description: The results of an optical search for supernova remnants (SNRs) in the nearby irregular galaxy NGC 2366 are presented. We took interference filter images and collected spectral data in three epochs with the f/7.7 1.5 m Russian Turkish Telescope (RTT150) at TÜBİTAK National Observatory (TUG) located in Antalya, Turkey. The continuum-subtracted H$α$ and continuum-subtracted [SII]$λλ$6716, 6731 images and their ratios were used for the identification of SNRs. With [SII]/H$α$ $\geq$ 0.4 criteria, four possible SNR candidates were identified in NGC 2366 with [SII]/H$α$ ratios of $\sim$(0.68, 0.57, 0.55 and 0.75), H$α$ intensities of $\sim$(2.10, 0.36, 0.14, 0.11)$\times 10^{-15}$ erg cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$ [SII]$λ$6716/$λ$6731 average flux ratios of $\sim$(1.01 and 1.04), electron densities of $N_{\rm e}$ $\sim$(582 and 513) cm$^{-3}$ and [OIII] $λ$5007/H$β$ $λ$4861 $\sim$(3.6 and 2.6) line ratio values are obtained for two of the SNR candidates. A shock velocity $V_{\rm s}$ of 80 $\leq$ $V_{\rm s}$ $\leq$ 100 km s$^{-1}$ is reported. The spectral parameters are obtained for the first time for these possible SNR candidates. The locations of the four SNRs obtained here are found to be consistent with optical and radio results reported so far. One of the sources categorised earlier by XMM-Newton observations as an extended X-ray source position is found to be consistent with one of four possible SNR candidates reported here.

description: On the basis of expounding the status quo of China’s orange drought warning model research, according to the real-time monitoring data of Beibei Orangery in Chongqing City from June to August in 2010, by using factor analysis and principal component regression, we construct the drought warning model of Beibei Orangery in Chongqing City, and we conduct test and correction on drought warning model by using MAPE principle of assessment and prediction accuracy and the real-time monitoring data of September. The results show that as for the prediction of orange drought, the model has strong credibility. If we conduct continuous dynamic monitoring on the relevant indices regarding orange drought by virtue of this model, and pay attention to the analysis of variation trend of prediction value, then it will be more practical; the warning effect, to some extent, further indicates that using factor analysis and principal component analysis method to conduct drought warning is rational; as the prediction model is static and linear, so we should perfect model to promote the accuracy and practicality of model.

description: A method is presented to construct initial data for Einstein's equations as a superposition of a gravitational wave perturbation on an arbitrary stationary background spacetime. The method combines the conformal thin sandwich formalism with linear gravitational waves, and allows detailed control over characteristics of the superposed gravitational wave like shape, location and propagation direction. It is furthermore fully covariant with respect to spatial coordinate changes and allows for very large amplitude of the gravitational wave.

A natural interpretation on the data of $Λ_c\toΣπ$

Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Even though the Standard Model (SM) has achieved great success, its application to the field of low energies still lacks solid foundation due to our limited knowledge on non-perturbative QCD. Practically, all theoretical calculations of the hadronic transition matrix elements are based various phenomenological models. There indeed exist some anomalies in the field which are waiting for interpretations. The goal of this work is trying to solve one of the anomalies: the discrepancy between the theoretical prediction on the sign of the up-down asymmetry parameter of $Λ_c\toΣπ$ and the experimental measurement. In the literatures several authors calculated the rate and determined the asymmetry parameter within various schemes, but there exist obvious loopholes in those adopted scenarios. To solve the discrepancy between theory and data, we suggest that not only the direct transition process contributes to the observed $Λ_c\toΣπ$, but also other portals such as $Λ_c\to Λρ$ also play a substantial role via an isospin-conserving re-scattering $Λρ\toΣπ$. Taking into account of the effects induced by the final state interaction, we re-evaluate the relevant quantities. Our numerical results indicate that the new theoretical prediction based on this scenario involving an interference between the direct transition of $Λ_c\toΣπ$ and the portal $Λ_c\toΛρ\toΣπ$ can make both the decay rate and sign of the asymmetry parameter to be consistent with data.

