description: We report results on the rectification properties of a carbon nanotube (CNT) ring transistor, contacted by CNT leads, whose novel features have been recently communicated by Watanabe et al. [Appl. Phys. Lett. 78, 2928 (2001)]. This paper contains results which are validated by the experimental observations. Moreover, we report on additional features of the transmission of this ring device which are associated with the possibility of breaking the lead inversion symmetry. The linear conductance displays a "chessboard"-like behavior alternated with anomalous zero-lines which should be directly observable in experiments. We are also able to discriminate in our results structural properties (quasi-onedimensional confinement) from pure topological effects (ring configuration), thus helping to gain physical intuition on the rich ring phenomenology.

description: The processes of planet formation and migration depend intimately on the interaction between planetesimals and the gaseous disks in which they form. The formation of gaps in the disk can severely limit the mass of the planet and its migration toward the protostar. We investigate the process of gap formation through magnetohydrodynamic simulations in which internal stress arises self-consistently from turbulence generated by the magnetorotational instability. The simulations investigate three different planetary masses and two disk temperatures to bracket the tidal (thermal) and viscous gap opening conditions. The results are in general qualitative agreement with previous simulations of gap formation, but show significant differences. In the presence of MHD turbulence, the gaps produced are shallower and asymmetrically wider than those produced with pure hydrodynamics. The rate of gap formation is also slowed, with accretion occurring across the developing gap. Viscous hydrodynamics does not adequately describe the evolution, however, because planets capable of producing gaps also may be capable of affecting the level MHD turbulence in different regions of the disk.

Sustainability and Governance of Microfinance Institutions: Recent Experiences and Some Lessons for Southeast Asia

description: Microfinance has become an important tool for poverty reduction in many parts of the world, including Asia and the Pacific region. Microfinance institutions (MFIs) target the poor through innovative approaches which include group lending, progressive lending, regular repayment schedules, and collateral substitutes. This paper reviews the experiences of microfinance institutions in different parts of the world in the areas of sustainability and governance, and draws lessons for Southeast Asian countries. In microfinance, sustainability can relate to organisational, managerial and financial aspects but the issue of financial sustainability of MFIs has attracted more attention in mainstream analysis. In the region, the South East Asian MFIs fare well in terms of financial sustainability as they earn positive returns on assets and equity, covering much higher cost levels by earning more from their loan portfolios. In contrast, South Asian MFIs have negative returns on assets and equity, despite having one of the lowest expense structures in the world. MFIs face an apparent tension between achieving financial sustainability and contributing to poverty reduction. Exclusion of the poorest from microfinance schemes is a well-known challenge. While some of the poorest fail to participate in such schemes either because of their lack of awareness or inability to overcome their social exclusion, many more are excluded because of arbitrariness in the selection of beneficiaries and inadequate flexibility in the design of the scheme. If MFIs have to serve the poor in remote rural areas, it may be difficult for them to achieve financial self-sufficiency. In such a case, some level of subsidy may be justified if they can be shown to be more effective than alternative strategies to reduce poverty. Nonetheless, these MFIs should strive to achieve financial sustainability by reducing operational costs and charging market rates of interest. The higher the degree of self-sufficiency, the greater the extent to which an MFI can leverage donor and government funds to expand outreach.
MNEs and the Global Integration of Thailand’s Processed Food Exports: A Firm-Level Study

description: This paper presents the findings of a firm-level case study examining the role of multinational enterprises (MNEs) in processed food exports from Thailand. The discussion covers both FDI (foreign direct investment) and non-FDI channels of MNE involvement in the export of four major items, namely, canned pineapple, canned tuna, processed chicken, and processed shrimp. The findings suggest that MNEs play a vital role in the expansion of processed food exports from Thailand. MNE involvement begins with the establishment of joint ventures with Thai firms (FDI channel). Then, other local firms engage in export-oriented production and enhance their competitiveness through technology spillover. As the industry gains maturity, links with MNE buyers begin to play a far more important role than the FDI channel. The highly liberal trade and investment policy regime of Thailand, as well as the absorptive capability of local firms and the presence of the Thai MNE, CP group, are important elements of the enabling environment that allows these Thai exporting firms to gain maximum benefits from MNE involvement. The Thai experience demonstrates that the conventional approach of focusing on FDI as the sole link between MNEs and domestic manufacturing tends to overlook the significant role of MNEs in the export performance of the host countries’ diffused-technology industries such as food processing.

