description: Globally there has been a growing interest towards the privatization of agricultural extension services. Privatization of extension service delivery is being considered for Bangladesh with a view to lower the government expenditures, to increase the efficiency of service delivery and to improve the quality of the extension services in changed circumstances on the part of the farmers. Farmers’ willingness to pay for the extension service in Bangladesh is still unknown. The lesson learned from the world review indicates that though some developed countries went for complete privatization of agricultural extension services, the most of the developing countries still remaining in the process of gradual privatization on a partly basis. Therefore, after critical analysis, this paper assumed some challenges of privatization of agricultural extension service delivery in Bangladesh. Despite the challenges, it is hoped that Bangladesh still has some prospects to adopt privatization of agricultural extension service if the recommended policy guidelines out lined in this paper are followed accordingly.

description: Deep neural networks are vulnerable to adversarial attacks, in which imperceptible perturbations to their input lead to erroneous network predictions. This phenomenon has been extensively studied in the image domain, and has only recently been extended to 3D point clouds. In this work, we present novel data-driven adversarial attacks against 3D point cloud networks. We aim to address the following problems in current 3D point cloud adversarial attacks: they do not transfer well between different networks, and they are easy to defend against via simple statistical methods. To this extent, we develop a new point cloud attack (dubbed AdvPC) that exploits the input data distribution by adding an adversarial loss, after Auto-Encoder reconstruction, to the objective it optimizes. AdvPC leads to perturbations that are resilient against current defenses, while remaining highly transferable compared to state-of-the-art attacks. We test AdvPC using four popular point cloud networks: PointNet, PointNet++ (MSG and SSG), and DGCNN. Our proposed attack increases the attack success rate by up to 40% for those transferred to unseen networks (transferability), while maintaining a high success rate on the attacked network. AdvPC also increases the ability to break defenses by up to 38% as compared to other baselines on the ModelNet40 dataset.

description: In parameter estimation, nuisance parameters refer to parameters that are not of interest but nevertheless affect the precision of estimating other parameters of interest. For instance, the strength of noises in a probe can be regarded as a nuisance parameter. Despite its long history in classical statistics, the nuisance parameter problem in quantum estimation remains largely unexplored. The goal of this article is to provide a systematic review of quantum estimation in the presence of nuisance parameters, and to supply those who work in quantum tomography and quantum metrology with tools to tackle relevant problems. After an introduction to the nuisance parameter and quantum estimation theory, we explicitly formulate the problem of quantum state estimation with nuisance parameters. We extend quantum Cramer-Rao bounds to the nuisance parameter case and provide a parameter orthogonalization tool to separate the nuisance parameters from the parameters of interest. In particular, we put more focus on the case of one-parameter estimation in the presence of nuisance parameters, as it is most frequently encountered in practice.

description: The authors attempted to ascertain the entrepreneurial potential of poultry farmers in Delta State using farmers’ scores in six entrepreneurial traits measured on a five-point Likert scale. The study covered the population of 275 poultry farmers in the State. The objectives were to ascertain the level of entrepreneurial traits of Poultry farmers and to determine the distribution of poultry farm entrepreneurs by category, namely; low, average and high potential, across the three agricultural zones. The hypotheses tested were that entrepreneurial traits of poultry farmers were not above average and that there was no significant variation in poultry farmers’ entrepreneurial potentials across the three agricultural zones. Primary data were collected using copies of a structured questionnaire. By using analysis of variance and test of differences between a test value of 3.4, major findings were that poultry farmers were above average in three entrepreneurial traits but with significant variation across the zones; that entrepreneurial potential was generally below average, finally, that the three categories of poultry farm entrepreneurs were randomly distributed across the zones. The authors concluded that while there may not be any inherent biases in drawing sample of poultry farmers across the State for development projects purposes, there may be differences in cost implications for farmers’ entrepreneurial development.

