed rule. Those schedules are: • lB phase-in. The new differentials are phased in over 5 years (1999-2003) at 20 percent of the price difference annually between the current and lB differential. • lB revenue neutral. To offset the revenue lost during the phase-in, and aid producers during the transition, Class I differentials are increased $0.55, $0.35, 1 $0.20, and $0.10 per cwt annually, respectively for the 1999-2002 period, over the phased in Class I differential level. • lB revenue enhanced. The transition differential is increased over the phase-in lB level by $1.10, $.70, $0.40, and $0.20 per cwt annually, respectively over the 1999-2002 period. This would provide producers enhanced revenue to aid in the transition to the new differentials.

description: The document analyzes the possession and access to assets on the part of the poor in Peru. It is found that during the last ten years the average level of access to education increased while and inequality of access to this asset decreased. The access to other public services has also increased, though the inequality levels are still very high. The same happens with the access to credit and other assets that can serve as collateral. The econometric analysis shows a positive effect of the access to public assets on the profitability of private assets. It is also found that changes in assets tenure are not sufficient to explain transitions toward and outside poverty, thought they are crucial to explain the permanency in poverty or the permanency out of this state.

description: The farm level economic impacts of the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (2002 Farm Bill) on representative crop, dairy, and livestock operations are projected in this report. The analysis was conducted over the 2007-2012 planning horizon using FLIPSIM, AFPC’s whole farm simulation model. Data to simulate agricultural operations in the nation’s major production regions came from two sources: • Producer panel cooperation to develop economic information to describe and simulate representative crop, livestock, and dairy farms. • Projected prices, policy variables, and input inflation rates from the Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute (FAPRI) December 2007 Baseline. The FLIPSIM policy simulation model incorporates the historical risk faced by agricultural producers for prices and production. This report presents the results of the December 2007 Baseline in a risk context using selected simulated probabilities and ranges for annual net cash farm income values. The probability of a farm experiencing a negative ending cash balance and the probability of a farm losing real net worth are included as indicators of the cash flow and equity risks facing producers through the year 2012. This report is organized into ten sections. The first section summarizes the process used to develop the representative farms and the key assumptions utilized for the farm level analysis. The second section summarizes the FAPRI December 2007 Baseline and the policy and price assumptions used for the representative farm analyses. The third through sixth sections present the results of the simulation analyses for feed grain, wheat, cotton, and rice farms. The seventh and eighth sections summarize simulation results for dairy and cattle. Two appendices constitute the final sections of the report. Appendix A provides tables to summarize the physical and financial characteristics for each of the representative farms. Appendix B provides the names of producers, land grant faculty, and industry leaders who cooperated in the panel interview process to develop the representative farms.

description: While projected milk prices are a primary determinant of the financial viability of the representative dairies, the prices of feed crops and cattle prices can also have an impact. Most of the dairies produce hay, silage, and other crops and are often net buyers. Commodity prices have a major impact on dairy returns because feed represents the number one cost for dairies. With the recent increase in demand for corn, prices are projected to increase, potentially affecting rations and feed costs. Projected milk and livestock prices for FAPRI’s August 2007 Baseline are presented in Table 1. In general, milk prices are projected to decrease each year from 2007 though 2012 after the large increase in price from 2006 to 2007. Cattle prices are expected to decrease with the downturn in the cattle cycle. Specifically, prices for milk and cattle are projected to move as follows : • U.S. All Milk price is expected to decrease from $19.07/cwt in 2007 to $15.72/cwt in 2012. • The localized prices for each state move with the U.S. All Milk price. • Feeder cattle prices are projected to decrease from $117.53/cwt in 2007 to $102.03/cwt in 2012. • Cull cow prices start at $50.94/cwt in 2007, increase to $52.98/cwt in 2008 and then decrease to $47.14/cwt by 2012. Projected crop prices for FAPRI’s August 2007 Baseline are also summarized in Table 1. Individual crop prices are projected to move as follows: • The U.S. all hay prices are expected to fall from $123.20/ton in 2007 to $110.86/ton in 2009 and then rise to $111.52/ton in 2012. • Corn prices start at $3.10/bu in 2007 and increases in 2008 to $3.38/bu and then falls to $3.25/bu by 2012. • Soybean Meal is expected to fall from $207.88/ton in 2007 to $192.68/ton by 2012. Projected annual rates of change for variable cash expenses are summarized in Table 2. The rate of change in input prices comes from FAPRI’s August 2007 Baseline. Based on projections from Global Insight, annual interest rates paid for intermediate-term and long-term loans and interest rates earned on savings are also reported in Table 2. Assumed annual rates of change in land values over the 2007-2012 period are provided by the FAPRI Baseline and are projected to range between a 3.51% and 13.68% per year.

