description: Although per capita fluid milk consumption in the United States has been declining, production and consumption of manufactured dairy products are on the rise. Growth in the Greek-style yogurt market can be attributed to growth in production and consumption of manufactured dairy products. Rapid growth in Greek-style yogurts could create both opportunities and problems for dairy-product consumers, producers, and marketers. This paper investigates the growth of Greek-style yogurt market in the United States focusing on quantifying implications on consumer demand and dairy farmer welfare as it relates to economic efficiency and product availability. The objectives are to (a) estimate economic and demographic factors affecting U.S. demand for Greek-style yogurt, and (b) investigate the economic ramifications on U.S milk producers in the event that demand for Greek-style yogurt continues to grow as well as if over-capacity occurs, and leads to declines in the Greek-style yogurt price, the overall welfare of dairy farmers Cutting-edge methodologies in censored demand modeling and calculation of farm-level welfare effects are used. This work will help set appropriate policies at consumer, producer and marketer level pertaining to Greek-style yogurts in the United States, and thereby contributing to long-range improvement and sustainability of U.S. agricultural and food systems.

description: This article explores farmers’ adoption of the Best Management Practices (BMPs) in Kentucky, and the factors affecting their choices of BMPs through a proposed Water Quality Trading (WQT) program. We introduce a two-step framework to estimate farmers’ current and future choices of BMPs using a bivariate probit model. The first step is to investigate the factors influencing farmers’ current usage of BMPs, and the second step is to estimate their willingness to implement BMPs given different levels of compensation offered through a survey. The results show that farmers who participate in the conservation programs are more likely to currently be using BMPs. Farmers’ previous experience with BMPs is one of the most important contributors affecting farmers’ future choices of BMPs. The results also find that increasing compensation will encourage farmers to implement the practices of animal fences and waste storage facilities. Finally, applying the coefficient results, we calculate the probabilities that farmers would likely use BMPs at different levels of compensation, and conclude that the emission credits in WQT markets are able to be supplied in Kentucky.

description: ADC-connect (adcc) is a hybrid python/C++ module for performing excited state calculations based on the algebraic-diagrammatic construction scheme for the polarisation propagator (ADC). Key design goal is to restrict adcc to this single purpose and facilitate connection to external packages, e.g., for obtaining the Hartree-Fock references, plotting spectra, or modelling solvents. Interfaces to four self-consistent field codes have already been implemented, namely pyscf, psi4, molsturm, and veloxchem. The computational workflow, including the numerical solvers, are implemented in python, whereas the working equations and other expensive expressions are done in C++. This equips adcc with adequate speed, making it a flexible toolkit for both rapid development of ADC-based computational spectroscopy methods as well as unusual computational workflows. This is demonstrated by three examples. Presently, ADC methods up to third order in perturbation theory are available in adcc, including the respective core-valence separation and spin-flip variants. Both restricted or unrestricted Hartree-Fock references can be employed.

description: We have explored the use of (diethoxymethyl)benzaldehyde readily available as a starting material allowing us to end up with Terpyridinebenzaldehyde isomers. An environmentally friendly procedure was undertaken for the synthesis of a series of 4, 3 and 2-([2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridin]-4′-yl)benzaldehyde isomers (para, meta and ortho position). These compounds have been synthesized in one-pot conditions using ethanol and aqueous ammonia as solvents, at room temperature. This methodology offers substantial advantages with respect to its simplicity of operation, reaction time, satisfying yield of products and easy work-up procedure under mild reaction conditions. Apart from spectroscopic characterization, the structure of one of the Terpyridinebenzaldehyde derivative is confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.

description: A series of Schiff bases linked with heterocyclic moiety (6a–c, 7a–c, 11a–c, 12a–c, and 13a–c) and ferrocenyl Schiff bases (15a–c) were designed, synthesized, and confirmed based on the spectral data. Also, evaluations of their in vitro antibacterial and antifungal activities were performed and some Schiff bases (7a, 13a, b, and 15b) show moderate activities. Moreover, the physicochemical, pharmacokinetic, lipophilicity properties, druglikeness, ADME prediction, and toxicity properties of the newly Schiff bases (6a–c, 7a–c, 11a–c, 12a–c, and 13a–c) were predicted in silico. The results exhibited that some Schiff bases agree with druglikeness rules, inhibition of some CYP isoenzymes, and predicted as negative values on the carcinogenicity test. Also, all the Schiff bases exhibited more than 70% on the human intestinal absorption test, moderate permeation on the in vitro Caco-2 cell permeability test, and low permeability on the in vitro MDCK cell permeability test.

