When the PLBs grew to approximately 2-4 mm (A), their tip portions were cut horizontally (B) to expose their epidermal/surface cells (C) in order to form/propagate new PLBs and generate plantlets (D). Fig S3. GUS staining results for PLBs and root tips of NT and GA2ox6-OX transgenic lines. (A) GUS staining of tissues from NT and GA2ox6-OX lines are shown. (B) GUS staining of PLBs from NT and GA2ox6-OX lines are shown. (C) GUS staining of root tips from NT and GA2ox6-OX lines are shown. Fig S4. Southern blot analysis. Genomic DNA isolated from leaves of the NT line and three OsGA2ox6 transgenic lines (#1-1, #3-2 and #3-3) was cut with the restriction enzyme HindIII and probed with α P32-labeled GUS DNA fragment. Fig S5. Phenotypic comparisons of NT and GA2ox6-OX transgenic lines. Three plants each from the NT line and four GA2ox6-OX transgenic lines (#1-1, #3-2, #3-3, and #3-4) were compared. The growth stages of plants from line #1-1 are earlier than those of the NT line and the other 3 GA2ox6-OX lines. All GA2ox6-OX lines showed similar phenotypes, but their phenotypes differed from those of the NT line. The scale bar = 10 cm.

description: The study examines the economics of cropping pattern and farm income in relation to conjunctive use of water in Bijapur district (Karnataka). The analysis is based on the primary data collected from 296 farmers belonging to different size groups for the crop year 1985-86. The crop enterprises are evaluated by adopting the usual farm management cost concepts. The study reveals a shift in cropping pattern in favour of commercial crops and considerable improvement in cropping intensity with the advent of conjunctive use of water which in turn results in higher income levels on the lands with conjunctive use of water. The per hectare net income from lands with conjunctive use of water is found to be six times more than the level realised on lands without conjunctive use of water.

description: Omics data facilitate the gain of novel insights into the pathophysiology of diseases and, consequently, their diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. To this end, omics data are integrated with other data types, e.g., clinical, phenotypic, and demographic parameters of categorical or continuous nature. We exemplify this data integration issue for a chronic kidney disease (CKD) study, comprising complex clinical, demographic, and one-dimensional 1H nuclear magnetic resonance metabolic variables. Routine analysis screens for associations of single metabolic features with clinical parameters while accounting for confounders typically chosen by expert knowledge. This knowledge can be incomplete or unavailable. We introduce a framework for data integration that intrinsically adjusts for confounding variables. We give its mathematical and algorithmic foundation, provide a state-of-the-art implementation, and evaluate its performance by sanity checks and predictive performance assessment on independent test data. Particularly, we show that discovered associations remain significant after variable adjustment based on expert knowledge. In contrast, we illustrate that associations discovered in routine univariate screening approaches can be biased by incorrect or incomplete expert knowledge. Our data integration approach reveals important associations between CKD comorbidities and metabolites, including novel associations of the plasma metabolite trimethylamine-N-oxide with cardiac arrhythmia and infarction in CKD stage 3 patients.

description: Recently in Tunisia, vegetables prices increased rapidly, especially green pepper, tomato and potato. The sharp rise in prices led to the deterioration of consumer’s purchasing power and the depletion of their food basket. Since price is the mechanism linking the different stages of the production chain, information on price transmission and causality can provide guidance on the actions to be taken by the actors. The results of the price transmission show a long-term relationship between retail prices and producer prices. The important role played by intermediaries influences the symmetric transmission mode. In the case of tomatoes, the transmission is asymmetric and the causality has gone from retail to producer prices, whereas for potatoes the transmission is symmetrical and the causality of production prices towards the retail price. For green pepper the transmission is also symmetrical and the causality is from retail price to the production price. The transmission depends on the causality but it also depends on the supply of the market and if the product is storable or not. Actions to be undertaken by the actors must concentrate on the control and transparency of commercial transactions along the food chain. Prices regulation must be placed on the wholesale level and not on the level of the producers in order to clear the margin of intermediaries and avoid the shortage of certain products in markets.

description: Addressing the role of quantum coherence in the interplay between the different matter constituents (electrons, phonons and spin) is a critical step towards understanding transition metal oxides and design complex materials with new functionalities. Here we use coherent vibrational control of onsite d-d electronic transitions in a model edge-sharing insulating transition metal oxide (CuGeO3) to single-out the effects of vibrational coherence in electron-phonon coupling. By comparing time domain experiments based on high and low frequency ultrashort pumps with a fully quantum description of phonon assisted absorption, we could distinguish the processes associated to incoherent thermal lattice fluctuations from those driven by the coherent motion of the atoms. In particular, while thermal fluctuation of the phonon bath uniformly increases the electronic absorption, the resonant excitation of phonon modes results also in light-induced transparency which is coherently controlled by the vibrational motion.