description: The effect of corruption on airport productive efficiency is analyzed using an unbalanced panel data of major European airports from 2003 to 2009. We first compute the residual (or net) variable factor productivity using the multilateral index number method and then apply robust cluster random effects model in order to evaluate the importance of corruption. We find strong evidence that corruption has negative impacts on airport operating efficiency; and the effects depend on the ownership form of the airport. The results suggest that airports under mixed public-private ownership with private majority achieve lower levels of efficiency when located in more corrupt countries. They even operate less efficiently than fully and/or majority government owned airports in high corruption environment. We control for economic regulation, competition level and other airports’ characteristics. Our empirical results survive several robustness checks including different control variables, three alternative corruption measures: International Country Risk Guide (ICRG) corruption index, Corruption Perception Index (CPI) and Control of Corruption Index (CCI). The empirical findings have important policy implications for management and ownership structuring of airports operating in countries that suffer from higher levels of corruption.

description: This paper studies proofs of strong convergence of various iterative algorithms for computing the unique zeros of set-valued accretive operators that also satisfy some weak form of uniform accretivity at zero. More precisely, we extract explicit rates of convergence from these proofs which depend on a modulus of uniform accretivity at zero, a concept first introduced by A. Koutsoukou-Argyraki and the first author in 2015. Our highly modular approach, which is inspired by the logic-based proof mining paradigm, also establishes that a number of seemingly unrelated convergence proofs in the literature are actually instances of a common pattern.
Visualizing Roles of Spastic Paraplegia Proteins in Organizing Axonal ER in Live Drosophila

description: Axons possess a continuous network of smooth tubular endoplasmic reticulum (ER), extending from the nuclear envelope throughout the neuron to synapses. Mutations affecting proteins with intramembrane hairpin domains that model tubular ER membrane can lead to the axon degenerative disease, hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP). However, the extent and mechanisms by which HSP proteins contribute to axonal ER organization and dynamics are unclear. To understand these mechanisms, there is a need to visualize axonal ER in wild-type and mutant live axons. I have therefore aimed to develop these tools in Drosophila larvae and adults, and use them to visualize mutant phenotypes. Firstly, I developed a system to visualize fluorescently marked ER in individual axons in adult fly legs, and tested how this can be used to investigate the effects of loss of intramembrane hairpin HSP proteins on ER in adult legs. Secondly, known mutations affecting HSP hairpin proteins reduce the axonal ER network but not severely; I hypothesized that additional HSP ER membrane proteins might contribute to residual tubule formation; these include Arl6IP, also reported to promote ER tubule formation. I generated transgenic flies to overexpress a fluorescently tagged eGFP::Arl6IP1, and found that this fusion protein localizes within axonal ER. To study whether loss of Arl6IP1 function affects axonal ER, I tested the effects of knockdown on this compartment, but found no consistent effects. To achieve stronger loss of function, I also generated a mutant stock that lacked one of the transmembrane domains and showed a slight developmental delay in homozygous Drosophila larvae. Like mutations in a number of other HSP hairpin proteins, this lesion is homozygous viable, and further characterization of its phenotype will help elucidate how Arl6IP1 contributes to modeling the axonal ER network. In conclusion, my work shows the utility of GFP markers of axonal ER, it can facilitate faster screening for other genes that potentially regulate ER structure and for ageing phenotypes that are not apparent in larval stages, and suggests Arl6IP1 as another HSP protein with a role in axonal ER organization.

description: Using three-body recombination as the underlying process, we propose a method of coherently driving an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) into a molecular BEC. Superradiant-like stimulation favors atom-to-molecule transitions when two atomic BECs collide at a resonant kinetic energy, the result being two molecular BEC clouds moving with well defined velocities. Potential applications include the construction of a molecule laser.

description: The motion of an assembly of rigid fibers is investigated for different classes of closed streamline flows, steady or time dependent, two dimensional or three dimensional. In our study, the dynamics of the fiber assembly is fully-coupled to the flow field by means of a state-of-the-art immersed boundary method. We show that, for sufficiently small Stokes times of the assembly, the whole flow gradient tensor can be accurately reconstructed by simply tracking the fiber assembly and measuring suitable fiber velocity differences evaluated at the fiber ends. Our results strongly suggest the possibility of using rigid fibers (or assemblies of them) to perform multi-point flow measures, either in laboratory or in field: future experiments are therefore mandatory to inquire the feasibility of a new `Fiber Tracking Velocimetry' technique.