description: Using a unique dataset for Indiana counties during the period 1995-2012, we estimate the effects of flood hazard, asset exposure, and social vulnerability on property damage. This relationship then is combined with the expected level of future flood risks to project property damage from flooding in 2030 under various scenarios. We compare these scenario projections to identify which risk management strategy offers the greatest potential to mitigate flooding loss. Results show that by 2030, county level flooding hazard measured by extreme flow volume and frequency will increase by an average of 16.2% and 7.4%, respectively. The total increase in property damages projected under different model specifications range from 13.3% to 20.8%. Across models future damages consistently exhibit the highest sensitivity to future increases in asset exposure, reinforcing the importance of non-structural measures in managing floodplain development.

description: Hydrolysis of quaternary arylphosphonium zwitterions bearing COO− and those in situ generated from the corresponding salts bearing Ac or OH at the aryl ring by using excess t-BuOK and stoichiometric water affords tertiary arylphosphine oxides in moderate to excellent yield, in contrast to hydrolysis of these zwittertion or salts in aqueous NaOH that mainly provides phosphine oxides with the loss of the aryl group. Under the t-BuOK/water conditions, hydrolysis of carbonyl stabilized ylides Ph3P = CHCOR (R = Ph, Me, and OEt), which partially exist as phosphonium enolates, prefers to produce Ph2P(O)CH2COR. Further reduction of Ph2P(O)CH2COMe by PhSiH3 allows the preparation of Ph2PCH2COMe in 43% yield.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. 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.

description: The lexicon consists of a set of word meanings and their semantic relationships. A systematic representation of the English lexicon based in psycholinguistic considerations has been put together in the database Wordnet in a long-term collaborative effort1. We present here a quantitative study of the graph structure of Wordnet in order to understand the global organization of the lexicon. We find that semantic links follow power-law, scale-invariant behaviors typical of self-organizing networks. Polysemy, the ambiguity of an individual word, can act as a link in the semantic network, relating the different meanings of a common word. Inclusion of polysemous links has a profound impact in the organization of the semantic graph, converting it into a small world, with clusters of high traffic (hubs) representing abstract concepts. Our results show that polysemy organizes the semantic graph in a compact and categorical representation, and thus may explain the ubiquity of polysemy across languages.

description: The US held the largest share in the Japanese sorghum market for 20 years. However, in recent years Australia’s share of the same market has been constantly growing to claim the top position despite the fact that the US sorghum price is cheaper in that country. The ratio of US vs Australian sorghum prices in Japan during the last 20 years does not show too much variability, which seems to imply that the US sorghum has not lost price competitiveness in the Japanese market. Factors other than the price may be affecting the market share of the US sorghum in Japan. Therefore, our research objective is to confirm, using historical data and sound methodology, that grain quality differential might be the variable explaining the loss of US market share that country. This analysis will be helpful in terms of allowing the US sorghum producers to regain market share on the important Japanese market.

For the Lagrangian density V(phi)W(X) with X=dot{phi}^2/2, we find tracker solutions with w_{phi} < w_B exist if Gamma equivalent V''V/(V')^2 > 3/2. Here w_{phi}(w_B) is the equation-of-state of the scalar field (background radiation/matter). Our condition may be useful for examining the existence of the attractor-like behavior in cosmology with k-essence.

description: We analyze geometry of the second order differential operators, having in mind applications to Batalin--Vilkovisky formalism in quantum field theory. As we show, an exhaustive picture can be obtained by considering pencils of differential operators acting on densities of all weights simultaneously. The algebra of densities, which we introduce here, has a natural invariant scalar product. Using it, we prove that there is a one-to-one correspondence between second-order operators in this algebra and the corresponding brackets. A bracket on densities incorporates a bracket on functions, an ``upper connection'' in the bundle of volume forms, and a term similar to the ``Brans--Dicke field'' of the Kaluza--Klein formalism. These results are valid for even operators on a usual manifold as well as for odd operators on a supermanifold. For an odd operator $Δ$ we show that conditions on the order of the operator $Δ^2$ give an hierarchy of properties such as flatness of the upper connection and the Batalin--Vilkovisky master equation. In particular, we obtain a complete description of generating operators for an arbitrary odd Poisson bracket.

