description: The Sustainable Value method is a promising approach for accessing sustainability performance of a given activity using the concept of opportunity cost and the performance of a given benchmark. In this study the performance of the Hungarian agriculture is studied. Using FADN data for the period of 2002-2006, the possible effect of the EU accession on agricultural production is examined. Structural, economic and human factors are considered in order to gain better understanding of the differences.
The geometrical pattern of the evolution of cooperation in the Spatial Prisoner's Dilemma: an intra-group model
Creators: name: Soares, Ricardo Oliveira dos Santos

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The Prisoner's Dilemma (PD) deals with the cooperation/defection conflict between two agents. The agents are represented by a cell of $L \times L$ square lattice. The agents are initially randomly distributed according to a certain proportion $ρ_c(0)$ of cooperators. Each agent does not have memory of previous behaviors and plays the PD with eight nearest neighbors and then copies the behavior of who had the greatest payoff for next generation. This system shows that, when the conflict is established, cooperation among agents may emerge even for reasonably high defection temptation values. Contrary to previous studies, which treat mean inter-group interaction, here a model where the agents are not allowed to self-interact, representing intra-group interaction, is proposed. This leads to short time and asymptotic behaviors similar to the one found when self-interaction is considered. Nevertheless, the intermediate behavior is different, with no possible data collapse since oscillations are present. Also, the fluctuations are much smaller in the intra-group model. The geometrical configurations of cooperative clusters are distinct and explain the $ρ_c(t)$ differences between inter and intra-group models. The boundary conditions do not affect the results.

Adaptive inventory control heuristics for non-stationary demand
Creators: name: Jha, Sumant Kumar
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The objective of the current research is to develop an inventory algorithm that determines the ordering periods and the corresponding order quantities for nonstationary demand. The inventory system is a periodic review with lost sales. We propose a heuristic, Wagner Whiting Plus Forecast (WWPF), in which the forecasts are revised and the parameters for inventory control policy parameters are updated periodically. The demand process is non-stationary with a linear trend. The cost function is constituted by a fixed setup cost and a proportional holding cost. In each period, safety stocks are added to the forecast and the dynamic lot sizing is done as per the Wagner-Whitin algorithm. The proposed heuristic is compared with an adaptive (s, S) policy proposed by Axsater (2000). Both WWPF algorithm and Axsater's heuristic determine inventory parameters for demand data with trend, in a reasonable way. WWPF algorithm exhibits a marginal improvement over Axsater's heuristic and can be recommended for inventory control in practical settings. WWPF algorithm can address seasonality, by using seasonal forecast models, such as Holt-Winters. Moreover, WWPF algorithm is independent of the forecasting method and it can be modeled with other forecasting methods, too.

description: Most currently used approximations for the one-particle Green's function G in the framework of many-body perturbation theory, such as Hedin's GW approximation or the cumulant GW+C approach, are based on a linear response approximation for the screened interaction W. The extent to which such a hypothesis is valid and ways to go beyond have been explored only very little. Here we show how to derive a cumulant Green's function beyond linear-response from the equation of motion of the Green's function in a functional derivative formulation. The results can be written in a compact form, which opens the possibility to calculate the corrections in a first principles framework using time-dependent density functional theory. In order to illustrate the potential importance of the corrections, numerical results are presented for a model system with a core level and two valence orbitals.

description: Although until recently, «word formation» has historically been studied in disciplines such as grammar and lexicology, at present it is recognized as a separate department, level, and even system. For this reason, we are witnessing a growing interest in this area not only in foreign, but also in Uzbek studies. Given that each language has its own unique characteristics, it was always important to conduct a comparative analysis of a particular language phenomenon using the example of two languages, as well as to identify similarities or differences between the compared languages. Based on these facts, we devoted this article to the study of the "word-formation system" of the German and Uzbek languages. Throughout the study, we focused on “word-formation units”, classified and analyzed them in a comparative aspect.

description: Objective of this paper is to compare different measurement concepts for sustainability at farm level in Germany: a) Sustainable Value Approach (SV), b) Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and c) indicator approaches close to KUL (Criteria for an Ecologically Compatible Land Management). The mathematical programming model FARMIS is extended wrt the underlying subject and applied for quantitative analysis. Indicators based on physical inputs are calculated based on monetary data of national FADN data. The methods are applied to a sample of about 4000 representative dairy farms. Results of SV are given in both absolute values and return-to-cost ratios which take farm size into account. Considering relationships between methods we found out that correlation between DEA and SV results are higher than 0.75. The indicator methods show correlations with the other approaches of more than 0.5 for economic indicators but a rather low correlation for ecological indicators. Further we identified characteristics of farms with high efficiency and sustainable performance. In order to show differences of used methods results are given by regions, size classes and orientation of production. Results indicate that bigger farms generate higher Sustainable Value. Farms in less favourable areas show a lower performance with regard to Sustainable Value and efficiency than farms located in other areas.