description: Photovoltaic (PV) cells have the potential to serve as on-board power sources for low-power IoT devices. Here, we explore the use of perovskite solar cells to power Radio Frequency (RF) backscatter-based IoT devices with a few μW power demand. Perovskites are suitable for low-cost, high-performance, low-temperature processing, and flexible light energy harvesting that hold the possibility to significantly extend the range and lifetime of current backscatter techniques such as Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). For these reasons, perovskite solar cells are prominent candidates for future low-power wireless applications. We report on realizing a functional perovskite-powered wireless temperature sensor with 4 m communication range. We use a 10.1% efficient perovskite PV module generating an output voltage of 4.3 V with an active area of 1.06 cm2 under 1 sun illumination, with AM 1.5G spectrum, to power a commercial off-the-shelf RFID IC, requiring 10 - 45 μW of power. Having an on-board energy harvester provides extra-energy to boost the range of the sensor (5x) in addition to providing energy to carry out high-volume sensor measurements (hundreds of measurements per min). Our evaluation of the prototype suggests that perovskite photovoltaic cells are able to meet the energy needs to enable fully autonomous low-power RF backscatter applications of the future. We conclude with an outlook into a range of applications that we envision to leverage the synergies offered by combining perovskite photovoltaics and RFID.

description: Assessment of biodistribution and specific tumor accumulation is essential for the development of new radiopharmaceuticals and requires animal experiments. The HET-CAM (hens-egg test—chorioallantoic membrane) model can be used in combination with the non-invasive imaging modalities PET and MRI for pre-selection during radiopharmaceutical development to reduce the number of animal experiments required. Critical to the acceptance of this model is the demonstration of the quantifiability and reproducibility of these data compared to the standard animal model. Tumor accumulation and biodistribution of the PSMA-specific radiotracer [18F]F-siPSMA-14 was analyzed in the chick embryo and in an immunodeficient mouse model. Evaluation was based on MRI and PET data in both models. γ-counter measurements and histopathological analyses complemented these data. PSMA-specific accumulation of [18F]F-siPSMA-14 was successfully demonstrated in the HET-CAM model, similar to the results obtained by mouse model studies. The combination of MR and PET imaging allowed precise quantification of peptide accumulation, initial assessment of biodistribution, and accurate determination of tumor volume. Thus, the use of the HET-CAM model is suitable for the pre-selection of new radiopharmaceuticals and potentially reduces animal testing in line with the 3Rs principles of animal welfare.

description: A novel macroporous strong acidic cation exchange resin (D001) modified by nano-sized goethite (nFeOOH@D001) was fabricated by using a facile ethanol dispersion and impregnation method, and its efficiency for Cr(VI) removal was tested thereafter. Due to the dispersing effect of ethanol, FeOOH particles of 20-150 nm were coated on the D001 surfaces. The nFeOOH@D001 obtained a Cr(VI) removal efficiency and capacity of 80.2% and 7.4 mg/g respectively, 5 times and 8 times higher than that of the pristine D001. The Cr(VI) removal by nFeOOH@D001 followed the pseudo second-order kinetics and the Langmuir adsorption model. Column experiments also demonstrated that the nFeOOH@D001 exhibited a much better ability to remove Cr(VI) as compared to the D001. Additionally, the nFeOOH@D001 showed a potential for reusability and renewability. The adsorbed nFeOOH@D001 could be easily desorbed by 0.1 M acetic acid and a reuse efficiency of 92.7% could be maintained after 4 desorption-adsorption cycles. The used nFeOOH@D001 could be eluted by 0.1 M HCl to remove nFeOOH, and the renewed D001 could be recoated by nFeOOH and achieved a regeneration rate of 97.8% for Cr(VI) removal. The above results indicated that nano-sized goethite modification is a promising method to endow D001 with the ability to remove Cr(VI) from water.

description: The enlargemenr of the Eu in 1995 with Austria, Finland and Sweden had a considerable effect on the Union's policy on forests, and there is reason to believe that further impact will arise from the enlargement in 2004 with ten Central and Eastern European countries. The present study aims at assessing the potential short-medium term change--its extent and direction--of the Forest Strategy 1998 resulting from the enlargement. However, as the assessment is somewhat subjective and based on a small part of the relevent information, emphasis is on the method developed for policy analysis, its merits being that qualitative information is quantifies in a simple and transparent way, making the results easily interpreted and reproducible to a reasonable extent.

