description: In this paper, we study the impact of acquiring equity shares in intermediaries on ex- port performance. We develop a trade model with vertically linked industries where the decisions to export and to own its intermediary are endogenous that we test on French data at the firm level. We show that: forward acquisition enables manufacturers to man- age the double marginalization problem and to enjoy lower costs to foreign market access, so that the probability of exporting and export sales are higher for a firm with a par- ticipation in intermediaries. In addition, vertical ownership creates a market externality among manufacturers due to a reallocation of market shares from small firms to large firms forcing some low-productivity firms to exit from foreign markets.

description: The Shubnikov - de Haas effect in quasi-two-dimensional normal metals is studied. The interlayer conductivity is calculated using the Kubo formula. The electron scattering on short-range is considered in the self-consistent Born approximation. The result obtained differs from that derived from the Boltzmann transport equation. This difference is shown to be a general feature of conductivity in magnetic field. A detailed description of the two new qualitative effects -- the field-dependent phase shift of beats and of the slow oscillations of conductivity is provided. The results obtained are applicable to strongly anisotropic organic metals and to other quasi-two-dimensional compounds.

description: It is well acknowledged that the entrepreneurship is important to economic development. In this paper, we suggest a gender-related determinant of entrepreneurship, local sex imbalance. Using a 2009 rural finance survey, we examine how this imbalance influences the venturing at the household level in China. We find that households with a son in more sex-imbalanced villages are more likely to have a business. Further examination reveals that these households have any advantage in borrowing.

Thermal Conductivity near H_c2 for spin-triplet superconducting States with line nodes in Sr_2RuO_4

Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We calculate the thermal conductivity kappa in magnetic fields near H_c2 for spin-triplet superconducting states with line nodes vertical and horizontal relative to the RuO_2-planes. The method for calculating the Green's functions takes into account the spatial variation of the order parameter and superconducting flow for the Abrikosov vortex lattice. For in-plane magnetic field we obtain variations of the in-plane kappa with two-fold symmetry as a function of rotation angle where the minima and maxima occur for field directions parallel and perpendicular to the heat flow. The amplitude of the variation decreases with increasing impurity scattering and temperature. At higher temperatures the minima and maxima of the variation are interchanged. Since the results for vertical and horizontal line nodes are almost the same we cannot say which of the two pairing models is more compatible with recent measurements of kappa in Sr_2RuO_4. The observed four-fold modulation of kappa in YBa_2Cu_3O_(7-δ) is obtained for d-wave pairing by taking into account the particular shape of the Fermi surface and the finite temperature effect. The results for kappa for the f-wave pairing state with horizontal line nodes disagree in some respects with the measurements on UPt_3.

description: Electronic properties and lattice dynamics of bulk $\varepsilon$-GaSe and mono-, bi- and tri-tetralayer GaSe are investigated by means of density functional and density functional perturbation theory. The few-tetralayers systems are semiconductors with an indirect nature of the fundamental band gap and a Mexican-hat-shape is observed at the top of the valence band. The phonon branches analysis reveals the dynamical stability for all systems considered together with the LO-TO splitting breakdown in two-dimensional systems. In-plane (E) and out-of-plane (A) zone-center lattice vibrations dominate the Raman and IR spectra.