description: We have introduced defects into clean samples of the organic superconductor $κ$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$Cu(SCN)$_2$ in order to determine their effect on the temperature dependence of the conductivity and the critical temperature $T_{\rm c}$. We find a violation of Matthiessen's rule that can be explained by a model of the conductivity involving a defect-assisted interlayer channel which acts in parallel with the band-like conductivity. We observe an unusual dependence of $T_{\rm c}$ on residual resistivity which is not consistent with the generalised Abrikosov-Gor'kov theory for an order parameter with a single component, providing an important constraint on models of the superconductivity in this material.

Agent based modeling
model selection

description: Agent based models of financial markets follow different approaches
and might be categorized according to major building blocks used.
Such building blocks include agent design, agent evolution, and the price
finding mechanism. The performance of agent based models in matching key
features of real market processes depends on how these building blocks are
selected and combined. For model comparison, both, measures of model fit
and model complexity are required. Some suggestions are made on how to
measure complexity of agent based models. An application for the foreign
exchange market illustrates the potential of this approach.

description: Agricultural policy makers aim to combine strong economic performance with a sustainable use of natural resources. An important step is to move from trying to define sustainability towards developing concrete tools for measuring and promoting achievements in sustainability. Hence, sustainability assessment is inevitably based on strong simplifications both of the theoretical paradigm and of the characteristics of systems of concern. The most known approaches to assess sustainability performance are burden orientated : they assess the costs or potential harm of resource use. These burden-oriented approaches focus on the level of environmental impacts caused by an economic activity compared to another set of environmental impacts, while value-oriented impact assessment analyses how much value has been created with this set of environmental impacts as compared with the use of these resources by other companies. In this paper, an outline of the possibilities and limitations of value-oriented methods to assess farm sustainability will be discussed.
Global Energetics of Solar Flares. XII. Energy Scaling Laws

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

description: In this study we test 30 variants of 5 physical scaling laws that describe different aspects of solar flares. We express scaling laws in terms of the magnetic potential field energy $E_p$, the mean potential field strength $B_p$, the free energy $E_{free}$, the dissipated magnetic flare energy $E_{diss}$, the mean loop length scale $L$, the mean helically twisted flux tube radius $R$, the sunspot radius $r$, the emission measure-weighted flare temperature $T_w$, the electron density $n_e$, and the total emission measure $EM$, measured from a data set of $\lapprox 400$ GOES M- and X-class flare events. The 5 categories of physical scaling laws include (i) a scaling law of the potential-field energy, (ii) a scaling law for helical twisting, (iii) a scaling law for Petschek-type magnetic reconnection, (iv) the Rosner-Tucker-Vaiana scaling law, and (v) the Shibata-Yokoyama scaling law. We test the self-consistency of these theoretical scaling laws with observed parameters by requiring two conditions: a cross-corrleation coefficient of CCC$>$0.5 between the observed and theoretically predicted scaling laws, and a linear regression fit with a slope of $α\approx 1$. With these two criteria we find that 10 out of the 30 tested scaling law variants are consistent with the observed data, which strongly corroborates the existence and validity of the tested flare scaling laws.

description: We describe closed string modes by open Wilson lines in noncommutative (NC) gauge theories on compact fuzzy G/H in IIB matrix model. In this construction the world sheet cut-off is related to the spacetime cut-off since the string bit of the symmetric traced Wilson line carries the minimum momentum on G/H. We show that the two point correlation functions of graviton type Wilson lines in 4 dimensional NC gauge theories behave as 1/(momentum)^2. This result suggests that graviton is localized on D3-brane, so we can naturally interpret D3-branes as our universe. Our result is not limited to D3-brane system, and we generalize our analysis to other dimensions and even to any topology of D-brane worldvolume within fuzzy G/H.