description: Two-dimensional spinless Falicov-Kimball model (FKM) with correlated hopping is studied perturbatively in the limit of large on-site Coulomb interaction $U$. In the neutral case the effective Hamiltonian in spin variables is derived up to terms proportional to $U^{-3}$. Unlike the simplest FKM case, it contains odd parity terms (resulting from the correlated hopping) in addition to even parity ones. The ground-state phase diagram of the effective Hamiltonian is examined in the $(a/t, h)$ plane, where $a/t$ is a parameter characterizing strength of the correlated hopping and $h$ is a difference of chemical potentials of two sorts of particles present in the system. It appears to be asymmetric with respect to the change $h\to -h$ and a new ordered phase is found for a certain interval of $a/t$.

description: We analyze the full $\mathit{Kepler}$ phase curve of KOI-964, a binary system consisting of a hot white dwarf on an eclipsing orbit around an A-type host star. Using all 18 quarters of long-cadence photometry, we carry out a joint light curve fit and obtain improved phase curve amplitudes, occultation depths, orbital parameters, and transit ephemeris over the previous results of Carter et al. 2011. A periodogram of the residuals from the phase curve fit reveals an additional stellar variability signal from the host star with a characteristic period of $0.620276\pm0.000011$ days and a full amplitude of $24\pm2$ ppm. We also present new Keck/HIRES radial velocity observations which we use to measure the orbit and obtain a mass ratio of $q=0.106\pm0.012$. Combining this measurement with the results of a stellar isochrone analysis, we find that the masses of the host star and white dwarf companion are $2.23\pm0.12\,M_{\odot}$ and $0.236^{+0.028}_{-0.027}\,M_{\odot}$, respectively. The effective temperatures of the two components are $9940^{+260}_{-230}$ K and $15080\pm400$ K, respectively, and we determine the age of the system to be $0.21^{+0.11}_{-0.08}$ Gyr. We use the measured system properties to compute predicted phase curve amplitudes and find that while the measured Doppler boosting and mutual illumination components agree well with theory, the ellipsoidal distortion amplitude is significantly underestimated. We detail possible explanations for this discrepancy, including interactions between the dynamical tide of the host star and the tidal bulge and possible non-synchronous rotation of the host star.

Nonlinear quasilocalized excitations in glasses. I. True representatives of soft spots

description: Structural glasses formed by quenching a melt possess a population of soft quasilocalized excitations --- often called `soft spots' --- that are believed to play a key role in various thermodynamic, transport and mechanical phenomena. Under a narrow set of circumstances, quasilocalized excitations assume the form of vibrational (normal) modes, that are readily obtained by a harmonic analysis of the multi-dimensional potential energy. In general, however, direct access to the population of quasilocalized modes via harmonic analysis is hindered by hybridizations with other low-energy excitations, e.g.~phonons. In this series of papers we re-introduce and investigate the statistical-mechanical properties of a class of low-energy quasilocalized modes --- coined here \emph{nonlinear quasilocalized excitations} (NQEs) --- that are defined via an anharmonic (nonlinear) analysis of the potential energy landscape of a glass, and do not hybridize with other low-energy excitations. In this first paper, we review the theoretical framework that embeds a micromechanical definition of NQEs. We demonstrate how harmonic quasilocalized modes hybridize with other soft excitations, whereas NQEs properly represent soft spots without hybridization. We show that NQEs' energies converge to the energies of the softest, non-hybridized harmonic quasilocalized modes, cementing their status as true representatives of soft spots in structural glasses. Finally, we perform a statistical analysis of the mechanical properties of NQEs, which results in a prediction for the distribution of potential energy barriers that surround typical inherent states of structural glasses, as well as a prediction for the distribution of local strain thresholds to plastic instability.