Non-perturbative values of $Z_V$ and $Z_A$ turn out to be smaller than the one-loop perturbative values by $O(10%)$ at $a^{-1}\approx 1$ GeV. A sizable scaling violation of meson decay constants $f_π$ and $f_ρ$ observed with the one-loop renormalization factors remains even with non-perturbative renormalization.

description: The paper addresses the question who benefits from public funding of recreation areas. Employing a survey data set that includes both users and nonusers of state-owned recreation and conservation areas in Finland, we derive measures of the income elasticity of willingness to pay for recreation services. Our elasticity estimates indicate that public provision of these services seems to benefit more those with lower incomes. We also estimate potential welfare effects for two seperate income groups (lower-/higher-than-median income) in alternative cases in which a free acceptable to a median voter would be implemented for the use of recreation areas. The efficiency and welfare losses have ambiguous impacts on the high and low-income groups, with the impacts depending on the actual level of the fee implemented. Finally, we discuss whether public funding of recreation services can be justified and what the optimal policies might be for implementing user fees.

description: This study aimed at figuring out the distributions of spatial and temporal scales of Finnish family forest owners’ decisions as well as the relative commonness of various topics and popularity of alternative decision service types. A specific emphasis was given to biodiversity-related decision making from a forest planning perspective. Mail questionnaire data (n=1244 with response rate 59.7%) were analyzed with standard statistical methods. Results show that owners most commonly consider the next year’s silvicultural treatments or timber trade from their whole forest holding. Some 40% of owners indicated a willingness to protect some part of their forest holding temporarily. About 10% were ready to protect without compensation, and 30% for compensation. Some 7% would be satisfied with compensation below the economic opportunity cost. The results indicate that Finnish family forest owners would benefit from contextual services that complement the tactical forest plans on a yearly basis. Biodiversity protection and nature-friendly forestry do seem to rise as a topic of notable interest. Game and aesthetic values associate positively with biodiverse stands. To better attract today’s diverse forest owners, forest management planning needs to be re-designed towards decision support service modules that respond to the questions arisen in owners’ actual decision situations.

description: The Jovian dust streams are high-speed bursts of submicron-sized particles traveling in the same direction from a source in the Jovian system. Since their discovery in 1992, they have been observed by three spacecraft: Ulysses, Galileo and Cassini. The source of the Jovian dust streams is dust from Io's volcanoes. The charged and traveling dust stream particles have particular signatures in frequency space and in real space. The frequency-transformed Galileo dust stream measurements show different signatures, varying orbit-to-orbit during Galileo's first 29 orbits around Jupiter. Time-frequency analysis demonstrates that Io is a localized source of charged dust particles. Aspects of the particles' dynamics can be seen in the December-2000 joint Galileo-Cassini dust stream measurements. To match the travel times, the smallest dust particles could have the following range of parameters: radius: 6nm, density: 1.35-1.75gr/cm$^3$, sulfur charging conditions, which produce dust stream speeds: 220|450km/sec (Galileo|Cassini) and charge potentials: 5.5|6.3Volt (Galileo|Cassini).

description: The $φ_0$ Josephson junctions formed by ordinary superconductors and a magnetic non-centrosymmetric interlayer are studied. We derive an analytical solution for the magnetization dynamics induced by an arbitrary current pulse and formulate the criteria for magnetization reversal. Using the obtained results, the form and duration of the current pulse are optimized. The agreement between analytical and numerical investigations is reached in the case of a large product of the ratio Josephson to magnetic energy, strength of spin-orbit interaction and a minimal value of the current pulse. The obtained results allow one to predict magnetization reversal at the chosen system parameters.
Dynamical mean field theory for transition temperature and optics of CMR manganites