The research makes a discussion on the rural intelligence returning theory and points out that as a marketing action, rural intelligence returning functions directly and effectively on the supplying to rural economic able-person. The research also makes an analysis of the supplying mechanisms of rural able-person intelligence returning of the under-developed agricultural plain in Henan province. And results show that transferring of rural surplus labors takes place among provinces; farmers accelerate in returning to hometowns to make money and returning phenomena would tend to be normal. With the more and more popular the intelligence returning phenomenon in rural areas, the under-developed agricultural plain in Henan province would make enough profits.

description: We present single-dish H I spectra obtained with the Green Bank Telescope, along with optical photometric properties from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, of 20 nearby (D < 70 Mpc) Luminous Compact Blue Galaxies (LCBGs). These ~L*, blue, high surface brightness, starbursting galaxies were selected with the same criteria used to define LCBGs at higher redshifts. We find these galaxies are gas-rich, with M(HI) ranging from 5*10^8 to 8*10^9 M_sun, and M(HI)/L_B ranging from 0.2 to 2 M_sun/L_sun, consistent with a variety of morphological types of galaxies. We find the dynamical masses (measured within R_25) span a wide range, from 3*10^9 to 1*10^11 M_sun. However, at least half have dynamical mass-to-light ratios smaller than nearby galaxies of all Hubble types, as found for LCBGs at intermediate redshifts. By comparing line widths and effective radii with local galaxy populations, we find that LCBGs are consistent with the dynamical mass properties of Magellanic (low luminosity) spirals, and the more massive irregulars and dwarf ellipticals, such as NGC 205.

description: Fourier transform (FT) spectroscopy is a versatile technique for studying the infrared (IR) optical response of solid-, liquid-, and gas-phase samples. In standard FT-IR spectrometers, a light beam passing through a Michelson interferometer is focused onto a sample with condenser optics. This design enables us to examine relatively small samples, but the large solid angle of the focused infrared beam makes it difficult to analyze angle-dependent characteristics. Here we design and construct a high-precision angle-resolved reflection setup compatible with a commercial FT-IR spectrometer. Our setup converts the focused beam into an achromatically collimated beam with an angle dispersion as high as 0.25$^\circ$. The setup also permits us to scan the incident angle over ~8$^\circ$ across zero (normal incidence). The beam diameter can be reduced to ~1 mm, which is limited by the sensitivity of an HgCdTe detector. The small-footprint apparatus is easily installed in an FT-IR sample chamber. As a demonstration of the capability of our reflection setup we measure the angle-dependent mid-infrared reflectance of two-dimensional photonic crystal slabs and determine the in-plane dispersion relation in the vicinity of the $Γ$ point in momentum space. We observe the formation of photonic Dirac cones, i.e., linear dispersions with an accidental degeneracy at $Γ$, in an ideally designed sample. Our apparatus is useful for characterizing various systems that have a strong in-plane anisotropy, including photonic crystal waveguides, plasmonic metasurfaces, and molecular crystalline films.

description: The behavior of a dilute two-component superfluid Fermi gas subjected to rotation is investigated within the context of a weak-coupling BCS theory. The microscopic properties at finite temperature are obtained by iterating the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations to self-consistency. In the model, alkali atoms are strongly confined in quasi-two-dimensional traps produced by a deep one-dimensional optical lattice. The lattice depth significantly enhances the critical transition temperature and the critical rotation frequency at which the superfluidity ceases. As the rotation frequency increases, the triangular vortex arrays become increasingly irregular, indicating a quantum melting transition.

description: Feedforward Convolutional Neural Networks (ffCNNs) have become state-of-the-art models both in computer vision and neuroscience. However, human-like performance of ffCNNs does not necessarily imply human-like computations. Previous studies have suggested that current ffCNNs do not make use of global shape information. However, it is currently unclear whether this reflects fundamental differences between ffCNN and human processing or is merely an artefact of how ffCNNs are trained. Here, we use visual crowding as a well-controlled, specific probe to test global shape computations. Our results provide evidence that ffCNNs cannot produce human-like global shape computations for principled architectural reasons. We lay out approaches that may address shortcomings of ffCNNs to provide better models of the human visual system.

description: We investigate the thermal production of gravitinos in the context of the brane world cosmology. Since the expansion law is modified from the one in the standard cosmology, the Boltzmann equation for the gravitino production is altered. We find that the late-time gravitino abundance is proportional to the ``transition temperature'', at which the modified expansion law in the brane world cosmology is connecting with the standard one, rather than the reheating temperature after inflation as in the standard cosmology. This means that, even though the reheating temperature is very high, we can avoid the overproduction of gravitinos by taking the transition temperature low enough. Therefore, the gravitino problem can be solved.

description: This paper introduces agricultural catastrophe and its characteristics, and conducts comparative analysis on existing mechanism of spreading agricultural catastrophe risk, indicating that the mechanism of administrative remedy has the greatest efficiency and highest cost; the mechanism of social assistance has the lowest cost, but its efficiency is lowest and there are unstable factors; market mechanism, namely the insurance of agricultural catastrophe, is the rational choice of agricultural department in mechanism of risk spreading. This paper analyzes the status quo of China’s insurance of agricultural catastrophe, indicating that the main body of management in China’s insurance of agricultural catastrophe is missing. In addition, the market demand is critically scanty, and insurance of agricultural catastrophe lacks external development environment. The gap of China’s insurance law of agricultural catastrophe has become the greatest obstacle to the development of insurance of agricultural catastrophe. From legislative purpose, basic principle, nature, main body of legal relations, management range, policy support, supervision and management and so on, the legislation conception of China’s insurance of agricultural catastrophe is put forward.

