description: Health and safety are important factors in today's life. Most of studies show that consuming the chicken that has anti biotic caused different diseases like digestive vessel cancer. Attention to controlled use of antibiotics can play a key role in society health which considered in the production of green chicken. Planning for increasing the production of mentioned chicken needs the investigation of consumers' WTP. So, using double bound contingent valuation method and logit model, present study estimates consumers' WTP for green chicken in Rasht city. Among the explanatory variables applied in logit model, income and education level had positive and significant effects on WTP for green chicken. Results revealed that average WTP for a kg of green chicken equals to 37279 Rials, and because this WTP does not compensate the production costs, government protection such as Green subsidy should be considered in order to expand green products consumption in Iran.
Vulnerability of quantum classification to adversarial perturbations

description: High-dimensional quantum systems are vital for quantum technologies and are essential in demonstrating practical quantum advantage in quantum computing, simulation and sensing. Since dimensionality grows exponentially with the number of qubits, the potential power of noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices over classical resources also stems from entangled states in high dimensions. An important family of quantum protocols that can take advantage of high-dimensional Hilbert space are classification tasks. These include quantum machine learning algorithms, witnesses in quantum information processing and certain decision problems. However, due to counter-intuitive geometrical properties emergent in high dimensions, classification problems are vulnerable to adversarial attacks. We demonstrate that the amount of perturbation needed for an adversary to induce a misclassification scales inversely with dimensionality. This is shown to be a fundamental feature independent of the details of the classification protocol. Furthermore, this leads to a trade-off between the security of the classification algorithm against adversarial attacks and quantum advantages we expect for high-dimensional problems. In fact, protection against these adversarial attacks require extra resources that scale at least polynomially with the Hilbert space dimension of the system, which can erase any significant quantum advantage that we might expect from a quantum protocol. This has wide-ranging implications in the use of both near-term and future quantum technologies for classification.

description: Aluminium alloys are difficult to be manufactured by directed energy deposition (DED) with the widely used infrared laser because of the low absorptivity. A blue laser with a 450 nm wavelength has a significantly higher laser absorptivity in processing aluminium. Here, we developed a 2000 W blue laser directed energy deposition (BL-DED) system for additive manufacturing. In this system, a coaxial camera, a paraxial high-speed camera, and a paraxial infrared camera were simultaneously adopted to analyze the formation and evolution of molten pool characteristics. The relationships among the molten pool characteristics, depositing states, and appearance defects were built. We successfully printed the curved thin wall with good appearance quality by the manual in-situ control of appearance defects. This work demonstrated the advantages of the blue laser in DED of aluminium alloy, which could melt the powders under lower energy input conditions and result in a more stable deposition process.

description: Over the past three decades vertical price transmission analysis has been the subject of considerable attention in applied agricultural economics. It has been argued that the existence of asymmetric price transmission generates rents for marketing and processing agents. Retail prices allegedly move faster upwards than downwards in response to farm level price movements. This is an important issue for many agricultural markets, including the Iranian chicken market. Chicken is an important source of nutrition in Iranian society and many rural households depend on this commodity market as a source of income. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the extent, if any, of asymmetric price transmission in Iran chicken market using the Houck, Error Correction and Threshold models. The analysis is based on weekly chicken price data at farm and retail levels over the period October 2002 to March 2006. The results of tests on all three models show that price transmission in Iranian chicken market is long-run symmetric, but short-run asymmetric. Increases in the farm price transmit immediately to the retail level, while decreases in farm price transmit relatively more slowly to the retail level. We conjecture the asymmetric price transmission in this market is the result of high inflation rates that lead the consumers to expect continual price increases and a different adjustment costs in the upwards direction compared to the downwards direction for the marketing agents and a noncompetitive slaughtering industry and that looking for ways to make this sector of the chicken supply chain more competitive will foster greater price transmission symmetry and lead to welfare gains for both consumers and agricultural producers.

