description: The probability of success for an immigrating Dutch dairy farmer was analyzed using a whole farm simulation model. Data used to simulate the U.S. farms came from the AFPC's database of representative U.S. dairies and projected mean annual prices from FAPRI. Data on the Dutch dairy used for analysis came from Department of Agriculture, Nature, and Food Safety, the Agricultural Economics Institute, and research from Wageningen University in the Netherlands. Results indicate that Dutch dairy farmers with adequate equity are better off financially immigrating to the U.S., rather than staying in the Netherlands.

description: Background:

Significant skin lesions with substantial tissue loss require flap coverage to fully restore the tissue defect. Several factors must be evaluated to select the appropriate flap, including the defect size, functionality of the involved body part, patient comorbidities, surrounding structures, etiology of the tissue defect, vascularization type, donor site condition, recipient site condition, and the required type of tissue mobilization. This article will review the most recent information on flaps, offering an initial assessment tool for decision-making during tissue defect closure. Additionally, it provides an overview about Mexico’s epidemiology, highlighting the most frequent indications for flap use.

description: We present the calculation of $K\toππ$ matrix elements of electroweak penguin operators {\it i.e.} $Q_7$ and $Q_8$. In the numerical simulation, we use the gauge configurations generated by the combination of $N_f=2$ domain-wall fermions and DBW2 gauge action. From $K\toπ$ and $K\to 0$ matrix elements on the lattice, we construct $K\toππ$ matrix elements at next-to-leading order in the chiral expansion by using recent analytic results. Renormalization factor of these matrix elements are obtained by the non-perturbative renormalization technique in RI/MOM scheme. Brief discussion based on our results are made as well as a comparison with previous works.

Physically motivated heat conduction treatment in simulations of solar-like stars: effects on dynamo transitions

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Context. Results from global magnetoconvection simulations of solar-like stars are at odds with observations in many respects: They show a surplus of energy in the kinetic power spectrum at large scales, anti-solar differential rotation profiles, with accelerated poles and a slow equator, for the solar rotation rate, and a transition from axi- to non-axisymmetric dynamos at a much lower rotation rate than what is observed. Even though the simulations reproduce the observed active longitudes in fast rotators, their motion in the rotational frame (the so-called azimuthal dynamo wave, ADW) is retrograde, in contrast to the prevalent prograde motion in observations. Aims. We study the effect of a more realistic treatment of heat conductivity in alleviating the discrepancies between observations and simulations. Methods. We use physically-motivated heat conduction, by applying Kramers opacity law, on a semi-global spherical setup describing convective envelopes of solar-like stars, instead of a prescribed heat conduction profile from mixing-length arguments. Results. We find that some aspects of the results now better correspond to observations: The axi- to non-axisymmetric transition point is shifted towards higher rotation rates. We also find a change in the propagation direction of ADWs so that also prograde waves are now found. The transition from anti-solar to solar-like rotation profile, however, is also shifted towards higher rotation rates, leaving the models into an even more unrealistic regime. Conclusions. Although a Kramers-based heat conduction does not help in reproducing the solar rotation profile, it does help in the faster rotation regime, where the dynamo solutions now match better with observations.

description: In a simple reanalysis of the KKLMMT scenario, we argue that the slow roll condition in the D3-anti-D3-brane inflationary scenario in superstring theory requires no more than a moderate tuning. The cosmic string tension is very sensitive to the conformal coupling: with less fine-tuning, the cosmic string tension (as well as the ratio of tensor to scalar perturbation mode) increases rapidly and can easily saturate the present observational bound. In a multi-throat brane inflationary scenario, this feature substantially improves the chance of detecting and measuring the properties of the cosmic strings as a window to the superstring theory and our pre-inflationary universe.

description: This paper presents the results of experimental auctions of a genetically modified (GM) food that were conducted in Japan. A series of experimental auctions were conducted to elicit consumers' willingness to pay (WTP) for the selected non-genetically modified (non-GM) food along with WTP for its GM counterpart. The paper provides mean bidding prices for the non-GM and GM food products and analyzes the relationship between bidding prices and consumers' attitudinal and demographic variables. It also elicit hypothetical willingness to pay a premium for the non-GM product. Whereas auction experiments yield a premium of 30-40% of base price, a comparable hypothetical premium is nearly 90-100% of base price, which provides evidence of large hypothetical bias. Although it is impossible to claim that the experimental subjects are representative of the regional population, let alone the Japanese population, both qualitative and quantitative information gathered from the study is useful for anyone involved in the distribution of GM foods.

