description: To address the issue that Lagrangian dual function based algorithms cannot guarantee convergence and global optimality for decentralized multi-area security constrained unit commitment (M-SCUC) problems, a novel decomposition and coordination method using MILP (mixed integer linear programming) value functions is proposed in this paper. Each regional system operator sets the tie-line power injections as variational parameters in its regional SCUC model, and utilizes a finite algorithm to generate a MILP value function, which returns the optimal generation cost for any given interchange scheduling. With the value functions available from all system operators, theoretically, a coordinator is able to derive a globally optimal interchange scheduling. Since power exchanges may alter the financial position of each area considerably from what it would have been via scheduling independently, we then propose a fair savings allocation method using the values functions derived above and the Shapley value in cooperative game theory. Numerical experiments on a two-area 12-bus system and a three-area 457-bus system are carried out. The validness of the value functions based method is verified for the decentralized M-SCUC problems. The outcome of savings allocation is compared with that of the locational marginal cost based method.

description: We show how the elliptic Calogero-Moser integrable systems arise from a symplectic quotient construction, generalising the construction for A_{N-1} by Gorsky and Nekrasov to other algebras. This clarifies the role of (twisted) affine Kac-Moody algebras in elliptic Calogero-Moser systems and allows for a natural geometric construction of Lax operators for these systems. We elaborate on the connection of the associated Hamiltonians to superpotentials for N=1* deformations of N=4 supersymmetric gauge theory, and argue how non-perturbative physics generates the elliptic superpotentials. We also discuss the relevance of these systems and the associated quotient construction to open problems in string theory. In an appendix, we use the theory of orbit algebras to show the systematics behind the folding procedures for these integrable models.

description: Despite advances in localization and navigation, aerial robots inevitably remain susceptible to accidents and collisions. In this work, we propose a passive foldable airframe as a protective mechanism for a small aerial robot. A foldable quadrotor is designed and fabricated using the origami-inspired manufacturing paradigm. Upon an accidental mid-flight collision, the deformable airframe is mechanically activated. The rigid frame reconfigures its structure to protect the central part of the robot that houses sensitive components from a crash to the ground. The proposed robot is fabricated, modeled, and characterized. The 51-gram vehicle demonstrates the desired folding sequence in less than 0.15 s when colliding with a wall when flying.

description: We prepared polycrystalline samples of the A_xBO_2 type layered oxides Na_0.77MnO_2 and LiCoO_2, and measured thermal conductivity from 15 to 280 K. Na0.77MnO_2 shows a low thermal conductivity of 15 mW/cmK, while LiCoO_2 shows a much higher value of 40 mW/cmK at 280 K. By comparing them with the data of NaCo_2O_4, we have found that the low thermal conductivity of A_xBO_2 comes essentially from the A-ion deficiency, not from the layered structure itself.

description: This paper aims to analyze the effects of climate change on Brazilian agriculture considering irrigation adoption as an adaptation strategy. Investigation on how climatic variability influences irrigation adoption was performed as well as whether this adaptation measure actually reduces producers’ vulnerability to climate change. We used matching methods to analyze the choice of irrigation in the first stage and the land values for two types of farmer (irrigators or dryland) in the second stage. Temperature and precipitation projections for the 2010-2099 time period were used, considering different climate scenarios, according the 4th Assessment Report of IPCC (2007). Simulation results showed that irrigation can be a very effective tool to counteract the harmful effects of climate change. Land values for irrigated production are less vulnerable than those of rainfed production. Farmers’ income tends to grow on lands where irrigation techniques are practiced, while on those where agricultural production is exclusively rainfed, losses can sum to approximately 14% in relation to current period. These conclusions confirm the need to invest in adaptation strategies in order to make Brazil ready to cope with the adverse effects of global climate change.
A simple model for dynamical melting of moving vortex lattices interacting with periodic pinning

Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)

description: Melting of moving vortex lattices in clean superconducting films with periodic pinning is studied by a dynamical "cage" model, based on a mean-field treatment of Langevin's equations for the whole vortex lattice, assuming elastic flow. In the frame moving with the velocity of the vortex lattice center of mass, the model describes forced vibrations of a single vortex tied to a spring. The vortex displacements due to thermal fluctuations and to the periodic pinning force, and the relationship between the driving force and the vortex velocity (V-I curves) are obtained by a perturbation method, valid for high velocities and for both weak and strong periodic pinning. The dynamical melting temperature is calculated as a function of the vortex velocity using Lindemann's criterion. Application to a square defect lattice gives, for strong pinning, dynamical melting lines and anisotropic V-I curves that agree qualitatively with numerical results.

Economics of Information in Developing Country Agriculture: Evidence from South India

description: Public agricultural extension systems often fail due to inadequate consultation of farmers about their information needs and poor understanding of their information search strategies. In discussing and implementing extension programs and advisory services, the following questions need to be addressed: What information do the farmers need? How and where do they search for information? What factors determine their search behavior? How much are they willing to pay for their information? While the first two sets of questions are addressed fairly well in the literature, the latter two have not yet been attempted in the context of developing countries. Using a case study of two districts in South India, we examine farmer information needs and their information search behavior, factors affecting their search behavior, and their willingness to pay for information. Cluster analysis on access, frequency and use of information sources identified four farmer information search behaviors – high, medium, semi-medium and low. The groups differed significantly by post-high school studies, household economic status, cultivated land area, agricultural income, and membership to a farmer-based organization (FBO) and a Primary Agricultural Cooperative Bank (PACB). We use these four information search behaviors to examine differences in information needs, sources used and preferred sources. The important information needs related to rice included pest and disease management, pesticide and fertilizer application, seed variety, seed treatment. Rice production practices and credit information was more important for the low search group. Private input dealers and the state department of agricultural extension staff were the main information sources, though use of these two sources decreased with greater information searching. High and medium searchers used a greater number of sources, which also included print media and TV. The major constraints to information access, common to all search groups, were poor reliability and timeliness. The preferred medium of information was interpersonal contacts followed by information via mobile phones, where a helpline or voice messages was preferred over SMS. Through a contingent valuation technique it was found that farmers’ willingness to pay for voice-based mobile phone messages was low. The results show that the delivery of agricultural information, tailored to the different information search behaviors of farmers, is important to consider for extension programs.

Apparent morphological synapomorphies of this group include the bicolored iris and the absence of webbing between toes I and II (known instances of homoplasy within hylids occur in some Scinax and in various groups of Lophiohylini) and reduction of webbing between the other toes (Garcia et al., 2001).

  Bokermannohyla,  new genus
 TYPE SPECIES: Hyla circumdata Cope, ‘‘1870’’ [1871].
DIAGNOSIS: This genus is diagnosed by 65 transformations in nuclear and mitochondrial protein and ribosomal genes. See appendix 5 for a complete list of these molecular synapomorphies. We are not aware of any morphological synapomorphy.
 ETYMOLOGY: This genus is dedicated to Werner Carlos Augusto Bokermann (1929– 1995), as homage to his contribution to the knowledge of Brazilian anurans. He also described several species now included in the new genus. The name derives from Bokermann 1 connecting ­ o 1 Hyla. We are adopting the ending ­ hyla for several of the new genera described here, most of which contain species groups formerly placed in Hyla. The gender is feminine.
 COMMENTS: Bokermannohyla includes all species previously allocated in the Hyla circumdata, H. martinsi, and H. pseudopseudis groups. We include tentatively the H. claresignata group pending the inclusion of its species in the analysis, because it was associated to the H. circumdata group by Bokermann (1972) and Jim and Caramaschi (1979). Hyla alvarengai is also included because our analysis shows that Hyla sp. 9 (aff. H. alvarengai) is nested within this new genus. These species groups should be maintained within Bokermannohyla until their monophyly is rigorously tested.
CONTENTS: Twenty­three species, placed in four species groups.