The samples were chosen from rural development experts of Hamedan Province during a snowball sampling process. The data were collected by the semistructured interviews. The data collection was done by faceto- face interviews, after the interview questions guide was determined. The theoretical saturation was attained by interviewing 25 respondents and at this point the interview process was laid off. The qualitative analysis of interviews was done by a content analysis method. The results showed that in order to develop and promote the rural women enterprises not only financial, domestic, managerial, educational and cultural supports are needed but some approaches like culturalization and educational programs are vital too.

description: We investigate the potential of 3 kiloTon-years(kTy) of KamLAND data to further constrain the $Δm^2$ and $\tan^2θ$ values compared to those presently allowed by existing KamLAND and global solar data. We study the extent, dependence and characteristics of this sensitivity in and around the two parts of the LMA region that are currently allowed. Our analysis with 3 kTy simulated spectra shows that KamLAND spectrum data by itself can constrain $Δm^2$ with high precision. Combining the spectrum with global solar data further tightens the constraints on allowed values of $\tan^2θ$ and $Δm^2$. We also study the effects of future neutral current data with a total error of 7% from the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory. We find that these future measurements offer the potential of considerable precision in determining the oscillation parameters (specially the mass parameter).

We show that the small weight is related to its concentration in a small region of momentum and energy. Despite this, we find that a large fermionic self-energy can indeed be generated by a resonance with such properties, i.e., the scattering from the resonance substantially affects the electronic properties of the cuprates below $T_c$.

Growth, degrowth, and the challenge of artificial superintelligence
Creators: name: Pueyo, Salvador
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Computers and Society (cs.CY)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: The implications of technological innovation for sustainability are becoming increasingly complex with information technology moving machines from being mere tools for production or objects of consumption to playing a role in economic decision making. This emerging role will acquire overwhelming importance if, as a growing body of literature suggests, artificial intelligence is underway to outperform human intelligence in most of its dimensions, thus becoming "superintelligence". Hitherto, the risks posed by this technology have been framed as a technical rather than a political challenge. With the help of a thought experiment, this paper explores the environmental and social implications of superintelligence emerging in an economy shaped by neoliberal policies. It is argued that such policies exacerbate the risk of extremely adverse impacts. The experiment also serves to highlight some serious flaws in the pursuit of economic efficiency and growth per se, and suggests that the challenge of superintelligence cannot be separated from the other major environmental and social challenges, demanding a fundamental transformation along the lines of degrowth. Crucially, with machines outperforming them in their functions, there is little reason to expect economic elites to be exempt from the threats that superintelligence would pose in a neoliberal context, which opens a door to overcoming vested interests that stand in the way of social change toward sustainability and equity.

description: The project was undertaken to study the evaluation of effectiveness of crop advisory services and suggested measures for filling the gap in Aurangabad district of Maharashtra in India. The survey was carried out in 2010. The data was collected with the help of a specifically designed and pre-tested questionnaire. The project carried out in catchment area of advisory services has given substantial insight on the current status of different dimensions of advisory services running in Aurangabad and also recommends strategies to make advisory services accessible to all. The farmer's willingness to pay assumes a key role in determining the success of a cost-recovery strategy. During the study it was interesting to note that of all the 115 respondents 46.67% agreed that their critical need was supply of inputs followed by credit purchase on which the advisory services provider should focus. The dissemination channels were not utilized properly. The results of correlation study indicate that the recommendations by the advisory services and the results after advise have a positive correlation with increase in yield showing the effectiveness of these crop advisory services. The results of multivariate regression indicated that the cropping and harvesting method, credit access, input supply linkage, insurance, age, education and interaction with other farmers have the main role in showing the variations of attitude to adoption of the advisory services.

description: Past research has established that telemedicine improves stroke care through decreased time to treatment and more accurate diagnoses. The goals of this study were to 1) study how clinicians complete stroke assessment using a telemedicine system integrated in ambulances, 2) determine potential errors and usability issues when using the system, and 3) develop recommendations to mitigate these issues. This study investigated use of a telemedicine platform to evaluate a stroke patient in an ambulance with a geographically distributed caregiving team comprised of a paramedic, nurse, and neurologist. It first determined the tasks involved based on 13 observations of a simulated stroke using 39 care providers. Based on these observational studies, a Hierarchical Task Analysis (HTA) was developed, and subsequently, a heuristic evaluation was conducted to determine the usability issues in the interface of the telemedicine system. This was followed by a Systematic Human Error Reduction and Prediction Approach (SHERPA) to determine the possibility of human error while providing care using the telemedicine work system. The results from the HTA included 6 primary subgoals categorizing the 97 tasks to complete the stroke evaluation. The heuristic evaluation found 123 unique violations to heuristics, with an average severity of 2.38. One hundred and thirty-one potential human errors were found with SHERPA, the two most common being miscommunication and selecting an incorrect option. Several recommendations are proposed, including improvement of labeling, consistent formatting, rigid or suggested formatting for data input, automation of task structure and camera movement, and audio/visual improvements to support communication.