description: On the basis of introducing relevant theories of Engel’s coefficient, this paper analyzes the limitation of these theories in practical application currently in China, for example, continuing to use original theory, not in line with reality of China; comparison invalidity in length and breadth, is not conducive to relevant analysis; culling out the special factors easily causes distortion of conclusion. Taking rural areas in Hebei Province as an example, this paper analyzes the limitation of Engel’s coefficient in analyzing the gap of rural economy: in terms of region horizontally, Engel’s coefficient neglects the difference of consumption structure among regions, and difference of economic stages among regions; in terms of time vertically, Engel’s coefficient neglects the periodic change of consumption structure and the ratio change of different families in different periods. According to the reality of China’s rural areas, the correction model of Engel’s coefficient is established as follows. Firstly, Engel’s coefficient=percentage of expenditure variation (food+ education+ medical service)/percentage of total expenditure variation; Engel’s coefficient=percentage of expenditure variation (food+ education+ medical service)/percentage of income variation. Secondly, Engel’s coefficient=percentage of expenditure variation of food/percentage of variation of (total expenditure-educational expenditure-medical expenditure. Thirdly, Engel’s coefficient=percentage of expenditure variation of food/percentage of total expenditure variation.

In this paper we introduce a fast method to compute $\vert L(1,χ) \vert$ using the values of Euler's $Γ$ function. We also introduce an alternative way of computing $\log Γ(x)$ and $ψ(x)= Γ^\prime/Γ(x)$,$x\in(0,1)$. Using such algorithms we numerically verify the classical Littlewood bounds and the recent Lamzouri-Li-Soundararajan estimates on $\vert L(1,χ) \vert$, where $χ$ runs over the non trivial primitive Dirichlet characters $\bmod\ q$, for every odd prime $q$ up to $10^7$.

We show that the investment decision of an agent depends on the effects of both the capital investment and the level of production on the cost and the uncertainty the agent is confronted with. Moreover, we find that ambiguity aversion tends to decrease the agent's optimal levels of production and investment. Our numerical analysis of the French case illustrates the different effects associated with market size uncertainty and competitive effect uncertainty.

description: The 2008 food crisis has challenged the political legitimacy and economic efficiency of the liberalization of international agricultural trade. An alternative vision defended by the food sovereignty movement is that longterm food security cannot rely on dependency on food imports, but must be built on the development of domestic production with enough barrier protection to shelter it from world price fluctuations and unfair trading. The purpose of this paper is to look into whether the West African nations can achieve food sovereignty given their various trade commitments and other external constraints. The particularity of our approach is to combine a historical economic analysis with a political approach to food sovereignty and trade commitments. Our results suggest that external brakes on the development of food sovereignty policies are marginal, as the countries still have unused room for manoeuvre to protect their smallholder agriculture under the terms of draft World Trade Organization agreements and Economic Partnership Agreements and under the international financial institutions’ recommendations. Rather the international environment seems to be instrumented by West African states that do not manage to secure a national political consensus to drive structural reforms deemed vital and further the food security of the urban populations over the marginalized rural populations. Recently, the regional integration process has made headway with a common agricultural support and protection policy project that could herald an internal political balance more conducive to food-producing agriculture.

Mundurukú : phonetics, phonology, synchrony, diachrony

description: This dissertation offers an in-depth investigation of the phonology of Munduruku, a Tupi language spoken in the Amazonian basin of Brazil, approached from three interrelated perspectives: phonetic, phonological and diachronic. It examines (i) the Munduruku vowel and consonant inventories, (ii) syllable structure and syllabification, (iii) phonotactic patterns, (iv) nasal harmony, (v) consonant mutation, (vi) tone system and the tone-creaky voice interaction, (vii) reduplication, and (viii) the phonological behavior of various affixes. The phonetic investigation focuses on several acoustic properties of segments (i.e. vowels and consonants), and on phonological contrasts observed in vowels, in particular the oral-nasal and modal-creaky voice oppositions, in addition to tonal distinctions. This is done with a view to determining how and to what extent such phonetic realizations can be imposed on phonological representations. These issues constitute an important part of the study, and are particularly relevant to the discussion about the coarticulatory effects observed in the realization of stops, nasals and laryngeals. The study also offers a formal account of all major phonological processes attested in the language such as syllabification, nasal harmony, consonant mutation, tone, etc. The theoretical model adopted here is Optimality Theory (OT), which defends a representation of the structural design of grammars based upon a ranking of universal constraints. Each chapter contributes to the development of an OT-based grammar of the phonology of Munduruku by examining new aspects of the language, and by situating them in a large-scale scenario until the OT-grammar is assembled. This result is presented in the last chapter. In search of evidence for the synchronic analysis, and for a better understanding of some uncharacteristic patterns, the study turns to the historical development of the language. Using data from Kuruaya, a sister language to Munduruku, hypotheses about the stage that preceded both languages, Proto-Munduruku, are made available. In recovering this stage, and the stage that preceded the modern period, it is possible to recover many of the changes the grammar has undergone and which culminated in the synchronic patterns. Ultimately, this study argues for an approach to synchronic grammars as a composite of universal and language-specific properties, determined by diachronic changes.
Trade impact of EU preferences