description: In some important multi-player situations, such as efforts to supply a
global public good, players can choose the game they want to play. In this
paper we conduct an experimental test of the decision to choose between a
“tipping” game, in which every player wants to contribute to the public
good provided enough other players contribute, and a prisoners’ dilemma,
the classic cooperation game. In the prisoners’ dilemma, the first best
outcome is attainable, but cannot be sustained as a Nash equilibrium. In
the tipping game, only a second best outcome may be attainable, but there
exists a Nash equilibrium that is strictly preferred to the one in the
prisoners’ dilemma. We show that groups do significantly better when
they choose the tipping game, and yet many groups repeatedly choose the
prisoners’ dilemma, indicating a mistaken and persistent tendency to
prefer a game with potentially higher payoffs to one having a strategic
advantage.
Effect of Confinement on Solvent-driven Infiltration of Polymer (SIP) into Nanoparticle Packings

description: Nanocomposite films containing a high volume fraction (> 50vol%) of nanoparticles (NPs) in a polymer matrix are promising for their functionality and use as structural coatings, and also provide a unique platform to understand polymer behavior under strong confinement. Previously, we developed a novel technique to fabricate such nanocomposites at room temperature using solvent-driven infiltration of polymer (SIP) into NP packings. In the SIP process, a bilayer made of an underlying polymer film and a dense packing of NPs is exposed to solvent vapor which induces condensation of the solvent into the voids of the packing. The condensed solvent plasticizes the underlying polymer film, inducing polymer infiltration into the solvent-filled voids in the NP packing. In this work, we study the effect of confinement on the kinetics of SIP and the final partitioning of polymer into the interstices of the NP packing. We find that, while the dynamics of infiltration during SIP are strongly dependent on confinement, the final extent of infiltration is independent of confinement. The time for infiltration obeys a power law with confinement, as defined by the ratio of the chain size and the pore size. Qualitatively, the observed time scale is attributed to changes in concentration regimes as infiltration proceeds, which lead to shifting characteristic length scales in the system over time. When the concentration in the pore exceeds the critical overlap concentration, the characteristic length scale of the polymer is no longer that of the entire chain, but rather the correlation length, which is smaller than the pore size. Therefore, at long times, the extent of infiltration is independent of the confinement ratio. Furthermore, favorable surface interactions between the polymer and the nanoparticles enhance partitioning into the NP packing.

description: We examine the effects of money priming and solidarity on individual behavior in three simple experiments: dictator game, ultimatum game, and prisoner’s dilemma. Our study comprises two money treatments and two neutral (control) treatments. Additionally, we control for the strength of social ties between experimental participants. Although our priming procedure is sufficient to remind people of the concept of money, it is not sufficient to induce systematically different behavior of the treatment groups compared to the control groups. Moreover, we do not find any significant differences between groups with strong vs. weak social ties. Since our findings contradict previous research, it calls for further investigation on the topic of how money priming influences economic behavior.

Policy preferences for inheritance taxation

description: We provide a comprehensive empirical study on the factors that drive citizens’ policy preferences regarding inheritance taxation. It builds on a representative survey among more than 1.000 German citizens in 2014 and 2015. Support for inheritance taxation is found to be driven by monetary self-interest and redistributive preferences. It is lower among females and among subjects who overestimate the tax burden. We look beyond the narrow scope of inheritances and account for other forms of transfers in the family, in particular the provision of longterm care. More than 75 percent of our respondents consider it fair that family members who provided long-term care receive higher inheritances in exchange. This fairness preference does not drive policy preferences, but acceptance for inheritance taxation is higher among subjects who expect the typical German family to reward intrafamilial care-giving through a higher inheritance.

description: It is shown that a (curved) projective structure on a smooth manifold determines on the Poisson algebra of smooth, fiberwise-polynomial functions on the cotangent bundle a one-parameter family of graded star products. For a particular value of the parameter (corresponding to half-densities) the star product is symmetric, and specializes in the projectively flat case to the one constructed previously by C. Duval, P. Lecomte, and V. Ovsienko. A limiting form of this family of star products yields a commutative deformation of the symmetric tensor algebra of the manifold. A basic ingredient of the proofs is the construction of projectively invariant multilinear operators on bundles of weighted symmetric k-vectors. The construction works except for a discrete set of excluded weights and generalizes the Rankin-Cohen brackets of modular forms.

description: Use of un-treated/partially treated wastewater for irrigation in the dry countries of Asia and Africa and recycling of treated wastewater in the water scarce developed countries has become a common practice due to various reasons. While the lack of wastewater treatment to appropriate levels before use is a major problem in developing countries, the high cost of wastewater recycling is the major problem in developed countries. The current paper is part of a doctoral research and presents the conceptual framework for the research and the methodology that can be used to tackle the problems associated with wastewater recycling.