description: A tight binding parametrization of local spin density functional band theory is combined with a dynamical mean field treatment of correlations to obtain a theory of the magnetic transition temperature, optical conductivity and T=0 spinwave stiffness of a minimal model for the pseudocubic metallic $CMR$ manganites such a $La_{1-X}Sr_{x}MnO_{3}$. The results indicate that previous estimates of $T_{c}$ obtained by one of us (Phys. Rev. \textbf{B61} 10738-49 (2000)) are in error, that in fact the materials are characterized by Hunds coupling $J\approx 1.5eV$, and that magnetic-order driven changes in the kinetic energy may not be the cause of the observed 'colossal' magnetoresistive and multiphase behavior in the manganites, raising questions about our present understanding of these materials.

description: The identification of which nodes are optimal seeds for spreading processes on a network is a non-trivial problem that has attracted much interest recently. While activity has mostly focused on non-recurrent type of dynamics, here we consider the problem for the Susceptible-Infected-Susceptible (SIS) spreading model, where an outbreak seeded in one node can originate an infinite activity avalanche. We apply the theoretical framework for avalanches on networks proposed by Larremore et al. [Phys. Rev. E 85, 066131 (2012)], to obtain detailed quantitative predictions for the spreading influence of individual nodes (in terms of avalanche duration and avalanche size) both above and below the epidemic threshold. When the approach is complemented with an annealed network approximation, we obtain fully analytical expressions for the observables of interest close to the transition, highlighting the role of degree centrality. Comparison of these results with numerical simulations performed on synthetic networks with power-law degree distribution reveals in general a good agreement in the subcritical regime, leaving thus some questions open for further investigation relative to the supercritical region.

description: This study sought to identify the most typical timber trade network structures among Finnish family forest owners. Finding the most typical networks means that owners’ structural equivalence is defined. From a forest policy perspective, structurally equivalent owners, i.e. those who have the same kind of network structure, can be reached in similar ways. Data were collected via a mail questionnaire. The questionnaire was sent to 2084 Finnish family forest owners. Response rate was 59.7. After multiple imputation, social networks of 753 forest owners were included in the examination. The four most typical social-network structures in timber trade were identified through a cluster analysis. The members of FMA-partners have always connection with an advisor of the local Forest Management Association (FMA). This connection is often bi-directional and exclusive. Connections of Independent timber sellers are directed mainly towards a timber buyer. Relationship builders have the greatest number of connections compared with other groups. Non-committed FMA-members have a dense connection with FMA and relationships also with a timber buyer and their family. Knowledge of owners’ networks helps service providers to offer support in timber trade and in other concrete decision situations. Service preferences of the identified owner groups need, however, more in-depth study.

description: The most important measure in addressing the forest ownership/land use rights market are the creation of forest land trade centers (FTC), which are established to facilitate the transfer of forest lands in China. The aim of this paper is to analyze the implementation, bottleneck, opportunity, challenge and developing trend of FTCs, based on the status quo of the FTCs in collectively-owned forest regions in Southern China. This paper uses PRA approaches including questionnaires, semi-structured interview to survey the status of forest land trade in the FTCs in four selected counties and the perceptions of their staff, beneficiaries, local governments, county forestry bureaus and Provincial Forestry Department. The study reveals that the establishment and operation of FTCs are subject to a wide range of policy, legal, financial and institutional constraints. The analysis shows that different stakeholders have different opinions about their own benefits. The staffs of FTCs are concerned about the future of the FTCs and recommend to expand the extension of their services; Beneficiaries considered that the forest land trade involves high transaction costs and a complex procedure. Finally, this paper summarizes the experience and lessons about the FTC, and discusses the Proposals to Improve the FTCs in future.

description: We present our final results of the charmonium spectrum in quenched QCD on anisotropic lattices. Simulations are made with the plaquette gauge action and a tadpole improved clover quark action employing $ξ= a_s/a_t = 3$. We calculate the spectrum of S- and P-states and their excitation, and study the scaling behavior of mass splittings. Comparison is made with the experiment and previous lattice results. The issue of hyperfine splitting for different choices of the clover coefficients obtained by Klassen is discussed.