A family of criteria for irrationality of Euler's constant

Publisher: name: arXiv

description: Following earlier results of Sondow, we propose another criterion of irrationality for Euler's constant $γ$. It involves similar linear combinations of logarithm numbers $L\_{n,m}$. To prove that $γ$ is irrational, it suffices to prove that, for some fixed $m$, the distance of $d\_n L\_{n,m}$ ($d\_n$ is the least common multiple of the $n$ first integers) to the set of integers $\mathbf{Z}$ does not converge to 0. A similar result is obtained by replacing logarithms numbers by rational numbers: it gives a sufficient condition involving only rational numbers. Unfortunately, the chaotic behavior of $d\_n$ is an obstacle to verify this sufficient condition. All the proofs use in a large manner the theory of Padé approximation.

description: One of the challenges in estimating economic impacts of recreational activity and natural resource use is collecting survey data when the underlying population is not perfectly known. We combine bootstrapping techniques with input output analysis to estimate impacts from recreational activity at a barrier island in Louisiana. Per capita expenditure point estimates are bootstrapped and the 1,000 bootstrapped samples are shocked into an input output model to develop confidence intervals of economic impacts between the two surveys. Results show that for many sectors of the economy, confidence intervals do not overlap between survey modes. These results suggest that researchers using multiple survey modes should think carefully about how both the mode and potential underlying differences in population may affect economic impact results.
Quantum entanglement in states generated by bilocal group algebras

description: Given a finite group G with a bilocal representation, we investigate the bipartite entanglement in the state constructed from the group algebra of G acting on a separable reference state. We find an upper bound for the von Neumann entropy for a bipartition (A,B) of a quantum system and conditions to saturate it. We show that these states can be interpreted as ground states of generic Hamiltonians or as the physical states in a quantum gauge theory and that under specific conditions their geometric entropy satisfies the entropic area law. If G is a group of spin flips acting on a set of qubits, these states are locally equivalent to 2-colorable (i.e., bipartite) graph states and they include GHZ, cluster states etc. Examples include an application to qudits and a calculation of the n-tangle for 2-colorable graph states.

description: The study evaluated the influence of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)'s regulatory action regarding the health benefits of soy-based foods on soy consumption. The results indicated that frequent users of soyfood products who were exposed to the FDA's decision would be more inclined to increase their consumption of soy-based foods as compared to those who were not exposed to such information. Yet the information about FDA's decision did not influence the behavioral intentions of infrequent-or non-consumers. In addition, effects of perceived attributes of soyfoods on the consumption pattern for soy-based food products were evaluated. Perceived attributes included convenience, health benefits, and taste. This study used conceptual model that highlights the role of perceived attributes in a demand model by combining Lancaster's characteristics model with Fishbein's multi-attribute model. Zero-inflated negative binomial model (ZINB) was used as an empirical specification to address the zero consumption of soyfood products. Results show convenience of preparation and consumption, and tastefulness had strong impacts on the consumption of soy-based food products.

description: Real-world robotics systems deal with data from a multitude of modalities, especially for tasks such as navigation and recognition. The performance of those systems can drastically degrade when one or more modalities become inaccessible, due to factors such as sensors' malfunctions or adverse environments. Here, we argue modality hallucination as one effective way to ensure consistent modality availability and thereby reduce unfavorable consequences. While hallucinating data from a modality with richer information, e.g., RGB to depth, has been researched extensively, we investigate the more challenging low-to-high modality hallucination with interesting use cases in robotics and autonomous systems. We present a novel hallucination architecture that aggregates information from multiple fields of view of the local neighborhood to recover the lost information from the extant modality. The process is implemented by capturing a non-linear mapping between the data modalities and the learned mapping is used to aid the extant modality to mitigate the risk posed to the system in the adverse scenarios which involve modality loss. We also conduct extensive classification and segmentation experiments on UWRGBD and NYUD datasets and demonstrate that hallucination allays the negative effects of the modality loss.