description: Current perceptions about agriculture-based systems are rooted in an assessment of their negative and positive externalities, as well as their tremendous influence in the cultural and religious values of communities. Among the emerging concerns is how to integrate this view of the multi-faceted nature and function of agroecosystems, not only in incentive systems but also in national, regional, and global policy guidelines. This paper documents available evidence which shows that the concept of multifunctionality can be used as the basis of agricultural policymaking. The concept of multifunctionality is differentiated and at the same time associated with the popular concept of sustainability. It is pointed out that sustainability finds expression in a multifunctional agroecosystem; that is, multifunctionality is a sufficient condition for sustainable agricultural system but not a necessary condition. Various examples presented in this paper indicate the need to look at the multifunctionality of agricultural systems in a landscape vis-à-vis its historical, spatial and time dimensions of its biodiversity element. The review of field studies provides evidence that ecological processes drive the relationships between the various roles of agroecosystems. The cases cited consist of: a paddy rice agricultural system in Yunnan province in China which has resulted from the interspecific enhancement of agrobiodiversity; a sustainable rice production system among the Bontocs in Northern Luzon, Philippines, where the interaction between the household and the rice agroecosystem has led to improved nutrient recycling; and the Phu Wiang watershed in Northeast Thailand where the lowland agroecosystem productivity is maintained at the expense of the uplands and upper forest areas. The final section concludes with a list of questions that need to be addressed before an effective agri-environmental policy can be implemented within the context of developing countries. These questions hark back to the basic premise that implementing agri-environmental policies rooted within the concepts of multifunctionality involves technology or science, ecology, economics, and institutions. The multifunctional role of agroecosystems, which is just beginning to be slowly unraveled, will become an important area of research, and should prove valuable toward achieving national development as well as fulfilling certain Millennium Development Goals.
Principle of Pattern Selection for Nonequilibrium Phenomena

description: A general principle is advanced allowing the classification of nonunique solutions to nonlinear evolution equations, corresponding to different spatio-temporal patterns. This is done by defining the probability distribution of patterns, which characterizes multiple solutions as more or less probable with respect to each other. The most probable pattern is naturally defined by the maximum of the pattern distribution. This maximum is shown to be equivalent to the {\it minimum of local contraction}. The formulated principle plays for nonequilibrium dynamical systems the same ordering role as the condition of minimal free energy for equilibrium statistical systems. The generality of the principle is illustrated by several examples of different nature.

The dependence of the peak intensity on doping is consistent with a polaronic mechanism, identified with the disordered charge stripes overcoming pinning centers. A marked decrease of the peak amplitude occurs at x > 0.045, the same doping range where a change of the stripe order from parallel to diagonal with respect to the Cu-O bonds has been observed by neutron diffraction. Both the energy barrier and peak amplitude also exhibit a rise near x = 1/8.

description: Building upon our research into the Quantum Toroidal Universe and Proto-Symmetry Fields, we now investigate whether energy flow within a two-planar cosmos follows opposing quantum fields, functioning either along a negative axis or a positive axis. This study extends our past findings on super-chaotic toroidal structures and quantum wave evolution, aiming to determine if a dual-universe model exists where energy mirrors itself in a counter-space, creating a balanced system of creation and dissipation. Our latest simulation confirms a dynamically stable energy exchange between these two universes, providing strong mathematical support for the Two-Planar Theory.

description: High energy cosmic rays reach the surface of the Sun and start showers with thousands of secondary particles. Most of them will be absorbed by the Sun, but a fraction of the neutral ones will escape and reach the Earth. Here we incorporate a new ingredient that is essential to understand the flux of these solar particles: the cosmic ray shadow of the Sun. We use Liouville's theorem to argue that the only effect of the solar magnetic field on the isotropic cosmic ray flux is to interrupt some of the trajectories that were aiming to the Earth and create a shadow. This shadow reveals the average solar depth crossed by cosmic rays of a given rigidity. The absorbed cosmic ray flux is then processed in the thin Solar surface and, assuming that the emission of neutral particles by low-energy charged particles is isotropic, we obtain (i) a flux of gammas that is consistent with Fermi-LAT observations, (ii) a flux of 100-300 neutrons/(year m^2) produced basically in the spallation of primary He nuclei, and (iii) a neutrino flux that is above the atmospheric neutrino background at energies above 0.1-0.6 TeV (depending on the solar phase and the zenith inclination). More precise measurements of the cosmic ray shadow and of the solar gamma flux, together with the possible discovery of the neutron and neutrino signals, would provide valuable information about the magnetic field, the cycle, and the interior of the Sun.