description: Fractional green vegetation cover (FVC) is a useful indicator for monitoring grassland status. Satellite imagery with coarse spatial but high temporal resolutions has been preferred to monitor seasonal and inter-annual FVC dynamics in wide geographic area such as Mongolian steppe. However, the coarse spatial resolution can cause a certain uncertainty in the satellite-based FVC estimation, which calls attention to develop a robust statistical test for the relationship between field FVC and satellite-derived vegetation indices. In the arid and semi-arid Mongolian steppe, nadir pointing digital camera images (DCI) were collected and used to produce a FVC dataset to support the evaluation of satellite-based FVC retrievals. An optimal DCI processing method was determined with respect to three color spaces (RGB, HIS, L*a*b*) and six green pixel classification algorithms, from which a country-wide dataset of DCI-FVC was produced and used for evaluating the accuracy of satellite-based FVC estimates from MODIS vegetation indices. We applied three empirical and three semi-empirical MODIS-FVC retrieval models. DCI data were collected from 96 sites across the Mongolian steppe from 2012 to 2014. The histogram algorithm using the hue (H) value of the HIS color space was the optimal DCI method (r2 = 0.94, percent root-mean-square-error (RMSE) = 7.1%). For MODIS-FVC retrievals, semi-empirical Baret model was the best-performing model with the highest r2 (0.69) and the lowest RMSE (49.7%), while the lowest MB (+1.1%) was found for the regression model with normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI). The high RMSE (>50% or so) is an issue requiring further enhancement of satellite-based FVC retrievals accounting for key plant and soil parameters relevant to the Mongolian steppe and for scale mismatch between sampling and MODIS data.

description: In this article, I analyze the most recent Russian video poetry as an amplification and semantic enrichment of the classic literature paradigm. My thesis is that new visual poetry produces a subtle, polysemous – but at the same time striking – political message within a synthetic artistic framework. I show how recent Russian social (also to be called political) poetry is developing what I call the aesthetics of environmental non-division. I focus on the art collective “The Group of Esfir’ Shub,” which was founded in 2017 by the artist and designer Polina Zaslavskaia. The group’s synthetic method of working with poems generates a “tropic connection between the text and the video,” which correlates or even confronts direct and figurative sign meanings of different media with each other. “Esfir’ Shub” emphasizes one of the essential features of new social poetry ‒ the problematization of corporeality as a phenomenon belonging to organic, living material, which affects the very character of subjectivity. The project “Esfir’ Shub” is situated on the border between visual eco-art and social poetry. What is more important, it represents new trends in Russian engaged aesthetics, which I call biopoetics ‒ a notion which has been intensely discussed in the last two decades.
The dynamics of the outer edge of Saturn's A ring perturbed by the satellites Janus and Epimetheus

description: We present an analytical model to study the dynamics of the outer edge of Saturn's A ring. The latter is influenced by 7:6 mean motion resonances with Janus and Epimetheus. Because of the horseshoe motion of the two co-orbital moons, the ring edge particles are alternately trapped in a corotation eccentricity resonance (CER) or a Lindblad eccentricity resonance (LER). However, the resonance oscillation periods are longer than the 4-year interval between the switches in the orbits of Janus and Epimetheus. Averaged equations of motion are used, and our model is numerically integrated to describe the effects of the periodic sweeping of the 7:6 CERs and LERs over the ring edge region. We show that four radial zones (ranges 136715-136723, 136738-136749, 136756-136768, 136783-136791 km) are chaotic on decadal timescales, within which particle semi-major axes have periodic changes due to partial libration motions around the CER fixed points. After a few decades, the maximum variation of semi-major axis is about 11 km (respectively 3 km) in the case of the CER with Janus (respectively Epimetheus). Similarly, particle eccentricities have partial oscillations forced by the LERs every 4 yr. For initially circular orbits, the maximum eccentricity reached is ~0.001. We apply our work to "Peggy", an object recently discovered at the ring edge, confirming that it is strongly perturbed by the Janus 7:6 LER. The CER has currently no effect on that body, nevertheless the fitted semi-major axes are just outside the chaotic zone of radial range 136756-136768 km.

description: We study a model of a photon mode dipole-coupled to a medium of two-level oscillators in a microcavity in the presence of dephasing processes introduced by coupling to external baths. Decoherence processes can be classified as pair-breaking or non-pair-breaking in analogy with magnetic or non-magnetic impurities in superconductors. In the absence of dephasing, the ground state of the model is a polariton condensate with a gap in the excitation spectrum. Increase of the pair-breaking parameter $γ$ reduces the gap, which becomes zero at a critical value $γ_{C1}$; for large $γ$, the conventional laser regime is obtained in a way that demonstrates its close analogy to a gapless superconductor. In contrast, weak non-pair-breaking processes have no qualitative effect on the condensate or the existence of a gap, although they lead to inhomogeneous broadening of the excitations.