description: This study explores the relationships between the accrual and cash flow components of earnings for agribusiness. Three accrual models with their respective cash flows, free cash flows, and free cash flows to equity are analyzed. Results for the agribusiness industry are compared with results from previous studies of all firms. Earnings Before Interests, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA), a measure frequently recommended as a proxy for cash flow is tested using these models. Empirical results show that both the magnitude and the behavior of EBITDA differ from cash flows and should not be used as a proxy.

description: The mid to late 1990s saw a series of negative media events in the United Kingdom (UK) related to biotechnology. According to the trust asymmetry hypothesis, such events ought to cause public trust in risk managers of biotechnology to fall quickly but rise slowly. We present evidence from the Eurobarometer surveys that from 1996 to 1999 public trust in the UK declined, but it increased sharply between 1999 and 2002. We seek to explain this apparent contradiction to the asymmetry hypothesis. We use canonical discriminant analysis of public trust to show that whether people trust or distrust risk managers of biotechnology depends significantly on the amount of knowledge people have about science. We speculate that knowledge of science moderates the trust asymmetry effect.

description: The dependence of atmospheric conditions on altitude and time have to be known at the site of an air shower experiment for accurate reconstruction of extensive air showers and their simulations. The height-profile of atmospheric depth is of particular interest as it enters directly into the reconstruction of longitudinal shower development and of the primary energy and mass of cosmic rays. For the southern part of the Auger Observatory, the atmosphere has been investigated in a number of campaigns with meteorological radio soundings and with continuous measurements of ground-based weather stations. Focussing on atmospheric depth and temperature profiles, temporal variations are described and monthly profiles are developed. Uncertainties of the monthly atmospheres that are currently applied in the Auger reconstruction are discussed.

description: Generating irreducible site-occupancy configurations by taking advantage of crystal symmetry is a ubiquitous method for accelerating of disordered structure prediction, which plays an important role in condensed matter physics and material science. Here, we present a new algorithm for generating irreducible site-occupancy configurations, that works for arbitrary parent cell with any supercell expansion matrix, and for any number of atom types with arbitrary stoichiometry. The new algorithm identifies the symmetrically equivalent configurations by searching the space group operations of underlying lattice and building the equivalent atomic matrix based on it. Importantly, an integer representation of configurations can greatly accelerate the speed of elimination of duplicate configurations, resulting into a linear scale of run time with the number of irreducible configurations that finally found. Moreover, based on our new algorithm, we write the corresponding code named as disorder in FORTRAN programming language, and the performance test results show that the time efficiency of our disorder code is superior to that of other related codes (supercell, enumlib and SOD).

description: The value of forests to poor communities within or around the forest has been garnering increasingly more attention. A recent study partially commissioned by the World Bank reveals that in some 54 case studies evaluated, forest income averaged 22% of total income. The income generated from forest use by these communities serves many roles, including as a primary income source, a secondary income source, and as a safety net to alleviate production shocks to other income-generating activities. From a policy perspective, especially in terms of poverty alleviation and forest management, an understanding of the degree and manner by which poor forest communities depend and draw upon potentially scarce forest resources may be useful. Furthermore, identification of factors that influence the degree and manner of forest dependence would likely help policymakers develop more effective forest conservation strategies and poverty reduction policies. This research intends to identify the degree and manner by which forest-fringe communities rely on the forest and investigate factors that might give rise to such reliance. In particular, factors such as agricultural land quality, market integration, and socioeconomic and demographic variables will be tested for their influence on both the magnitude and type of forest reliance. Our study focuses on a group of rural aboriginal communities, the Jah Hut, whose villages are contiguous with the Krau Forest Reserve in Pahang, Malaysia. Data were collected through a household income and soil survey in March 2003.

description: The traditional view of cities as monocentric conglomerates of people clustered around an employment center, driving economic growth in cities that subsequently trickles down to the hinterland, is increasingly being challenged. In particular, the role of space, technological leadership, human capital, increasing returns to scale and industrial clustering as well as hierarchical organization principles have been emphasized in the more recent literature. This paper utilizes exploratory and spatial econometric data analysis techniques to investigate these issues for US counties using data from 1969 through 2003. Ultimately, contiguous and hierarchical organization and interaction patterns are captured using an endogenous growth model allowing for spatial effects, inspired by earlier work on human capital and technology gaps. We investigate a neoclassical growth model and compare it to a spatial version of an endogenous growth model allowing for "domestic" investment in human capital and catch-up to the technology leader, and find that human capital strongly contributes to growth in a neoclassical setting, but much less so in an endogenous setting. In the endogenous model the catch-up term dominates in comparison to "domestic" human capital effects.