description: The agri-food industry is one of the most representative sectors of the Spanish economy, both for its contribution to domestic economic growth and, above all, for its international projection. The aim of this paper is, first, identify the strongest chapters of the Spanish agri-food exports and, secondly, to analyze the ability of Spain to consolidate and improve the position reached (market share) in world markets, given the dynamics of international demand of each of the chapters considered and the degree of diversification in terms of customers (destinations) and exportable supply. The results confirm that Spain has managed to increase its market share in almost all agrifood activities, with the exception of fruit and vegetables, characterized by a high concentration of sales in the European market. This increase in market share, indicative of the sector competitiveness, has also ocurred in some of the chapters where international markets show greater dynamism, which offers favorable prospects for the sector.

description: Variational methods are employed in situations where exact Bayesian inference becomes intractable due to the difficulty in performing certain integrals. Typically, variational methods postulate a tractable posterior and formulate a lower bound on the desired integral to be approximated, e.g. marginal likelihood. The lower bound is then optimised with respect to its free parameters, the so called variational parameters. However, this is not always possible as for certain integrals it is very challenging (or tedious) to come up with a suitable lower bound. Here we propose a simple scheme that overcomes some of the awkward cases where the usual variational treatment becomes difficult. The scheme relies on a rewriting of the lower bound on the model log-likelihood. We demonstrate the proposed scheme on a number of synthetic and real examples, as well as on a real geophysical model for which the standard variational approaches are inapplicable.

description: The mode-coupling theory for ideal glass transitions in simple systems is generalized to a theory for the glassy dynamics of molecular liquids using the density fluctuations of the sites of the molecule's constituent atoms as the basic structure variables. The theory is applied to calculate the liquid-glass phase diagram and the form factors for the arrested structure of a system of symmetric dumbbells of fused hard spheres. The static structure factors, which enter the equations of motion as input, are calculated as function of the packing fraction $ϕ$ and the molecule's elongation $ζ$ within the reference-interaction-site-model and Percus-Yevick theories. The critical packing fraction $ϕ_{c}$ for the glass transition is obtained as non-monotone function of $ζ$ with a maximum near $ζ= 0.43$. A transition line is calculated separating a small-$ζ$-glass phase with ergodic dipole motion from a large-$ζ$-glass phase where also the reorientational motion is arrested. The Debye-Waller factors at the transition are found to be somewhat larger for sufficiently elongated systems than those for the simple hard-sphere system, but the wave-number dependence of the glass-form factors is quite similar. The dipole reorientations for $ζ\ge 0.6$ are arrested as strongly as density fluctuations with wave vectors at the position of the first sharp diffraction peak.

description: The CAP 2020 introduces many relevant changes in the direct support to farmers. One of the key issues is the growing role of Member States in tailoring the new direct payments in accordance to equity criteria. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the national models implementing the direct payments as well as to highlight the specific tools used in order to secure a fairer distribution of farmers’ support.

description: Using a sample of 31 main-sequence OB stars located between galactocentric distances 8.4 - 15.6 kpc, we aim to probe the present-day radial abundance gradients of the Galactic disk. The analysis is based on high-resolution spectra obtained with the MIKE spectrograph on the Magellan Clay 6.5-m telescope on Las Campanas. We used a non-NLTE analysis in a self-consistent semi-automatic routine based on TLUSTY and SYNSPEC to determine atmospheric parameters and chemical abundances. Stellar parameters (effective temperature, surface gravity, projected rotational velocity, microturbulence, and macroturbulence) and silicon and oxygen abundances are presented for 28 stars located beyond 9 kpc from the Galactic centre plus three stars in the solar neighborhood. The stars of our sample are mostly on the main-sequence, with effective temperatures between 20800 - 31300 K, and surface gravities between 3.23 - 4.45 dex. The radial oxygen and silicon abundance gradients are negative and have slopes of -0.07 dex/kpc and -0.09 dex/kpc, respectively, in the region $8.4 \leq R_G \leq 15.6$\,kpc. The obtained gradients are compatible with the present-day oxygen and silicon abundances measured in the solar neighborhood and are consistent with radial metallicity gradients predicted by chemodynamical models of Galaxy Evolution for a subsample of young stars located close to the Galactic plane.