description: While projected cattle prices are considered to be the primary determinant of the financial viability of the representative ranches, the prices of feed crops and bi-products can also have an impact. The ranches produce hay and are often net buyers or net sellers. At least two of the ranches retain ownership through the backgrounding stage and feed some concentrates. The smaller Missouri ranch produces a number of grain and oilseed crops, and the smaller Texas ranch also raises broilers. Additionally, crop prices have an impact on fed cattle returns, which impacts feeder cattle prices. Projected livestock prices for FAPRI’s August 2007 Baseline are presented in Table 1. In general, beef cattle prices are projected to decline each year from 2008 though 2012, but feeder cattle prices are now expected to stay above $102/cwt. Specifically, prices for classes of cattle are projected to move as follows: • Feeder cattle prices are projected to peak at $118.46/cwt in 2008 and decline to $102.03/cwt by 2012. • Fat cattle prices peak at $94.21/cwt in 2008 and end at $86.40/cwt in 2012. • Cull cow prices range between $47.14/cwt and $52.98/cwt during the 2007-2012 period. Projected crop prices for FAPRI’s August 2007 Baseline are also summarized in Table 1. Individual crop prices are projected to move as follows: • The U.S. all hay prices are expected to hit a high of $123.20/ton in 2007 and then level off to $111.52/ton by 2012. • Corn prices start at $3.10/bu in 2007, peak at $3.38/bu in 2008, and end at $3.25/bu in 2012. • Wheat prices range between $5.11/bu and $4.19/bu between 2007 and 2012, with the highest price expectation in 2007. • Sorghum prices remain in the relatively tight range of $2.92/bu to $3.19/bu through 2012. • Soybean meal is expected to stay between $192.68/ton and $207.88/ton from 2007- 2012. Projected annual rates of change for variable cash expenses are summarized in Table 2. The rate of change in input prices comes from FAPRI’s August 2007 Baseline. Based on projections from Global Insight, annual interest rates paid for intermediate-term and long-term loans and interest rates earned on savings are also reported in Table 2. Assumed annual rates of change in land values over the 2007-2012 period are provided by the FAPRI Baseline and are projected to range between 3.51% and 13.68% per year.

description: We present a through discussion of motivations for and phenomenological issues in supersymmetric models with minimal matter content and non-holomorphic soft-breaking terms. Using the unification of the gauge couplings and assuming SUSY is broken with non-standard soft terms, we provide semi-analytic solutions of the RGEs for low and high choices of tanβwhich can be used to study the phenomenology in detail. We also present a generic form of RGIs in mSUGRA framework which can be used to derive new relations in addition to those existing in the literature. Our results are mostly presented with respect to the conventional minimal supersymmetric model for ease of comparison.

"Understanding the context in which we live" : an interpretive description of the structural and relational factors that influence the care-seeking efforts of persons living in poverty
Creators: name: Da Silva, Beatrice (Betty) Hanna
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: In Canada, poverty rates, the gap between the rich and poor, and the health inequalities that follow continue to rise in disturbing proportions. There is therefore a compelling imperative for nurses to broaden their understanding of poverty and health inequalities and to reconstruct the model of health to include sociopolitical factors that reflect society's values and conflicts. The traditional health care response has been an emphasis on primarily increasing the availability and accessibility of health care to address the health needs of persons and communities living with poverty. Despite the enhancement of health care services, a lack of understanding the care-seeking efforts related to the attainment of health needs of persons living in poverty existed in the literature. The purpose of this qualitative research was to explore the structural and relational factors that influenced the effectiveness of the care-seeking efforts of urban persons living in poverty from the perspective of these economically disadvantaged persons. An interpretive description method that allowed the participants to identify and describe their care-seeking experiences was used for this study. Ten men and women with varied background who lived in one of the four low income neighbourhoods of Community Health Area #2 in Vancouver participated in the study. Thirteen audio-taped and transcribed interviews were accomplished and analyzed for emerging patterns and themes. The findings of this study focused on the participants' descriptions of living in poverty, receiving and providing lay help, and seeking necessary health or social care and supports. The study concludes that living in poverty influenced the participants' efforts in seeking help or care for the attainment of their health and basic needs. The participants' care-seeking behaviours and processes were influenced by the structural and relational factors related to the everyday constraints of living in poverty, their experiences of helpful and unhelpful health care, and the infrastructure barriers and gaps within the health and social care systems. An extensive range and types of helpful lay care from the participants' social and community support networks were also described. These findings have implications for nursing practice, nursing education, health care and public policy, and research.