description: We have obtained Integral Field Spectroscopy for 23 spiral bulges using INTEGRAL on the William Herschel Telescope and SPIRAL on the Anglo-Australian Telescope. This is the first 2D survey directed solely at the bulges of spiral galaxies. Eleven galaxies of the sample do not have previous measurements of the stellar velocity dispersion (sigma*). These data are designed to complement our Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph program for estimating black hole masses in the range 10^6-10^8M_sun using gas kinematics from nucleated disks. These observations will serve to derive the stellar dynamical bulge properties using the traditional Mgb and CaII triplets. We use both Cross Correlation and Maximum Penalized Likelihood to determine projected sigma* in these systems and present radial velocity fields, major axis rotation curves, curves of growth and sigma* fields. Using the Cross Correlation to extract the low order 2D stellar dynamics we generally see coherent radial rotation and irregular velocity dispersion fields suggesting that sigma* is a non-trivial parameter to estimate.

description: This research examines the effect of risk on the proportion of equity held by agricultural cooperatives. The measured components of risk are business risk and the financial risk that is dependent on the proportion of debt in the cooperative's capital structure. The empirical results indicate the proportion of equity is inversely related to financial risk and positively related to business risk. These risk effects are estimated to differ based on the commodity handled by the cooperative. No Significant relation between the proportion of equity and whether or not the cooperative operates on a pooling basis is estimated.

description: We provide an empirical analysis of the factors that drive expenditures on primary and secondary education in Indonesian districts. We use a panel-data set covering 398 districts between 2005 and 2012. We account for the impact of socio-economic, political and geographical factors on expenditures per pupil and on the share of the overall budget spent on education. Our results are in line studies from other countries showing that educational expenditures are rising in the municipalities’ fiscal capacity. Landlocked districts are found to spend less on education than non-landlocked ones. We find some support for the notion that the share of educational expenditures in total expenditures increases in the demand for education, though our indicators for demand are not associated with higher expenditures per pupil. Somewhat surprisingly, the characteristics of the local municipal council do not influence educational expenditures.

description: Nudges, i.e., low-cost interventions that steer people’s behavior without compromising their freedom of choice, are the key contribution of ‘Libertarian Paternalism’ (LP) to public policy. They typically work through either harnessing or responding to people’s cognitive biases and heuristics – which is why they have been criticized for being manipulative and for compromising personal autonomy. We argue, though, that (i) nudging hardly compromises autonomy, properly understood, and that (ii) it rather risks undermining people’s agency, i.e., their ability to engage in creative self-constitution over time. This reorientation has farranging implications for the ethics of behavioral policies in general and LP in particular.

description: Which behavior-based interventions are more appropriate to induce energy saving: energy saving goals with or without incentive, energy saving products, environmentally related information, social comparison or competition? We try to answer this question in a comprehensive study. First, we designed energy bills with different behavioral interventions. Second, we evaluated their appropriateness in an empirical survey with 457 participants. Third, we tested behavioral consequences in real effort lab experiments with 550 subjects in 11 treatments and one baseline. Our results indicate that monetary incentives to save energy might foster the intention to invest effort in energy saving but backfire if factual performance is required. Instead, fostering non-incentivized self-set goals and providing social comparison induced substantial effort to protect the environment. Non-incentivized competition to save energy provided the best results. Our study concludes with implications for practical policy design and further need of research.
The Hubble Space Telescope's near-UV and optical transmission spectrum of Earth as an exoplanet

description: We observed the 2019 January total lunar eclipse with the Hubble Space Telescope's STIS spectrograph to obtain the first near-UV (1700-3200 $Å$) observation of Earth as a transiting exoplanet. The observatories and instruments that will be able to perform transmission spectroscopy of exo-Earths are beginning to be planned, and characterizing the transmission spectrum of Earth is vital to ensuring that key spectral features (e.g., ozone, or O$_3$) are appropriately captured in mission concept studies. O$_3$ is photochemically produced from O$_2$, a product of the dominant metabolism on Earth today, and it will be sought in future observations as critical evidence for life on exoplanets. Ground-based observations of lunar eclipses have provided the Earth's transmission spectrum at optical and near-IR wavelengths, but the strongest O$_3$ signatures are in the near-UV. We describe the observations and methods used to extract a transmission spectrum from Hubble lunar eclipse spectra, and identify spectral features of O$_3$ and Rayleigh scattering in the 3000-5500 Å region in Earth's transmission spectrum by comparing to Earth models that include refraction effects in the terrestrial atmosphere during a lunar eclipse. Our near-UV spectra are featureless, a consequence of missing the narrow time span during the eclipse when near-UV sunlight is not completely attenuated through Earth's atmosphere due to extremely strong O$_3$ absorption and when sunlight is transmitted to the lunar surface at altitudes where it passes through the O$_3$ layer rather than above it.