Dissipation is introduced by adding a small probability of particle loss at each toppling. Generically, for models with a preferred direction, the avalanche exponents are those of critical directed percolation clusters. For undirected models, avalanche exponents are those of directed percolation clusters in one higher dimension.

description: In the last two decades, Asia has become the world’s fastest economically growing area. Countries in Southeast Asia are growing at an increasing rate. For instance, the average annual income is increasing from 4% to 8%, population from 2% to 3%, urbanization from 4% to 6%, and meat consumption from 4% to 8%. In this region, pork is the most important source of meat, accounting for approximately 58% of total meat output. However, pig production in the region is small in scale with more than 70% being smallholders. Regional and national goals to reach the international market threaten traditional pig production due to its perceived low standard of output. Alongside, natural resources are under high pressure from heavy pollution emanating from pig production. Industrialization has caused the migration of the pig population from rural areas to the outskirts of big cities like Manila, Ho Chi Minh, and Siemriep, or Phnom Penh. Industrialization has also resulted in air, soil, and water pollution in these cities. In addition, the region shares a huge area of the South China Sea and by intensive pig keeping, surplus nutrients and minerals flow into that sea. This paper aims to: 1) provide an overview of the current pig production situation in certain selected ASEAN countries, namely Cambodia, Laos, Philippines, and Vietnam; 2) analyze how these changes may occur over the coming years and how it will affect the livelihoods of different types of pig farmers (large, medium, small); 3) identify some of the constraints that will need to be overcome (e.g., environmental impact, disease challenge, breed loss, effect of globalization, marginalization of small farmers, climate change issues); and 4) to pinpoint certain guidelines for drawing up a regional strategy on pig production.

Frequency-dependence of the Nyquist noise contribution to the dephasing rate in disordered conductors

description: We calculate the Nyquist noise contribution to the dephasing rate 1/τ_{nn}(omega, T) of disordered conductors in d dimensions in the regime where the frequency omega is larger than the temperature T. For systems with a continuous spectrum we find at zero temperature $1/ tau_{nn} (omega, 0) propto nu_d^{-1} (omega / D)^{d/2}, which agrees qualitatively with the inelastic quasiparticle scattering rate. Here nu_d is d-dimensional density of states, and D is the diffusion coefficient. Because at zero frequency and finite temperatures 1 / tau_{nn} (0, T) propto [ T / (nu_d {D}^{d/2})]^{2 / (4-d)} for d < 2, the frequency-dependence of 1/ τ_{nn} (omega, 0) in reduced dimensions cannot be obtained by simply replacing T rightarrow omega in the corresponding finite-temperature expression for 1/ tau_{nn} (0, T). We also discuss the dephasing rate in mesoscopic systems with length L and show that for omega < D /L^2 the spectrum is effectively continuous as far as transport is concerned. We propose weak localization measurements of the AC conductivity in the GHz-range to clarify the origin of the experimentally observed zero-temperature saturation of the dephasing rate.

description: An atomic magnetometer operated with elliptically polarized light is investigated theoretically and experimentally. To explore the potential of this magnetometric configuration, the analytical form of the outgoing signal is derived. Parameters that significantly influence the performance are optimized, which lead to a sensitivity of 300 $\rm fT/\sqrt{Hz}$ at 45 $^{\circ}$C with a 2$\times$2$\times2$ cm uncoated Rb vapor cell. It is remarkable that a sensitivity of 690 $\rm fT/\sqrt{Hz}$ is achieved at room temperature of 24 $^{\circ}$C, which is improved by an order of magnitude compared with the conventional $M_x$ magnetometer under its own optimized condition. The elliptically polarized approach offers attractive features for developing compact, low-power magnetometers, which are available without heating the uncoated vapor cell.