description: Projected crop prices for FAPRI’s August 2007 Baseline are summarized in Table 1. In general, crop price projections tend to be higher than they were in recent baselines. Soybean and rice price projections increased most substantially. Individual crop prices are projected to move as follows: • Corn prices start at $3.10/bu in 2007, reach a high of $3.38/bu in 2008, and decline to $3.25/bu by 2012. • Wheat prices spike to $5.11/bu in 2007, and return to a range of $4.19/bu to $4.32/bu for the remainder of the planning horizon. • Cotton prices are now expected to peak at $0.6116/lb in 2009, and then stay above $0.5900/lb through 2012. • Rice prices are expected to remain above $9.00/cwt throughout the planning horizon, peaking at $9.90/cwt in 2007. • Sorghum prices are expected to remain relatively stable, ranging between $2.92/bu and $3.19/bu between 2007 and 2012. • Soybeans are expected to range between $7.72/bu and $8.01/bu during the planning horizon. • The U.S. all hay prices are expected to peak at $123.20/ton in 2007, and stay above $110.00/ton through 2012. Assumed loan rates and direct payment rates are reported in Table 1, and reflect the rates authorized in the 2002 Farm Bill. All payment rates are assumed to remain constant at 2006 levels for 2007 through 2012. Projected annual rates of change for variable cash expenses are summarized in Table 2. The rate of change in input prices comes from FAPRI’s August 2007 Baseline. Based on projections from Global Insight, annual interest rates paid for intermediate-term and long-term loans, and interest rates earned on savings are also reported in Table 2. Assumed annual rates of change in land values over the 2007-2012 period are provided by the FAPRI Baseline and are projected to range between 3.51% and 13.68% per year.

description: Properties of bottomonia (Upsilon, chi_b and Upsilon') in the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) are investigated by assessing inelastic reaction rates and their interplay with open-bottom states (b-quarks or B-mesons) and color-screening. The latter leads to vanishing quarkonium binding energies at sufficiently high temperatures (close to the dissolution point), which, in particular, renders standard gluo-dissociation, g+Upsilon -> b + b-bar, inefficient due to a substantial reduction in final-state phase space. This problem is overcome by invoking a "quasifree" destruction mechanism, g,q,q-bar + Upsilon -> g,q,q-bar + b + b-bar, as previously introduced for charmonia. The pertinent reaction rates are implemented into a kinetic theory framework to evaluate the time evolution of bottomonia in heavy-ion reactions at RHIC and LHC within an expanding fireball model. While bottom quarks are assumed to be exclusively produced in primordial nucleon-nucleon collisions, their thermal relaxation times in the QGP, which importantly figure into Upsilon-formation rates, are estimated according to a recent Fokker-Planck treatment. Predictions for the centrality dependence of Upsilon production are given for upcoming experiments at RHIC and LHC. At both energies, Upsilon suppression turns out to be the prevalent effect.

description: We study static, spherically symmetric, composite global-local monopoles with a direct interaction term between the two sectors in the regime where the interaction potential is large. At some critical coupling the global defect disappears and with it the deficit angle of the space-time. We find new solutions which represent local monopoles in an Anti-de-Sitter spacetime. In another parameter range the magnetic monopole, or even both, disappear. The decay of the magnetic monopole is accompanied by a dynamical transition from the higgsed phase to the gauge-symmetric phase. We comment on the applications to cosmology, topological inflation and braneworlds.

description: We study the long-time existence and behavior for a class of anisotropic non-homogeneous Gauss curvature flows whose stationary solutions, if exist, solve the regular Orlicz-Minkowski problems. As an application, we obtain old and new results for the regular even Orlicz-Minkowski problems; the corresponding $L_p$ version is the even $L_p$-Minkowski problem for $p>-n-1$. Moreover, employing a parabolic approximation method, we give new proofs of some of the existence results for the general Orlicz-Minkowski problems; the $L_p$ versions are the even $L_p$-Minkowski problem for $p>0$ and the $L_p$-Minkowski problem for $p>1$. In the final section, we use a curvature flow with no global term to solve a class of $L_p$-Christoffel-Minkowski type problems.

description: En esta investigación se analizan los mecanismos de ajuste del mercado de trabajo entre 1986 y 1997. Luego de un estancamiento del empleo entre 1988 y 1992, periodo recesivo en el cual el mercado de trabajo se ajustó a través de una reducción en los ingresos reales y una menor tasa de participación laboral, a partir de 1993, el empleo empezó a crecer junto con el nivel de actividad económica. El mercado de trabajo fue capaz de absorber el aumento de la oferta de empleo en ese periodo. El aumento del empleo fue generado íntegramente por el sector privado, ya que el empleo público se redujo. Sin embargo, hay grupos demográficos específicos, como los hombres de mayor edad, para quienes el crecimiento del empleo ha sido muy pequeño, y las probabilidades de desempleo han aumentado. A pesar de la liberalización del mercado de trabajo de 1991, el sector informal sigue comprendiendo a más de la mitad del empleo urbano, aunque no se encuentra un crecimiento de la participación del empleo informal, como usualmente se afirma. Comparando 1986 con 1997, se encuentra una destrucción neta de empleo de muy bajos ingresos pero también de empleos de muy altos ingresos. El sector servicios ha incrementado su participación en el empleo, tanto servicios de alta como de baja productividad. Parte importante del crecimiento del empleo asalariado ha sido vía contratos temporales, lo cual puede estar explicando el incremento de la participación de los empleos de corta duración. Los ingresos reales medios crecieron hasta 1995, en línea con el incremento de la productividad laboral, y a partir de ese año se estancaron. Como se describe aquí, a excepción de los hombres mayores, para el resto de los ocupados el problema principal son los bajos ingresos derivados de una baja productividad. Si bien los cambios en empleo e ingresos en el mercado de trabajo han ido en la dirección correcta, la magnitud de los mismos no han sido suficientes y la falta de empleo sigue siendo percibida como el problema más grave según la opinión pública.
Modeling self-organization of communication and topology in social networks