description: The phytochemical investigation of the methanol extract of Ixeris sonchifolia led to the isolation and identification of nine analogs, including one new guaiane-type sesquiterpenoid, named ixerinoid A (1). The structure of 1 was determined by extensive analysis of the 1 D and 2 D nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic data, as well as quantum chemical calculations. Additionally, all the isolates were tested for their neuroprotective activity using the oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion-induced SH-SY5Y cell injury model. Compounds 3, 5, 6, 8, and 9 displayed remarkable protective effects at concentrations of 1, 5, and 10 μM, respectively.

description: Recently, a method was presented for constructing self-energies within many-body perturbation theory that are guaranteed to produce a positive spectral function for equilibrium systems, by representing the self-energy as a product of half-diagrams on the forward and backward branches of the Keldysh contour. We derive an alternative half-diagram representation that is based on products of retarded diagrams. Our approach extends the method to systems out of equilibrium. When a steady-state limit exists, we show that our approach yields a positive definite spectral function in the frequency domain.

description: High-density communication through optical fiber is made possible by Wavelength Division Multiplexing, which is the simultaneous transmission of many discrete signals at different optical frequencies. Vast quantities of data may be transmitted without interference using this scheme but flexible routing of these signals requires an electronic middle step, carrying a cost in latency. We present a technique for frequency conversion across the entire WDM spectrum with a single device, which removes this latency cost. Using an optical waveguide in lithium niobate and two infrared pump beams, we show how to maximize conversion efficiency between arbitrary frequencies by analyzing the role of dispersion in cascaded nonlinear processes. The technique is presented generally and may be applied to any suitable nonlinear material or platform, and to classical or quantum optical signals.
Predicting Wildfires : An investigation of species-specific responses to drought and how it is quantified in order to predict the risk and behavior of wildfires.

description: The level of drought is an important factor regarding the risk of wildfires and is assessed quantitatively by the BC Wildfire Service in order to make accurate predictions about fire behavior. Precipitation, the soil moisture index and temperature are taken into account, but not the species of trees or fuel type present. Three samples each of eight different species representing five prominent fuel types in BC were saturated and dried in order to assess species-specific response to drought. The results showed that while the rate of water loss is the same among species, the species vary significantly in the amount of water that they can take up, which ultimately creates species-specific drying times upon exposure to the same precipitation levels. Therefore, we concluded that the current method for computing drought is incomplete and proposed an adjusted method that incorporates species and fuel type. This means that fire risk can be assessed with greater accuracy which is critical for effective deployment of resources and fire suppression.
Chiral corrections and lattice QCD results for fBs/fBd and (Delta ms/Delta md)

description: It has been argued recently that the inclusion of the chiral logarithms in extrapolation of the lattice data can shift the value of the hadronic parameter xi = (fBs sqrt(B_{Bs}))/(fBd sqrt(B_{Bd})), from 1.16(6) to 1.32(10) and even higher. If true, that would considerably change the theoretical estimate for the ratio of oscillation frequencies in the neutral Bs- and Bd-systems, and would affect the standard CKM unitarity triangle analysis. In this letter we show that (fBs/fBd) \approx (fK/fpi), and thus the uncertainty due to the missing chiral logs is smaller than previously thought. By combining the NLO chiral expansion with the static heavy quark limit we obtain xi = 1.22(8).

description: For the last years, consumption of organic products in general and in particular organic olive oil is experiencing a significant increase in Spain. The growth in demand does not justify, however, a balanced position in the domestic market, on the contrary, surpluses, that make the export be required like a requirement for the viability of the sector. In this research, some factors that traditionally has been linked to the possibility that companies actively participate in international markets have been analysed. The results extracted, using method a binary logistic regression show the existence of a relationship between the training manager, legal form and the use of Information Technology and Communication (ICT) and the probability that the organic olive oil of the Spanish companies can be actively sold abroad.