description: The objective of this study is to construct an econometric commodity model in order to forecast the long term rice production performance of the state of Sabah, Malaysia. The baseline projection shows that the Sabah rice self-sufficiency is estimated to achieve approximately38% in the next 10 years due to the scarcity of the suitable land bank allocate for paddy cultivation. In order to achieve 60% of targeted rice self-sufficiency level (SSL), the size of land for paddy cultivation must be increased in Sabah. Based on the scenario simulation projection result, the expansion of paddy cultivation area will contribute a positively to the industrial rice production and consequently achieving the expected 60% of SSL by the end of 2024. In a nutshell, the state government of Sabah possess state autonomy on the land management, thus the state government plays a significant key role on promoting the local rice self-sufficiency level in the long-term period.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

Problems with the Current Cosmological Paradigm

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We note that the standard LCDM cosmological model continues to face fundamental problems. First, the model continues to depend wholly on two pieces of undiscovered physics, namely dark energy and cold dark matter. Then, the implied dark energy density is so small that it is unstable to quantum correction and its size is fine-tuned to the almost impossible level of one part in ~10^102; it is also difficult to explain the coincidence between the dark energy, dark matter and baryon densities at the present day. Moreover, any model with a positive cosmological constant also creates fundamental difficulties for superstring theories of quantum gravity. We also review the significant number of astrophysical observations which are now in contradiction with the LCDM model. On the grounds that the SNIa Hubble diagram is prone to evolutionary corrections and also that the CMB power spectrum may be contaminated by the effects of foreground ionised gas, we argue that the existence of such systematics could still allow more satisfactory, alternative, models to appear. We suggest that if H_0<50kms^-1Mpc^-1 then a simpler, inflationary model with Omega_baryon=1 might still be allowed with no need for dark energy or cold dark matter.

description: We argue that in theories of quantum gravity with discrete gauge symmetries, e.g. $\textbf{Z}_k$, the gauge couplings of U$(1)$ gauge symmetries become weak in the limit of large $k$, as $g\to k^{-α}$ with $α$ a positive order 1 coefficient. The conjecture is based on black hole arguments combined with the Weak Gravity Conjecture (or the BPS bound in the supersymmetric setup), and the species bound. We provide explicit examples based on type IIB on AdS$_5\times \textbf{S}^5/\textbf{Z}_k$ orbifolds, and M-theory on AdS$_4\times\textbf{S}^7/\textbf{Z}_k$ ABJM orbifolds (and their type IIA reductions). We study AdS$_4$ vacua of type IIA on CY orientifold compactifications, and show that the parametric scale separation in certain infinite families is controlled by a discrete $\textbf{Z}_k$ symmetry for domain walls. We accordingly propose a refined version of the strong AdS Distance Conjecture, including a parametric dependence on the order of the discrete symmetry for 3-forms.

description: 1. Scatopse guamensis, new species (fig. 1, a-e). Male and female: black, including antennae, halteres, and legs except the tarsi which are yellow. Dorsum of thorax and abdomen dull, almost velvety, pleura and venter more or less shiny. Antennae of the male about half again as long as the transverse diameter of the head, the terminal segment a half longer than wide, the others transverse. Antennae of the female a little longer, the terminal segment about twice as long as wide. Thorax with short, suberect pubescence. Hind basitarsus twice as long as the second segment. Abdomen depressed, widest just beyond the middle. Terminalia of the male usually retracted (extended in fig. 1, c), the claspers broadened apically, tapering toward the base (fig. 1, b), mesosome about as long as broad (fig. 1, d). Terminalia of the female (fig. 1, e) with a pair of prominent cerci, the last two sternites of characteristic shape; the anal segment somewhat extended in the figure. Spermatheca single, spherical, sclerotized. Wing (fig. 1, a) hyaline, anterior veins dark, posterior veins colorless, mi~rotrichia dense, coarse, and uniformly distributed. Venation as figured; the second cubital vein strongly curved as in the S. fuscipes group; second costal division a fourth shorter than the first. Length of body 1.5 mm.; of wing, measured from the humeral crossvein, 1.2 mm. Piti, July 21; Sumay, June 22, Swezey. Holotype and allotype in the Cornell University collection; paratypes in the collections of Cornell University and the Experiment Station, Hawaiian Sugar Planters' Association. This species differs from Scatopse fuscipes Meigen in having the first cubital vein extending to the wing margin and in the form of the median fork. S. fuscipes is the genotype of Enderlein's genus Rhaeboza, which is distinguished from Reichertella by the strongly curved second cubital vein. Scatopse, as interpreted here (following Edwards, 1925, and Duda, i 934), includes species both with and without the spur at the base of the anterior branch of the media, thus embracing both Scatopse sensu stricto and Reichertella. The character upon which Rhaeboza is based scarcely warrants generic rank. The nomenclature of wing venation followed here is that of Comstock and not of Edwards (Ann. Applied Biology 12:271, 1925).