description: This paper introduces a model of self-organization between communication and topology in social networks, with a feedback between different communication habits and the topology. To study this feedback, we let agents communicate to build a perception of a network and use this information to create strategic links. We observe a narrow distribution of links when the communication is low and a system with a broad distribution of links when the communication is high. We also analyze the outcome of chatting, cheating, and lying, as strategies to get better access to information in the network. Chatting, although only adopted by a few agents, gives a global gain in the system. Contrary, a global loss is inevitable in a system with too many liars

description: The farm level economic impacts of the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (2002 Farm Bill) on representative crop, dairy, and livestock operations are projected in this report. The analysis was conducted over the 2007-2012 planning horizon using FLIPSIM, AFPC’s whole farm simulation model. Data to simulate agricultural operations in the nation’s major production regions came from two sources: 1) Producer panel cooperation to develop economic information to describe and simulate representative crop, livestock, and dairy farms. 2) Projected prices, policy variables, and input inflation rates from the Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute (FAPRI) August 2007 Baseline. The FLIPSIM policy simulation model incorporates the historical risk faced by agricultural producers for prices and production. This report presents the results of the August 2007 Baseline in a risk context using selected simulated probabilities and ranges for annual net cash farm income values. The probability of a farm experiencing a negative ending cash balance and the probability of a farm losing real net worth are included as indicators of the cash flow and equity risks facing producers through the year 2012. This report is organized into ten sections. The first section summarizes the process used to develop the representative farms and the key assumptions utilized for the farm level analysis. The second section summarizes the FAPRI August 2007 Baseline and the policy and price assumptions used for the representative farm analyses. The third through sixth sections present the results of the simulation analyses for feed grain, wheat, cotton, and rice farms. The seventh and eighth sections summarize simulation results for dairy and cattle. Two appendices constitute the final sections of the report. Appendix A provides tables to summarize the physical and financial characteristics for each of the representative farms. Appendix B provides the names of producers, land grant faculty, and industry leaders who cooperated in the panel interview process to develop the representative farms.

THE CAP MID TERM REVIEW AND THE WTO DOHA ROUND; ANALYSES FOR THE NETHERLANDS, EU AND ACCESSION COUNTRIES

Subjects: International Relations/Trade

description: This report analyses the potential impact of the EU CAP reforms that follow the Mid Term Review and the Harbinson Proposal for negotiation modalities in the WTO Doha Round on the Netherlands, EU14 and the accession countries. In welfare terms, the MTR has a rela-tively small impact on the Netherlands, the other member countries of the EU as well as the accession countries, while agricultural income decreases add up to around 2, 3 and 5 percent respectively. Under the Harbinson Proposal the Netherlands and the other EU member countries face losses of their agricultural incomes of 8 and 10 percent respec-tively, mainly due to reduced outputs in the cereals, oilseeds, and cattle sectors. The agricultural income in the accession countries is also decreasing. As a conclusion, the MTR does not make the European Agriculture compatible for the WTO Doha Round. The border protection measures, which are hardly affected in the MTR, still play a mayor role. Assumptions about the effects of decoupling and the difference between applied and bound tariff rates influence model results.

description: In the weak-magnetic-field approximation, we derived a general expression of hyperfine-induced Landé $g$-factors. By using this formula and the multi-configuration Dirac-Hartree-Fock theory, the $g$-factors were calculated for the $3s3p~^3\!P^o_0$ clock state in $^{27}$Al$^+$ and $5s5p~^3\!P^o_0$ in $^{87}$Sr. The present results, $δg^{(1)}_{\rm hfs}(^3\!P^o_0) = -1.183(6) \times 10^{-3}$ for $^{27}$Al$^+$ and $δg^{(1)}_{\rm hfs}(^3\!P^o_0) = 7.78(30) \times 10^{-5}$ for $^{87}$Sr agree with experimental values very well. Our theory is also useful to predict hyperfine-induced Landé $g$-factors for other atomic systems.