Soft billiards with corners

Subjects: subject: Chaotic Dynamics (nlin.CD)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We develop a framework for dealing with smooth approximations to billiards with corners in the two-dimensional setting. Let a polygonal trajectory in a billiard start and end up at the same billiard's corner point. We prove that smooth Hamiltonian flows which limit to this billiard have a nearby periodic orbit if and only if the polygon angles at the corner are ''acceptable''. The criterion for a corner polygon to be acceptable depends on the smooth potential behavior at the corners, which is expressed in terms of a {scattering function}. We define such an asymptotic scattering function and prove the existence of it, explain how it can be calculated and predict some of its properties. In particular, we show that it is non-monotone for some potentials in some phase space regions. We prove that when the smooth system has a limiting periodic orbit it is hyperbolic provided the scattering function is not extremal there. We then prove that if the scattering function is extremal, the smooth system has elliptic periodic orbits limiting to the corner polygon, and, furthermore, that the return map near these periodic orbits is conjugate to a small perturbation of the Henon map and therefore has elliptic islands. We find from the scaling that the island size is typically algebraic in the smoothing parameter and exponentially small in the number of reflections of the polygon orbit.

description: We discuss an inclusive approach to the measurement of the e+e- --> pi+ pi- cross--section by the radiative return method without photon tagging. The essential part of this approach is the choice of rules for event selection which provide rejection of events with 3 (or more) pions and decrease the final--state radiation background. The radiative corrections to the initial--state radiation process are computed for DAPhNE conditions, using the quasi--real electron approximation for both, the cross--section and the underlying kinematics. The two cases of restricted and unrestricted pion phase space are considered. Some numerical calculations illustrate our analytical results.

description: We investigate a possibility that a recently reported radio transient in M81, VTC J095517.5+690813, is caused by an accretion-induced collapse of a white dwarf. It became bright in radio but no associated optical transient was discovered. The accretion-induced collapse is predicted to be radio bright but optically faint, satisfying the observed property. We compare predicted radio emission from the accretion-induced collapse with that of VTC J095517.5+690813 and show that it can be reasonably explained by the accretion-induced collapse. Although it is difficult to firmly conclude that VTC J095517.5+690813 is an accretion-induced collapse, our study shows that radio-bright transients without an optical counterpart could still be related to stellar deaths.

Electrical transport studies of quench condensed Bi films at the initial stage of film growth: Structural transition and the possible formation of electron droplets

description: The electrical transport properties of amorphous Bi films prepared by sequential quench deposition have been studied in situ. A superconductor-insulator (S-I) transition was observed as the film was made increasingly thicker, consistent with previous studies. Unexpected behavior was found at the initial stage of film growth, a regime not explored in detail prior to the present work. As the temperature was lowered, a positive temperature coefficient of resistance (dR/dT > 0) emerged, with the resistance reaching a minimum before the dR/dT became negative again. This behavior was accompanied by a non-linear and asymmetric I-V characteristic. As the film became thicker, conventional variable-range hopping (VRH) was recovered. We attribute the observed crossover in the electrical transport properties to an amorphous to granular structural transition. The positive dR/dT found in the amorphous phase of Bi formed at the initial stage of film growth was qualitatively explained by the formation of metallic droplets within the electron glass.