description: The double-peaked emission-line galaxies has long been perceived as objects related with merging galaxies or other phenomena of disturbed dynamical activities, such as outflows and disk rotation. In order to find the connection between the unique activities happening in these objects and their stellar population physics, we study the stellar populations of the stacked spectra drawn from double-peaked emission-line galaxies in the Large Sky Area Multi-object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST) Data Release 4 (DR4) and Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 7 (DR7) database. We group the selected double-peaked emission-line objects into 10 different types of pairs based on the Baldwin-Phillips-Terlevich (BPT) diagnosis for each pair of blue-shifted and red-shifted components, and then stack the spectra of each group for analysis. The software STARLIGHT is employed to fit each stacked spectra, and the contributions of stars at different ages and metallicities are quantified for subsequent comparative study and analysis. To highlight the commonness and uniqueness in these double-peaked emitting objects, we compare the population synthesis results of the stacked spectra of double-peaked emission-line galaxies with that of their counterpart reference samples appearing single-peaked emission features. The reference sample are also selected from LAMOST DR4 and SDSS DR7 databases, respectively. From the comparison results, we confirm the strong correlations between the stellar populations and its spectral classes, and find that the double-peaked emitting phenomena is more likely to occur in the `older' stellar environment and the subgroups hosting different BPT components will show obvious heterogeneous star formation history.

description: Objectives: Suvorexant is a dual orexin receptor antagonist used for treating insomnia. The authors elucidated the safety profiles and clinical course of insomnia therapy with suvorexant under different initial treatment status seen in daily routine practice. Methods: Subgroup analysis of a post-marketing survey (PMS; 2015–2017) divided patients based on their initial treatment status with suvorexant into ‘hypnotic-naïve (Group N)’, ‘switching from a prior sleep medication (Group S),’ ‘add-on therapy (Group A),’ and ‘others (Group O).’ Results: Among 3248 patients analyzed in the PMS, the number of patients in Groups N, S, A, and O was 1946 (59.9%), 703 (21.6%), 536 (16.5%), and 63 (1.9%), respectively. The incidence of insomnia-related adverse drug reactions (ADRs) in Group S (5.3%) tended to be higher than that in Groups N (0.46%) and A (1.5%). Discontinuation rate due to an inadequate effect at 6 months in Group S (14.9%) tended to be higher than that in Groups N (9.6%) and A (10.4%). Conclusion: The results suggest that initiating suvorexant treatment after switching from other insomnia medication must require careful monitoring of insomnia-related ADRs, which might be due to abrupt discontinuation of the prior insomnia medication use.

description: Policy for agricultural extension services (AES) has been revitalized during the last phases of rural development policies (2007/2013), to empower human capital in agriculture. A wider package of measures aiming at improving the supply of extension at farm level is foreseen and financial resources have been allocated in all Italian regions, to strengthen the measures. The paper aims at testing whether such a high proportion of funding match high levels of utilization of services on behalf of the farms. By assimilating farmers to consumers of AES, the analysis proposes a classification of the farms on the basis of their propensity to consume services.

description: By utilizing symmetry analysis and electronic structure calculations, we investigated the low-temperature orthorhombic phase of Ag$_{2}$Se in ${\cal SG}$~17. In addition to the discovery of a nodal plane at $k_{z}=π$ protected by the joint operation of time-reversal (${\cal T}$) and the 2-fold screw rotation $S_{2z}$, we found 24 Weyl points mainly residing at the $k_{y}=0$ plane with notable Fermi arc and large quasiparticle interference pattern (QPI). Due to the absence of mirror symmetry, a pair of Weyl points with opposite chirality reside at different binding energies, which makes this system an excellent material candidate for realizing the novel chiral anomaly related phenomenon, such as the quantized circular photogalvanic and the chiral magnetic effects. Furthermore, we also reveal the striking spin textures at $k_{z}=π$ plane which demonstrates, in a large region of the surface Brillouin Zone, a direction-selective spin polarization, which has a strong implication to spintronic applications.