description: This chapter assesses the impact on trade of European Union (EU) trade policies, using a gravity model based on disaggregated trade flows from 169 developing countries (DC) to 25 EU member countries. It uses a sample selection framework to account for potential selection bias in positive trade flows and provides an explicit measure for relative preference margins. The results serve to debunk some of the most widespread criticisms of preferential policies: EU preferences matter, and have a positive impact on developing countries’ exports at the intensive margin, and an ambiguous impact at the extensive margin with significant differences across sectors.
The Role of ASM in Meeting Outcome Targets: A Perspective from the Coal Face

description: The Environment Canterbury Act with the CWMS embed in ‘law’ a hierarchy of collaborative and more formal institutional arrangements in the form of regional and zone committees. Through these committees we increasingly see a fine tuning of the specificity of the targets around land use and water quality which lead to the maxim – ‘the devil is in the detail’. Under the zones sit an array of audited and non audited self management groups, containing a membership often worried about this ‘devil’, because it will cost. What does this mean for land managers working at the coal face and the agency personnel they then have to interact with? The audited self management (ASM) concept provides significant opportunities for land managers and the management agencies, such as Environment Canterbury. However, with the opportunities there are challenges particularly at the farm level. This paper explores some of these opportunities and challenges and lessons learnt using experiences from the North Otago Irrigation (NOIC), and Morven Glenavy Ikawai irrigation (MGI) schemes as examples of how the schemes, individual land managers and council’s can work together to achieve agreed outcome targets.

description: The question of how to effectively address agricultural greenhouse gas emissions is of critical importance for New Zealand and the world. Ensuring that our responses are effective requires us to first consider what we aim to achieve: why do we care about agricultural emissions? This paper responds to this fundamental inquiry, and argues that New Zealanders‟ diverse individual motivations can be grouped under three headings: one, concern about the direct impacts of climate change on New Zealand and the world; two, pressure from others based on their concern about climate change; three, complementary goals. This framework is useful in setting out how our underlying motivations should shape our responses, and highlights the importance of choosing responses that will be robust to future uncertainties.

description: The aims of our paper are to identify economic determinants of the on-farm cultivars diversity and to empirically characterize the farmers' diversification choices. We focus on the private decision making process involving the choice of rice cultivars and the corresponding allocation of farmland. For a specific crop, the choice of cultivars, and the resulting cultivars portfolio, involves the farmer comparing benefits and costs. Among the many costs involved, we focus on diversity's management costs. Our results rely on original data collected during the spring 2009 in the study area, and involve a sample of 86 economic units growing rice. We estimated a count data model, in which the endogeneous variable is the number of cultivars grown on the farm. After that, we studied the factors explaining the portfolio choice in terms of commercial rice grain, and the on-farm repartition between these different types. A multinomial logit model was used, with three alternatives, be specialized into a particular type of rice grain (long or round), or grow simultaneously these two types, or finally be diversified with niche market varieties. And finally we estimated the percentage of long rice compared to the percentage of round rice with a linear regression model. The results confirm the importance of the interactions between market related benefit and the management constraints on land and labor.

description: Using a randomized control trial embedded within a mixed-methods evaluation, we find that an at-scale government teacher training program, of a common but seldom-evaluated form, has little or no impact on student learning. We then document five challenges that the policy’s design failed to address, related to: oversight of training sessions, school-level difficulties in releasing teachers for training (lack of substitute teachers), deficits in teachers’ subject knowledge, deficits in teachers’ post-training accountability and support, and students’ needs for differentiated instruction. We discuss implications for the literatures on teacher training program design and on good governance for public service provision.

description: The impacts of including the agricultural sector in the New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) depend on how farmers change their behaviour in response to the increased cost of emissions. Yet most analyses of the ETS do not allow for a behavioural response. This paper partially addresses the gap in the literature: it allows for farmers to change their land use to reflect the reduced returns from pastoral agriculture as well as the potential to earn carbon credits for sequestration performed by plantation forestry and scrub. Simulations performed in the Land Use in Rural New Zealand (LURNZ) model allow us to answer questions about the likely spatial and temporal distribution of the socio-economic impacts of the ETS.