description: Background- Academic research examining relationships between time spent in food related activities and obesity using nationally representative data is emerging in the literature and suggests that spending more time in food related activities, including food preparation and primary eating are associated with lower probabilities of obesity or decreased BMI. The addition of race and ethnicity to the investigation of the relationship between food behaviors and obesity adds complexity to an already complicated problem. For example, Black and Hispanic women have a greater prevalence of both overweight and obesity compared to White women in the U.S. In 2009-2010, 58.6 percent of black and 40.7 percent of Hispanic women were obese (BMI>=30) compared to 33.4 percent of White women and a prevalence of 33.4 percent overall (Flegal et al., 2012). In addition, the rate of increase in obesity for Black women is higher than for White women, including severe obesity (BMI>=35) (Ljungvall and Zimmerman, 2012). There is a dearth of literature that examines food related time use in subpopulations defined by race and ethnicity. Objective: to examine time spent eating in twelve different groups of women residing in two adult households with children under the age of 18. Groups are defined by race/ethnicity and body weight, including White, Black, Asian, and Hispanic, and healthy weight, overweight, and obese classifications. Data: Data are drawn from the 2008 American Time Use Survey and the accompanying Eating and Health Module (ATUS). The ATUS provides nationally representative estimates of how, where, and with whom Americans spend their time, and is the only federal survey providing data on the full range of nonmarket activities. In the ATUS (http://www.bls.gov/tus), respondents sequentially report activities completed between 4 a.m. on the day before the interview until 4 a.m. on the day of the interview. The final sample contains 1754 households. Measures: We focus on time spent in primary eating and drinking, secondary eating, and secondary drinking, both in total for the female respondent in the household and with children. Three weight categories were created from body mass data: Healthy weight, Overweight and Obese. Respondents self-identified race and further classified themselves as being of Hispanic ethnicity. Data were coded first on race and then on ethnicity (omitting “other”). The literature highlights several variables that should be controlled for in a study relating time use with obesity. These include whether a respondent is the primary cook, immigration status, education, income/poverty, employment and wages, age, age of children and household type.

description: Applying the generalized propensity score matching, we estimate the effect of international aid on country GDP growth based on a panel data of 73 aid recipient countries for the period 1960-2011. The matching permits us to select a set of country-year observations that to the largest extent resemble each other, thus substantially reducing the bias caused by cross-country heterogeneity. Another advantage of this analysis is that we provide the effect of aid over a continuous range of aid-receiving intensities, rather than estimating a single average effect. The does-response function appears to be a more precise description of the effectiveness of aid on development when there exists a nonlinear relationship between the two. We find a slightly concave increasing response of economic growth to international aid intensity. The optimal ratio of aid to country GDP is found to be about 6 percent, which corresponds to a 2 percent increment in country GDP growth rate.

description: We construct explicitly non-polynomial eigenfunctions of the difference operators by Macdonald in case $t=q^k$, $k\in{\mathbb Z}$. This leads to a new, more elementary proof of several Macdonald conjectures, first proved by Cherednik. We also establish the algebraic integrability of Macdonald operators at $t=q^k$ ($k\in {\mathbb Z}$), generalizing the result of Etingof and Styrkas. Our approach works uniformly for all root systems including $BC_n$ case and related Koornwinder polynomials. Moreover, we apply it for a certain deformation of $A_n$ root system where the previously known methods do not work.

description: Three new acetophenones, named cynwilforones A–C (1–3), together with cynandione A (4) were isolated from the root bark of Cynanchum wilfordii (Maxim.) Hemsl. Their structures were deduced based on spectroscopic analysis and chemical methods. Compounds 1 and 4 exhibited potential hypoglycemic effects through inhibition of hepatic gluconeogenesis by down-regulating the expression of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase and glucose-6-phosphatase. This is the first report that acetophenones from the root bark of C. wilfordii possesses potential hypoglycemic activity in vitro.
Signatures of microscopic black holes and extra dimensions at future neutrino telescopes

description: In scenarios with large extra dimensions (LEDs), the fundamental Planck scale can be low enough that collisions between high-energy particles may produce microscopic black holes. High-energy cosmic neutrinos can carry energies much larger than a PeV, opening the door to a higher energy range than Earth-based colliders. Here, for the first time, we identify a number of unique signatures of microscopic black holes as they would appear in the next generation of large-scale neutrino observatories such as IceCube-Gen2 and the Pacific Ocean Neutrino Explorer. These signatures include new event topologies, energy distributions, and unusual ratios of hadronic-to-electronic energy deposition, visible through Cherenkov light echos due to delayed neutron recombination. We find that the next generation of neutrino telescopes can probe LEDs with a Planck scale up to 6 TeV, though the identification of unique topologies could push their reach even further.