Room-temperature ferromagnetism with a coercive field of 85 Oe was observed in samples with chromium contents as low as x = 0.027 (2.7%). With increasing Cr content the mean magnetic moment is strongly suppressed, with a maximum saturation moment of 0.62 and 0.71 $μ_B$ per Cr atom at 300 and 50 K respectively. We show that the Curie temperature of Al1-xCrxN for x = 0.027 is greater than 900 K.

description: This study analyses the effects of tariff escalation on Ghanaian cocoa exports in four importing markets: USA, EU, Japan and Malaysia. The study estimates nominal and effective protection coefficients in these markets based on ad-valorem equivalent of applied and bound specific tariffs. Results revealed that, effective protection exists in the Japanese and Malaysian cocoa industries at different stages of processing on both bound and applied tariffs. In contrast, the USA and the EU do not effectively protect their cocoa industries, thus, no tariff escalation on applied tariffs against cocoa imports from Ghana. This study concludes that from a static effect, higher tariffs do have a negative consequence on Ghanaian cocoa exports in these importing countries. From a dynamic perspective however, the relationship between tariff structures in these importing countries and Ghanaian cocoa exports is somewhat ambiguous and each situation has to be viewed on their own merit. A complete elimination of tariffs as a form of trade barrier on Ghanaian cocoa exports does not necessarily imply that Ghana could easily increase its exports of value added cocoa.

description: Although a merging galaxy cluster is a useful laboratory to study many important astrophysical processes and fundamental physics, only limited interpretations are possible without careful analysis of the merger scenario. However, the study is demanding because a thorough comparison of multi-wavelength observations with detailed numerical simulations is required. In this paper, we present such a study for the off-axis binary merger A115. The system possesses a number of remarkable observational features, but no convincing merger scenario, explaining the shape and location of the radio relic in harmony with the orientation of the cometary X-ray tails, has been presented. Our hydrodynamical simulation, with adaptive mesh refinement, suggests that the cometary X-ray tail of A115 might be a slingshot tail and can arise $\sim0.3$ Gyrs after the impact and before the two subclusters reach their apocenters. This scenario can predict the location and orientation of the giant radio relic, which is parallel to the northern X-ray tail. In addition, our study indicates that diffusive shock acceleration alone cannot generate the observed radio power unless aided by stronger magnetic fields and/or more significant presence of fossil electrons.

description: Implementation of Integrated Crop Management (ICM) on maize farming is expected to increase the production and household income. Household income was used for accessing food in order to achieve household food security. This study aimed to analyze the influence of the implementation of ICM on food security and to identify the socio-economic factors that affect the levels of food security among maize farmer households. The study was conducted in the maize production center in West Java Province, in Sukabumi and Garut Regencies. The stratified random sampling method was used to survey 300 households in 2015. Household food security was measured by cross-classification of the share of food expenditure and consumption of energy. The socio-economic factors that affected household food security levels were estimated using ordered logistic regression. The results showed that in aggregate the level of households maize farmers food security was insufficient. The analysis showed that factors influencing maize farmerhouseholds were family size, age of housewife, vegetable prices, income from maize farming, the technical efficiency of maize farming, and the dummy variable of the farmer.