description: Single-molecule spin transport represents the lower limit of miniaturization of spintronic devices. These experiments, although extremely challenging, are key to understand the magneto-electronic properties of a molecule in a junction. In this context, theoretical screening of new magnetic molecules provides invaluable knowledge before carrying out sophisticated experiments. Herein, we investigate the transport properties of three equatorially low-coordinated erbium single ion magnets with $C_{3v}$ symmetry: Er[N(SiMe$_3$)$_2$]$_3$ (1), Er(btmsm)$_3$ (2) and Er(dbpc)$_3$ (3), where btmsm = bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl and dbpc = 2,6-di-tert-butyl-p-cresolate. Our ligand field analysis, based on previous spectroscopic data, confirms a ground state mainly characterized by $M_J$ =$\pm$15/2 in all three of them. The relaxation of their molecular structures when placed between two Au (111) electrodes leads to an even more symmetric $\sim D_{3h}$ environment, which ensures that these molecules would retain their single-molecule magnet behavior in the device setup. Hence, we simulate spin dependent transport using the DFT optimized structures on the basis of the non-equilibrium Green's function formalism, which, in 1 and 2, suggests a remarkable molecular spin filtering under the effect of an external magnetic field.
title: The L-dopa response in Parkinson's disease

Subjects: subject: Parkinsons, Levodopa, UPDRS, SPECT.

description: L-dopa is the most commonly prescribed drug for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Most patients benefit from this treatment as it can restore motor function but over time, a large proportion of patients report the manifestation of side effects. The L-dopa response is also a supportive criterion for the diagnosis of PD. This thesis aimed to explore the variation of responsiveness to L-dopa and to identify predictor variables for responsiveness. This was achieved by systematically reviewing pathological studies and case reports; analysing two large and longitudinal clinical cohort studies with focus on short- and long-term indicators of responsiveness; and the analysis of brain imaging data indicative of the degree of dopaminergic loss at different stages of the disease. The systematic review established a great variation in responsiveness to L-dopa, analysing pathologically confirmed cases where there is little to no doubt about diagnostic accuracy: 10% of definite Parkinson’s are unresponsive to L-dopa and 12% show a modest response. The clinical cohort analysis showed that current treatment management approaches lead to an overall lower prevalence of motor complications compared to earlier studies, even when L-dopa is introduced early-on. Motor fluctuations have the greatest impact on motor function but also on the patients’ abilities in everyday life situations. Investigating the short-term response showed an association of better motor function with the development of dyskinesia, and dyskinetic patients with a better response to challenge testing. Finally, SPECT imaging data showed a high residual activity of dopamine in early PD, and an association of lower putaminal uptake with higher medication doses at later stages of the disease. In conclusion, a lesser response to L-dopa should be considered as a definite phenomenon in a large proportion of PD patients. Assessing L-dopa responsiveness more widely, in clinical practice and clinical research would enhance both our understanding of patients and our interpretation of the effects of new drug treatments.

description: This paper deals with the social implications of ethanol expansion in Brazil. The evolution of the labor market in sugar cane production in the country is analyzed together with its regional patterns of expansion, to illustrate how the changes in the recent expansion are modifying the traditional pattern of labor demand in the activity. At the same time, the distributional effects of sugar cane expansion, as well as it´s impacts on food security and land use change was approached with the aid of general equilibrium simulation models. The analysis shows that both the average earnings and the average years of schooling in sugar cane production are actually higher than in general agriculture in Brazil, and that this is linked to the fast increase in production in Southeast and Center-west. Sugar cane production in those regions is more capital intensive and has much higher productivity than in other traditional regions in Northeast Brazil. The study concludes that the expansion in sugar cane production in the actual patterns is poverty friendly, and has small impacts on food prices and deforestation. The increase in the regional economic imbalances inside the country seems to be the problem to deserve attention.