Numerically solving the two coupled Gross-Pitaevskii equations which accurately describe the system dynamics, we demonstrate that the spin transport can be controlled by suitably quenching spin-orbit (SO) and Rabi coupling strengths. Moreover, we predict a variety of dynamical features induced by quenching: broken oscillations, breathers-like oscillating patterns, spin-mixing-demixing, miscible-immiscible transition, emerging dark-bright states, dark solitons, and spin-trapping dynamics. We also outline the experimental relevance of the present study in manipulating the spin states in $^{39}$K condensates.

Finally the device, and any reasonable modification of it, would be so massive as to be within its own Schwarzschild radius--a fatal flaw for any thought experiment.

description: In the framework of algebraic quantum field theory we analyze the anomalous statistics exhibited by a class of automorphisms of the observable algebra of the two-dimensional free massive Dirac field, constructed by fermionic gauge group methods. The violation of Haag duality, the topological peculiarity of a two-dimensional space-time and the fact that unitary implementers do not lie in the global field algebra account for strange behaviour of statistics, which is no longer an intrinsic property of sectors. Since automorphisms are not inner, we exploit asymptotic abelianness of intertwiners in order to construct a braiding for a suitable $C^*$-tensor subcategory of End($\mathscr{A}$). We define two inequivalent classes of path connected bi-asymptopias, selecting only those sets of nets which yield a true generalized statistics operator.

description: Enceladus is believed to have a saltwater global ocean with a mean depth of at least 30~km, heated from below at the ocean-core interface and cooled at the top, where the ocean loses heat to the icy lithosphere above. This scenario suggests an important role for vertical convection to influence the interior properties and circulation of Enceladus' ocean. Additionally, the ice shell that encompasses the ocean has dramatic meridional thickness variations that, in steady state, must be sustained against processes acting to remove these ice thickness anomalies. One mechanism that would maintain variations in the ice shell thickness involves spatially-separated regions of freezing and melting at the ocean-ice interface. Here, we use an idealized, dynamical ocean model forced by an observationally-guided density forcing at the ocean-ice interface to argue that Enceladus' interior ocean should support a meridional overturning circulation. This circulation establishes an interior density structure that is more complex than in studies that have focused only on convection, including a shallow freshwater lens in the polar regions. Spatially-separated sites of ice formation and melt enable Enceladus to sustain a significant vertical and horizontal stratification, which impacts interior heat transport, and is critical for understanding the relationship between a global ocean and the planetary energy budget. The presence of low salinity layers near the polar ocean-ice interface also influences whether samples measured from the plumes are representative of the global ocean.

description: Given the existing empirical information about the exotic Theta+ baryon, we analyze possible properties of its SU(3)F-partners, paying special attention to the nonstrange member of the antidecuplet N*. The modified piN partial-wave analysis presents two candidate masses, 1680 MeV and 1730 MeV. In both cases, the N* should be rather narrow and highly inelastic. Our results suggest several directions for experimental studies that may clarify properties of the antidecuplet baryons, and structure of their mixing with other baryons. Recent experimental evidence from the GRAAL and STAR Collaborations could be interpreted as observations of a candidate for the Theta+ nonstrange partner.

description: We use the formulation of equilibrium statistical mechanics in order to study some important characteristics of language. Using a simple expression for the Hamiltonian of a language system, which is directly implied by the Zipf law, we are able to explain several characteristic features of human language that seem completely unrelated, such as the universality of the Zipf exponent, the vocabulary size of children, the reduced communication abilities of people suffering from schizophrenia, etc. While several explanations are necessarily only qualitative at this stage, we have, nevertheless, been able to derive a formula for the vocabulary size of children as a function of age, which agrees rather well with experimental data.

description: We examine the role of investment opportunities on the marginal cost of a backstop technology and the resulting implications for optimal depletion of a non-renewable resource. We consider the case in which two economic agents (individuals, cities, or nations) compete for a non-renewable resource, and investments in research and development will reduce the marginal cost of a backstop technology. We examine the problem in both social optimization and game theory frameworks. We consider three scenarios: 1) The social planner's problem in which the sum of net benefits earned by the two agents (players) is maximized, 2) A scenario in which two players compete for the limited resource, while making investments jointly, and 3) A scenario in which the players compete for the resource and they choose investment levels independently. We examine, in particular, the case of groundwater withdrawals from an aquifer with a very small rate of natural recharge. The backstop technology is desalination. Results describe the optimal paths of investments in knowledge, as the original stock of groundwater is depleted. Groundwater is extracted over a longer interval, and the sum of investments in knowledge is smallest, in the social planner's scenario.