Female: head and thorax black, subshining; antennae (fig. 1, g) blackish, pubescent, shorter than the head, nine-segmented, the apical segment a third longer than wide. Eyes broadly contiguous, lower ocellus nearly twice its diameter above the level of the upper margin of the eye; eyes with a short and delicate seta, less in length than the diameter of a facet, placed at.each facet angle, best seen in a slide mount. Palpi short, apparently one-segmented. Abdomen black, subshining, becoming more brownish posteriorly, pubescent. Wings clear hyaline, radial veins blackish, the other veins colorless; venation as figured (figure 1, f); subcosta and anal vein delicate, the others sharply defined; base and tip of the anterior branch of the media distinct, though somewhat weak; apex of anterior branch of cubitus obliterated. Microtrichia coarse, macrotrichia lacking in the 'costal cell and the basal part of the radial cell, elsewhere, including on the veins, sparsely but well distributed. Halteres dark. Legs more or less yellowish brown; strong; tibiae slender at base gradually broadening toward tip, in the hind leg three times as broad apically as at base. Basitarsi approximately twice as long as the following segment. Proportions of the hind leg segments in the ratio 40:40:18:10:8:5:8. Length 1.6 mm., of wing 1.07 mm., measured from the humeral crossvein, of the antenna 0.25 mm. Sumay, June 22, 1936, Swezey. Holotype in the Cornell University collection; paratype in the Experiment Station, Hawaiian Sugar Planters' Association. This species resembles P. niahensis Kieffer from the Seychelles, but differs slightly in wing venation, in having nine instead of 10 antennal segments, and a distinctly shorter terminal segment. Kieffer's statement as to the number of antennal segments in P. mahensis has been corrected by Enderlein (1912).

description: We have detected emission of molecular hydrogen from a classical T Tauri star, LkHalpha 264 in the v=1-0 S(1) line at 2.122 micron. The line velocity is coincident with the rest velocity of the star. The line profile is well reproduced by a model in which the line emanates from material in a Keplerian rotating circumstellar disk. Fluorescence by X-ray ionization and shock excitation due to accretion or a low-velocity wind are considered for the emission mechanism of molecular hydrogen.

description: This paper is an attempt to assess the impact of climate change on households’ food security in Burkina Faso using a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model in which we incorporate a random parameter that captures the effect of climate fluctuations on crop yields and on international food prices. The CGE model has been calibrated to reproduce past trends of Burkina Faso’s economy. The results of our simulations show that the impact of increased climatic shocks, due to climate change is felt more by rural poor who highly depend on agriculture. However, given the strong relationship between agriculture and the rest of the economy, low income households in urban areas are also affected. Conversely, the impact of climatic shocks is not as significant for urban non-poor given the level and source of revenue as well as the diversification of their consumption. The results also illustrate the complexity of the mechanisms at work in the explanation of a food crisis occurrence.

description: We consider a two dimensional itinerant antiferromagnet near a quantum critical point. We show that, contrary to conventional wisdom, fermionic excitations in the ordered state are not the usual Fermi liquid quasiparticles. Instead, down to very low frequencies, the fermionic self energy varies as $ω^{2/3}$. This non-Fermi liquid behavior originates in the coupling of fermions to the longitudinal spin susceptibility $χ_{\parallel}(q, Ω)$ in which the order-induced ``gap'' in the spectrum at $q=0$ dissolves into the Landau damping term at $v_F q >Ω$. The transverse spin fluctuations obey $z=1$ scaling characteristic of spin waves, but remain overdamped in a finite range near the critical point.

description: The Hayward metric is a spherically symmetric charged regular black holes, a modification of the Reisnner-Nordstr$\ddot{o}$m black holes of Einstein's equations coupled to nonlinear electrodynamics. We consider Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity (EGB) coupled to nonlinear electrodynamics to present an exact five dimension ($5D$) Hayward black holes with a regular center, having inner (Cauchy) and outer (event) horizons which go over to Boulware-Desser black holes when the charge is switched off ($e=0$). The presence of charge $e$ leads the modification in thermodynamical quantities, and it has also been shown that the Hawking-Page like phase transition can be achieved. The specific heat shows divergence at the horizon radius $r=r_C$ (critical radius), where the temperature has a maximum. Our result in the limit, $e\to0$, reduces vis-a-vis to the $5D$ Boulware-Desser solutions.

description: Enhancing the efficiency of vegetable farms is crucial to increase the vegetable outputs for meeting the demand for growing population. This study evaluated the technical efficiency and explored factors determining the efficiencies of smallholder vegetable farms in diversified agro-ecological regions using Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) with cross-section data collected in 2013. The results revealed that average technical efficiency was found to be 0.77 and the variance parameters were highly significant indicating that the inefficiency existed in vegetable farms. The inefficiency gap could improve by operating the farms at the frontier level. The input variables consisting of land, labor, animal power, fertilizer, compost, pesticide, and capital were proved to be the important factors in determining the level of outputs. Meanwhile, the major sources of the inefficiencies identified were: age of farmer, training to the farmers, and infrastructure development. The efficiency in vegetable production can be improved by allocating input resources at the optimum levels, encouraging younger farmers in vegetable production, increasing training and extension activities, enhancing market access to the farmers, and developing infrastructures with regard to vegetable production.