description: A recently developed theory for eliminating decoherence and design constraints in quantum computers, ``encoded recoupling and decoupling'', is shown to be fully compatible with a promising proposal for an architecture enabling scalable ion-trap quantum computation [D. Kielpinski et al., Nature 417, 709 (2002)]. Logical qubits are encoded into pairs of ions. Logic gates are implemented using the Sorensen-Molmer (SM) scheme applied to pairs of ions at a time. The encoding offers continuous protection against collective dephasing. Decoupling pulses, that are also implemented using the SM scheme directly to the encoded qubits, are capable of further reducing various other sources of qubit decoherence, such as due to differential dephasing and due to decohered vibrational modes. The feasibility of using the relatively slow SM pulses in a decoupling scheme quenching the latter source of decoherence follows from the observed 1/f spectrum of the vibrational bath.

description: Alkali intercalated graphite compounds represent a compelling modification of carbon with significant application potential and various fundamentally important phases. We report on the intercalation of graphite with alkali atoms (Li and K) using liquid ammonia solution as mediating agent. Alkali atoms dissolve well in liquid ammonia which simplifies and speeds up the intercalation process, and it also avoids the high temperature formation of alkali carbides. Optical microscopy, Raman, and electron spin resonance spectroscopy attest that the prepared samples are highly and homogeneously intercalated to a level approaching Stage-I intercalation compounds. The method and the synthesis route may serve as a starting point for the various forms of alkali atom intercalated carbon compounds (including carbon nanotubes and graphene), which could be exploited in energy storage and further chemical modifications.

The groups differed significantly by post-high school studies, household economic status, cultivated land area, agricultural income, and membership to a farmer-based organization (FBO) and a Primary Agricultural Cooperative Bank (PACB). We use these four information search behaviors to examine differences in information needs, sources used and preferred sources. The important information needs related to rice included pest and disease management, pesticide and fertilizer application, seed variety, seed treatment. Rice production practices and credit information was more important for the low search group. Private input dealers and the state department of agricultural extension staff were the main information sources, though use of these two sources decreased with greater information searching. High and medium searchers used a greater number of sources, which also included print media and TV. The major constraints to information access, common to all search groups, were poor reliability and timeliness. The preferred medium of information was interpersonal contacts followed by information via mobile phones, where a helpline or voice messages was preferred over SMS. Through a contingent valuation technique it was found that farmers’ willingness to pay for voice-based mobile phone messages was low. The results show that the delivery of agricultural information, tailored to the different information search behaviors of farmers, is important to consider for extension programs.

description: This study estimates a stochastic production frontier to measure technical efficiency (TE) using farm-level survey data for a random sample of small-scale farmers in Central Chile. Socioeconomic and productive information was collected in season 2005/06 through a survey of 319 farmers in the Province of Linares. An important issue in the paper is the effect of adoption of soil and water conservation practices on productivity. The results reveal a positive relationship between the adoption of soil and water conservation and farm-level TE. The results also indicate that improvements in TE, when associated with conservation practices, not only lead to higher output and thus improvements in net returns, but also contribute to environmental sustainability. Moreover, the analysis reveals a positive relationship between TE and human capital variables such as education and agricultural extension.