Theoretical insights on the importance of anchoring vs molecular geometry in magnetic molecules acting as junctions

description: The anchoring of the molecule to an electrode is known to be a key factor in single-molecule spintronics experiments. Likewise, a relaxation down to the most stable geometry is a critical step in theoretical simulations of transport through single-molecule junctions. Herein we present a set of calculations designed to analyze and compare the effect of different anchoring points and the effect of perturbations in the molecular geometry and interelectrode distance. As model system we chose the [V($α$-C$_3$S$_5$)$_3$]$^{2-}$ complex connecting two Au(111) electrodes in a slightly compressed geometry. In our calculations, the attachment happens through an S-Au bond, a common anchoring strategy in molecular spintronics experiments. Our results confirm that small alterations in the molecular geometry have important effects in the conductance. We were able to compare these effects with the ones arising from changing the anchoring position with a constant molecular geometry. Unexpectedly, we demonstrate that the anchoring position has only a lesser relevance in the spintronic behavior of the device, as long as all other parameters are kept frozen. As a consequence, we predict that for experimentalists aiming for reproducibility, the molecular design of rigid linkers is more relevant than the design of univocal anchoring positions.

description: This essay applies a Cultural Studies-approach to the multi-facetted relationship between poetry and advertisement as it emerged in the first half of the 20th century in the United States and as it became visible on billboards by the roadside. Somewhat paradoxically, public poetry in advertising appeared all across the United States (predominantly along highways in rural areas) around the time that much of modernist American poetry was being declared a highly elitist and urban centric affair in the orbit of new criticism-scholarship at universities. My first case study addresses the iconic Burma-Shave Billboard Poetry Campaign (1929-1963) and its long-lasting influence on American (popular) culture – in literature, music, visual art. Prior to this campaign as well as on the heels of it, billboards and billboard poetry were taken up to a minor extent in poetry circles and literary criticism (where they continued to be mostly viewed with disdain) and to a larger extent by conceptual artists who used billboard aesthetics, slogans, and short (poetic) texts in installations mimicking and critiquing consumer culture. One of the most aesthetically innovative recent ‘returns’ of billboard poetry, however, is the one employed intra-diegetically in the Hollywood film “Three Billboards Outside of Ebbing, Missouri” (2017), my second case study. Here, the writing on the billboard-walls make those aspects explicit that have been submerged in the earlier rhymes by the roadside: While the playful, optimistic lines of advertisement imply, time and again, a happy white middle-class American family with a sober and well-shaved patriarch behind the wheel and thus gloss over the disavowed underside of mobility, the film makes the latent manifest and points to systemic / structural violence, such as a pervasive American rape ‘culture’ which is linked to the car and the mobility it offers. The film uses the billboard and its inscription as foil and as catalyst to address and to protest this and other forms of violence and thus presents an activist intervention in order to ask for more than merely poetic justice.

description: The findings of X-ray and neutron scattering experiments on amorphous systems are interpreted within the framework of the theory of Euclidean random matrices. This allows to take into account the topological nature of the disorder, a key ingredient which strongly affects the vibrational spectra of those systems. We present a resummation scheme for a perturbative expansion in the inverse particle density, allowing an accurate analytical computation of the dynamical structure factor within the range of densities encountered in real systems.

description: Paid crowdsourcing platforms suffer from low-quality work and unfair rejections, but paradoxically, most workers and requesters have high reputation scores. These inflated scores, which make high-quality work and workers difficult to find, stem from social pressure to avoid giving negative feedback. We introduce Boomerang, a reputation system for crowdsourcing that elicits more accurate feedback by rebounding the consequences of feedback directly back onto the person who gave it. With Boomerang, requesters find that their highly-rated workers gain earliest access to their future tasks, and workers find tasks from their highly-rated requesters at the top of their task feed. Field experiments verify that Boomerang causes both workers and requesters to provide feedback that is more closely aligned with their private opinions. Inspired by a game-theoretic notion of incentive-compatibility, Boomerang opens opportunities for interaction design to incentivize honest reporting over strategic dishonesty.