description: We investigate the impact of climatic change on welfare in European regions using a hedonic travel-cost framework and focusing on tourism demand. Our hedonic price estimations combine detailed hotel price information with tourism-specific travel cost estimations for each pair of EU region. This approach allows us to estimate different valuations of climate amenities depending on time duration of holidays. In our analysis of adaptation to climate change we therefore consider holiday duration as variable of adaptation. Our findings suggest that the rise in temperature in preferred destination choices during the summer season (i.e. southern EU) is likely to yield significant welfare losses. As a result European tourists are more likely to spend shorter (and more frequent) holidays and to diversify their destination choices in order to mitigate these losses.

description: According to the Rockets and Feathers hypothesis (RFH), the transmission mechanism of positive and negative changes in the price of crude oil to the price of gasoline is asymmetric. Although there have been many contributions documenting that downstream prices are more reactive to increases than to decreases in upstream prices, little is known about the forecasting performance of econometric models incorporating asymmetric price transmission from crude oil to gasoline. In this paper we fill this gap by comparing point, sign and probability forecasts from a variety of Asymmetric-ECM (A-ECM) and Threshold Autoregressive ECM (TAR-ECM) specifications against a standard ECM. Forecasts from A-ECM and TAR-ECM subsume the RFH, while the ECM implies symmetric price transmission from crude oil to gasoline. We quantify the forecast accuracy gains due to incorporating the RFH in predictive models for the prices of gasoline and diesel. We show that the RFH is useless for point forecasting, while it can be exploited to produce more accurate sign and probability forecasts. Finally, we highlight that the forecasting performance of the estimated models is time-varying.

description: Let $A$ be a regular 2-dimensional local ring of characteristic $p>0$, and let $L/K$ be a cyclic extension of degree $p$ of its field of fractions such that the corresponding branch divisor is normal crossing. For each $\gp\in\Spec A$ of height 1 such that $A/\gp$ is regular, consider the ramification jump $h_\gp$ of the extension of the residue field at $\gp$. In this paper the semi-continuity of $h_\gp$ with respect to Zariski topology of suitable jet spaces is proved. The asymptotic of $h_\gp$ with respect to intersection multiplicity of the prime divisor defined by $\gp$ and the branch divisor is also addressed.

description: We present the observations of the gravitationally lensed system QSO 2237+0305 performed with the Chandra X-ray Observatory on 2000 Sept. 6, and on 2001 Dec. 8 for 30.3 ks and 9.5 ks, respectively. Imaging analysis resolves the four X-ray images of the Einstein Cross. A possible fifth image is detected; however, this detection less certain. Fits to the combined spectrum of all images of the Einstein Cross assuming a simple power law with Galactic and intervening absorption at the lensing galaxy yield a photon index of 1.90(+0.05,-0.05). For the first observation, this spectral model yields a 0.4-8.0 keV X-ray flux of 4.6e-13 erg cm-2 s-1 and a 0.4-8.0 keV lensed luminosity of 1.0e46 erg s-1. The source exhibits variability both over long and short time scales. The X-ray flux has dropped by 20% between the two observations, and the K-S test showed that image A is variable at the 97% confidence level within the first observation. Furthermore, a possible time-delay of 2.7(+0.5,-0.9) hours between images A and B with image A leading is detected in the first observation. The X-ray flux ratios of the images are consistent with the optical flux ratios which are affected by microlensing suggesting that the X-ray emission is also microlensed. A comparison between our measured column densities and those inferred from extinction measurements suggests a higher dust-to-gas ratio in the lensing galaxy than the average value of our Galaxy. Finally, we report the detection at the 99.99% confidence level of a broad emission feature near the redshifted energy of the Fe Kαline in only the spectrum of image A. The rest frame energy, width, and equivalent width of this feature are E = 5.7(+0.2,-0.3) keV, sigma = 0.87(+0.30,-0.15) keV, and EW = 1200(+300,-200) eV, respectively.