description: Dark Matter (DM) and Dark Energy (DE) can be both described in terms of ultra-light Pseudo-Goldstone-Bosons (PGB) with masses m_{DM} ~ 10^{-23}eV and m_{DE} <= 10^{-33}eV respectively. Following Barbieri et al, we entertain the possibility that a PGB exists with mass m_I intermediate between these two limits, giving a partial contribution to DM. We evaluate the related effects on the power spectrum of the matter density perturbations and on the cosmic microwave background and we derive the bounds on the density fraction, f_I, of this intermediate field from current data, with room for a better sensitivity on f_I in the near future. We also give a simple and unified analytic description of the free streaming effects both for an ultra-light scalar and for a massive neutrino.

description: Convective boundary mixing (CBM) is ubiquitous in stellar evolution. It is a necessary ingredient in the models in order to match observational constraints from clusters, binaries and single stars alike. We compute `effective overshoot' measures that reflect the extent of mixing and which can differ significantly from the input overshoot values set in the stellar evolution codes. We use constraints from pressure modes to infer the CBM properties of Kepler and CoRoT main-sequence and subgiant oscillators, as well as in two radial velocity targets (Procyon A and $α$ Cen A). Collectively these targets allow us to identify how measurement precision, stellar spectral type, and overshoot implementation impact the asteroseismic solution. With these new measures we find that the `effective overshoot' for most stars is in line with physical expectations and calibrations from binaries and clusters. However, two F-stars in the CoRoT field (HD 49933 and HD 181906) still necessitate high overshoot in the models. Due to short mode lifetimes, mode identification can be difficult in these stars. We demonstrate that an incongruence between the radial and non-radial modes drives the asteroseismic solution to extreme structures with highly-efficient CBM as an inevitable outcome. Understanding the cause of seemingly anomalous physics for such stars is vital for inferring accurate stellar parameters from TESS data with comparable timeseries length.

description: The discovery of magnetic protein provides a new understanding of a biocompass at the molecular level. However, the mechanism by which magnetic protein enables a biocompass is still under debate, mainly because of the absence of permanent magnetism in the magnetic protein at room temperature. Here, based on a widely accepted radical pair model of a biocompass, we propose a microscopic mechanism that allows the biocompass to operate without a finite magnetization of the magnetic protein in a biological environment. With the structure of the magnetic protein, we show that the magnetic fluctuation, rather than the permanent magnetism, of the magnetic protein can enable geomagnetic field sensing. An analysis of the quantum dynamics of our microscopic model reveals the necessary conditions for optimal sensitivity. Our work clarifies the mechanism by which magnetic protein enables a biocompass.

Conditions for a Successful Right-Handed Majorana Sneutrino Curvaton
Creators: name: McDonald, John
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We consider the conditions which must be satisfied for a Majorana RH sneutrino, a massive right-handed (RH) sneutrino associated with the see-saw mechanism of Majorana neutrino masses, to play the role of the curvaton. Planck-scale suppressed non-renormalizable terms in the RH neutrino superpotential must be eliminated to a high order if the RH sneutrino curvaton is to dominate the energy density before it decays, which can be achieved via an R-symmetry which is broken to R-parity by the Giudice-Maseiro mechanism. In order to satisfy the thermalization constraint, one RH neutrino mass eigenstate must have small Yukawa couplings to the Higgs and lepton doublets, corresponding to a lightest neutrino mass m_{nu_{1}} < 10^{-3} eV. A time-dependent lepton asymmetry will be induced in the RH sneutrino condensate by the Affleck-Dine mechanism driven by SUSY breaking B-terms associated with the RH neutrino masses. Requiring that the resulting baryon asymmetry and isocurvature perturbations are acceptably small imposes an upper bound on the RH neutrino mass. We show that a scenario consistent with all constraints is obtained for a RH neutrino mass in the range 10^{2} - 10^{4} GeV when the RH sneutrino decay temperature is greater than 100 GeV and lightest neutrino mass m_{nu_{1}} approx 10^{-3} GeV. Larger RH neutrino masses are possible for smaller m_{nu_{1}}. The resulting scenario is generally consistent with a solution of the cosmic string problem of D-term inflation.