description: The Chinese food economy has undergone significant reforms affecting the production, consumption and trade of food over the past 15 years. This paper seeks to analyse the changes that have occurred in the structure of the Chinese food industries and to provide insights on the current market structure. The grains industry is used to demonstrate that, although free market supply and demand forces play an increasing role in the food industries, the government continues to fundamentally shape the structure of these industries through its involvement in the purchase and sale of outputs and inputs. An attempt is made to explore the implications of the analysis for model building and empirical work.

description: In natural hazard emergencies, visual media (images, videos) document and convey the possible risk, impact, and severity of the hazard. Issues arise when the visuals being circulated, at scale and speed, are manipulated, fake, or are from an unrelated event or location. These problematic visuals can impact how communities interpret the risk of an emergency. Further, when visual media present information (i.e. a cue) in conflict with what an emergency services agency is instructing the public to do, it can lead to uncertainty and confusion in the community on how to act. This research identifies four specific types of problematic visual media that are common to natural hazard emergencies in Australia. We propose a combination of reactive and proactive strategies that can be employed by emergency services agencies to manage the extent and impact of these problematic visuals.
The hadronic contribution to the running of the electromagnetic coupling and the electroweak mixing angle

description: The electromagnetic coupling $α$ and the electroweak mixing angle $θ_{\mathrm{W}}$ are parameters of the Standard Model (SM) that enter precision SM tests and play a fundamental rôle in beyond SM physics searches. Their values are energy dependent, and non-perturbative hadronic contributions are the main source of uncertainty to the theoretical knowledge of the running with energy. We present a lattice study of the leading hadronic contribution to the running of $α$ and $\sin^2θ_{\mathrm{W}}$. The former is related to the hadronic vacuum polarization (HVP) function of electromagnetic currents, and the latter to the HVP mixing of the electromagnetic current with the vector part of the weak neutral currents. We use the time-momentum representation (TMR) method to compute the HVP on the lattice, estimating both connected and disconnected contributions on $N_{\mathrm{f}}=2+1$ non-perturbatively $O(a)$-improved Wilson fermions ensembles from the Coordinated Lattice Simulations (CLS) initiative. The use of different lattice spacings and quark masses allows us to reliably extrapolate the results to the physical point.

Josephson current in superconductor-ferromagnet structures with a nonhomogeneous magnetization

description: We calculate the dc Josephson current $I_J$ for two types of superconductor-ferromagnet (S/F) Josephson junctions. The junction of the first type is a S/F/S junction. On the basis of the Eilenberger equation, the Josephson current is calculated for an arbitrary impurity concentration. If $% hτ\ll1$ the expression for the Josephson critical current $I_c$ is reduced to that which can be obtained from the Usadel equation ($h$ is the exchange energy, $τ$ is the momentum relaxation time). In the opposite limit $hτ\gg1$ the superconducting condensate oscillates with period $% v_F/h$ and penetrates into the F region over distances of the order of the mean free path $l$. For this kind of junctions we also calculate $I_J$ in the case when the F layer presents a nonhomogeneous (spiral) magnetic structure with the period $2π/Q$. It is shown that for not too low temperatures, the $π$-state which occurs in the case of a homogeneous magnetization (Q=0) may disappear even at small values of $Q$. In this nonhomogeneous case, the superconducting condensate has a nonzero triplet component and can penetrate into the F layer over a long distance of the order of $ξ_{T}=% \sqrt{D/2πT}$. The junction of the second type consists of two S/F bilayers separated by a thin insulating film. It is shown that the critical Josephson current $I_{c}$ depends on the relative orientation of the effective exchange field $h$ of the bilayers. In the case of an antiparallel orientation, $I_{c}$ increases with increasing $h$. We establish also that in the F film deposited on a superconductor, the Meissner current created by the internal magnetic field may be both diamagnetic or paramagnetic.