description: The inconsistence of genotypes across location during plant breeding is the major challenges to the breeder. That is the differential response of genotypes to different environment. Meanwhile stability is the ability of a genotype to withstand stressful conditions and yet be able to produce yield. Thus, stability is an absolute and relative measure. Arabica coffee has location specific adaptation nature and that leads to highly significant instability in its breeding program. In the study of coffee bean yield stability cultivars tested at multi- locations within the domain of coffee growing ecologies of Ethiopia, showed a significant genotype x environment interaction. The review of previous research also indicated inconsistent effects of genotype x environment interaction on cup quality. Yield-stability analysis is very important in measuring cultivar stability and suitability for growing crops across seasons and agro-ecological region to identify stable genotype. The yield stability have been challenge to the plant breeders and biometricians, it complicates the selection of superior genotypes. It is important to minimize the usefulness of the genotype across environments for selecting. Since approach of plant breeding is to develop genotypes that are, optimum for the condition under which they will be grown breeders have to manage yield instability throughout formalized procedures of plant breeding. During stability measurement if the variance is found to be significant, various methods of measuring the stability of genotypes can be used to identify the stable genotype(s). Most of stability analysis parameters are briefly discussed in this review.
Giant infrared intensity of the Peierls mode at the neutral-ionic phase transition

description: We present exact diagonalization results on a modified Peierls-Hubbard model for the neutral-ionic phase transition. The ground state potential energy surface and the infrared intensity of the Peierls mode point to a strong, non-linear electron-phonon coupling, with effects that are dominated by the proximity to the electronic instability rather than by electronic correlations. The huge infrared intensity of the Peierls mode at the ferroelectric transition is related to the temperature dependence of the dielectric constant of mixed-stack organic crystals.

description: From optical photometry the cataclysmic variable RX J0944.5+0357 is shown to have a double-peaked pulse profile with a period of ~2160 s. The two peaks vary rapidly in relative amplitude. Often most of the optical power is concentrated in the first harmonic of the 2160s modulation: RX J0944.5+0357 therefore probably belongs to the relatively rare class of two-pole accreting intermediate polars exemplified by YY Dra and V405 Aur.

description: The global escalation of long-lasting illnesses, heightened mortality risks, and a surge in serious secondary systemic microbial infections pose a formidable challenge to public health, necessitating a comprehensive approach to mitigate the escalating healthcare costs. Antibiotic resistance, a pervasive concern worldwide, has evolved as a consequence of indiscriminate antibiotic use and the widespread prevalence of broad-spectrum antibiotics. The inadvertent elimination of nonpathogenic microbial populations, crucial for restraining pathogenic counterparts, contributes to the proliferation of antibiotic-resistant strains. Furthermore, the unwarranted use of commercial antimicrobial allopathic medicines has led to an alarming increase in multiple drug resistance, exacerbating the urgency to explore alternative therapeutic avenues. This issue is compounded by a rise in individuals with compromised immune responses, stemming from factors such as acquired immunodeficiency disease syndrome (AIDS), immunosuppressant drugs, cancer chemotherapeutic agents, and inadequate nutrition, particularly prevalent in developing countries like Uganda. Recognizing the inherent resistance mechanisms of plants against various pathogens, there is a growing emphasis on exploring plant-derived compounds as potential reservoirs for antimicrobial substances. Plants, equipped with a repertoire of defense mechanisms, offer a diverse array of compounds that have exhibited antimicrobial properties in previous studies. This includes compounds with the potential to combat a wide spectrum of microorganisms, thereby presenting an opportunity for the development of novel therapeutic agents. This study delves into the increasing global health challenges posed by long-lasting illnesses, escalating mortality risks, and antibiotic resistance. By examining the indiscriminate use of antibiotics, the proliferation of antibiotic-resistant strains, and the rise in multiple drug resistance, the research sheds light on the urgent need for alternative therapeutic strategies. The exploration of plant-derived antimicrobial compounds emerges as a promising avenue, offering potential solutions to combat the growing threat of microbial infections and the associated healthcare burdens