description: This study analyses the impact of income inequality on agricultural production among sample of farm households in rural and urban areas of Ekiti-state, Nigeria. The study used primary and secondary data. Descriptive analysis, Gini coefficient and Regression analysis were used to analyzed the data. The results showed the socio-economic characteristics of farm households in both rural and urban areas. The results also indicated that income inequality is higher in urban than in the rural areas and that income level, farm size and household size are the factors that contribute to inequality in both rural and urban areas. The study however recommends that production technology should be improved, infrastructural facilities should be provided, access to credit and land should be made easier and that large family size should be discouraged to facilitate a more equitable distribution of income and increase agricultural production.
Coulomb Blockade Oscillations of Conductance at Finite Energy Level Spacing in a Quantum Dot

description: We find an analytical expression for the conductance of a single electron transistor in the regime when temperature, level spacing, and charging energy of a grain are all of the same order. We consider the model of equidistant energy levels in a grain in the sequential tunneling approximation. In the case of spinless electrons our theory describes transport through a dot in the quantum Hall regime. In the case of spin-1/2 electrons we analyze the line shape of a peak, shift in the position of the peak's maximum as a function of temperature, and the values of the conductance in the odd and even valleys.

description: We investigate the convergence theory of several known as well as new heuristic parameter choice rules for convex Tikhonov regularisation. The success of such methods is dependent on whether certain restrictions on the noise are satisfied. In the linear theory, such conditions are well understood and hold for typically irregular noise. In this paper, we extend the convergence analysis of heuristic rules using noise restrictions to the convex setting and prove convergence of the aforementioned methods therewith. The convergence theory is exemplified for the case of an ill-posed problem with a diagonal forward operator in $\ell^q$ spaces. Numerical examples also provide further insight.

description: We study the new binary intermetallic superconductor MgB2 using high-resolution photo-emission spectroscopy. The superconducting-state spectrum measured at 5.4 K shows a coherent peak with a shoulder structure, in sharp contrast to that expected from a simple isotropic-gap opening. The spectrum can be well reproduced using the weighted sum of two Dynes functions with the gap sizes of 1.7 and 5.6 meV. Temperature-dependent study shows that both gaps close at the bulk transition temperature. These results provide spectroscopic evidence for a multiple gap of MgB2.

G(2) Holonomy Spaces from Invariant Three-Forms
Creators: name: Brandhuber, Andreas
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We construct several new G(2) holonomy metrics that play an important role in recent studies of geometrical transitions in compactifications of M-theory to four dimensions. In type IIA string theory these metrics correspond to D6 branes wrapped on the three-cycle of the deformed conifold and the resolved conifold with two-form RR flux on the blown-up two-sphere, which are related by a conifold transition. We also study a G(2) metric that is related in type IIA to the line bundle over S^2 x S^2 with RR two-form flux. Our approach exploits systematically the definition of torsion-free G(2) structures in terms of three-forms which are closed and co-closed. Besides being an elegant formalism this turns out to be a practical tool to construct G(2) holonomy metrics.

description: We show that three fundamental information-theoretic constraints--the impossibility of superluminal information transfer between two physical systems by performing measurements on one of them, the impossibility of broadcasting the information contained in an unknown physical state, and the impossibility of unconditionally secure bit commitment--suffice to entail that the observables and state space of a physical theory are quantum-mechanical. We demonstrate the converse derivation in part, and consider the implications of alternative answers to a remaining open question about nonlocality and bit commitment.

description: One of the most important characteristics of a quantum graph is the average density of resonances, $ρ= \frac{\mathcal{L}}π$, where $\mathcal{L}$ denotes the length of the graph. This is a very robust measure. It does not depend on the number of vertices in a graph and holds also for most of the boundary conditions at the vertices. Graphs obeying this characteristic are called Weyl graphs. Using microwave networks which simulate quantum graphs we show that there exist graphs which do not adhere to this characteristic. Such graphs will be called non-Weyl graphs. For standard coupling conditions we demonstrate that the transition from a Weyl graph to a non-Weyl graph occurs if we introduce a balanced vertex. A vertex of a graph is called balanced if the numbers of infinite leads and internal edges meeting at a vertex are the same. Our experimental results confirm the theoretical predictions of [E. B. Davies and A. Pushnitski, Analysis and PDE 4, 729 (2011)] and are in excellent agreement with the numerical calculations yielding the resonances of the networks.