description: Conversational and task-oriented dialogue systems aim to interact with the user using natural responses through multi-modal interfaces, such as text or speech. These desired responses are in the form of full-length natural answers generated over facts retrieved from a knowledge source. While the task of generating natural answers to questions from an answer span has been widely studied, there has been little research on natural sentence generation over spoken content. We propose a novel system to generate full length natural language answers from spoken questions and factoid answers. The spoken sequence is compactly represented as a confusion network extracted from a pre-trained Automatic Speech Recognizer. This is the first attempt towards generating full-length natural answers from a graph input(confusion network) to the best of our knowledge. We release a large-scale dataset of 259,788 samples of spoken questions, their factoid answers and corresponding full-length textual answers. Following our proposed approach, we achieve comparable performance with best ASR hypothesis.

description: We point out a connection between Gabor analysis and noncommutative analysis. Especially, the strong Morita equivalence of noncommutative tori appears as underlying setting for Gabor analysis, since the construction of equivalence bimodules for noncommutative tori has a natural formulation in the notions of Gabor analysis. As an application we show that Feichtinger's algebra is such an equivalence bimodule. Furthermore, we present Connes's construction of projective modules for noncommutative tori and the relevance of a generalization of Wiener's lemma for twisted convolution by Gröchenig and Leinert. Finally we indicate an approach to the biorthogonality relation of Wexler-Raz on the existence of dual atoms of a Gabor frame operator based on results about Morita equivalence.

description: This study analyzes consumers' responses to food-safety related information by evaluating if Japanese consumers have undergone a structural change in their preferences for meat due to the BSE outbreak in the country. The axiom of revealed preference is utilized to test the stability of preference in Japanese meat consumption. The matrix of weak form of revealed preference (WARP) is partitioned and Kruskal-Wallis statistics are derived to evaluate whether the switches of preference are transitory or due to a structural change. Empirical results show that Japanese meat demand has undergone a structural change, synchronized with the BSE outbreak in Japan in mid-September 2001.

description: The goal of this paper is to analyze vertical contracts between manufacturers and retailers in a channel including the upstream input market. Using a Nash bargaining framework, we study the contract negotiations between manufacturers and the common retailer, both in a simultaneous and sequential game. The oligopsonistic behavior of manufacturers on the upstream market provides a new explanation for predatory accommodation. With two-parts tariff, we show that joint profit of the industry is not maximised at simultaneous bilateral bargaining equilibria and that below marginal cost pricing in the intermediate goods market arises, when final products are substitutes, and may be welfare improving. When negotiations occurs sequentially, we show, in the two-manufacturers case, that the first manufacturer which enters into negotiations and the retailer may jointly prefer above marginal cost pricing or not, depending on the distribution of bargaining power in the channel. However, the second manufacturer equilibrium wholesale price is set below marginal cost.

description: The pulp and paper industry, which forms the backbone of paper product consumption, is currently facing a significant challenge due to the dwindling supply of paper fiber raw materials. This situation requires the exploration of alternative plant materials that can complement existing fiber sources. In response to this need, we have cultivated a fast-growing plant, Golden Bamboo Grass (GBG), for use in the pulping process. In our study, GBG was introduced as a novel material for pulping. We prepared both unbleached and bleached pulp using a cyclic-cooking method. Subsequent investigations into the increased yield of pulp were conducted using analytical techniques such as ATR, XPS, and SEM. We then proceeded to manufacture paper from the unbleached and bleached pulps and evaluated their physical properties. The results from our experiments were promising, indicating an average yield of 48.64% from cyclic-cooking, an increase of 4.12% over the traditional caustic soda method. Furthermore, the physical properties of paper produced from the cyclic-cooked pulp were found to be comparable to those made using the caustic soda method. In addition, the circulating cooking process shows significant environmental advantages by minimizing the discharge of black liquor, a by-product of the pulping process. This advantage makes cyclic cooking an environmentally friendly and efficient method for pulp and paper production.