description: Previous authors have calculated the mass function of primordial black holes only on scales which are well outside the horizon at the end of inflation. Here we extend the calculation to sub-horizon scales, on which the density perturbation never becomes classical. Regarding the formation of black holes as a `measurement' of the (high peaks) of the density perturbation, we estimate a mass function by assuming that black holes form as soon as inflation ends, in those rare regions where the Bardeen potential exceeds a threshold value of $Psi_c\simeq 0.5$.

description: Firms may seek contractual alternatives to vertical integration in order to achieve transactional economies or adjust for market imperfections. Blair and Kaserman have shown that under fixed-proportions production technology. Firms within bilateral and successive monopoly market structures can use formula price contracts to achieve results economically equivalent to integration. This paper examines whether formula price contracts are a viable alternative to forward integration for farmer cooperatives. Analysis of a three-stage vertical market structure indicates that the conditions under which a cooperative assembler can use a formula price contract are more restrictive than those for an investor-owned firm.
Onset of spontaneous scalarization in spinning Gauss-Bonnet black holes

description: It has recently been proved numerically that spinning black holes in Einstein-scalar theories which are characterized by a non-minimal negative coupling of the scalar field to the Gauss-Bonnet invariant of the curved spacetime may develop exponentially growing instabilities. Intriguingly, it has been demonstrated that this tachyonic instability, which marks the onset of the spontaneous scalarization phenomenon in the Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet-scalar theory, characterizes spinning black holes whose dimensionless angular momentum parameter ${\bar a}\equiv a/M$ is larger than some critical value ${\bar a}_{\text{crit}}\simeq0.505$. In the present paper we prove, using {\it analytical} techniques, that the critical rotation parameter which marks the boundary between bald Kerr black holes and hairy (scalarized) spinning black holes in the Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet-scalar theory is given by the exact dimensionless relation ${\bar a}_{\text{crit}}={1\over 2}$.

The development of a motivational distortion scale for use with the counterproductivity scale of the California Psychological Inventory
Creators: name: Ng, Ee-Ling
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: A sample of 250 undergraduates was administered the California Psychological Inventory (CPI), Form 434, on two separate occasions, under two separate conditions—(a) in which they were to respond honestly, and (b) where they were to respond as if being considered for a job they valued. Four different indices were used to assess a subject's change in responses, between the two conditions, on a CPI-based counterproductivity (CPI-Cp) scale. Using a composite of these four indices as a criterion measure of motivational distortion, a 56-item CPI-based motivational distortion scale (CPI-MD) was developed on the basis of item-total correlations with this criterion. Internal consistency and test-retest reliability estimates of the CPI-MD scale ranged between .72 and .86. Correlations with NEO PI-R domain and facet scale provided evidence of construct validity. The CPI-MD scale was used to develop an adjustment equation to correct CPI-Cp scale scores for motivational distortion. Adjusted CPI-Cp scores manifested somewhat different correlations with other personality variables than did scores on the original CPI-Cp scale, and an assessment of criterion-related validity for various job-related criteria in two separate workplace samples showed significant increases, for the adjusted scale, in validity in one sample.

description: Competition law compliance has become increasingly important in the banking industry as the number of infringements and the associated fines imposed by the European Commission are rising. This article shows that not only governments and regulators, but also shareholders and managers, should be interested in managing antitrust risks in banks in order to avoid competition law infringements. Therefore, this article sets out an approach to assessing the residual risk of antitrust non-compliance as well as the costs associated with such conduct, in order to be able to identify the required intensity of risk management activities. It also shows how antitrust risk management can be implemented in banks’ governance structures using the Three Lines of Defence model and the COSO ERM framework. As a result, it demonstratesn how to integrate antitrust risk management activities into existing structures and processes, thus improving the efficiency and effectiveness of overall risk management, in particular antitrust risk management.

description: This research explores the factors that influence the commitment of members to their cooperative organization. Previous empirical and theoretical research is reviewed. The cooperative members' decisions regarding patronage are then described in terms of a random utility model. Logit analysis, with data from member surveys of a large grain marketing cooperative. indicates that the factors that influence member patronage are: the ability to share in profits through dividends. The ability to purchase chemicals and fertilizers at the grain elevator, and the percentage of the total farm income obtained from grain operations. There is some evidence that farmers' patronage is positively associated with competitive grain pricing and negatively associated with the firm being active in the community. Additional analysis reveals that the age of the farmer significantly affects the importance the member places on the ability to share in profits through dividends.

description: The earliest state cooperative laws in the United States were stock laws modeled upon the Rochdale experience and were adaptations of basic corporate laws of incorporation to the cooperative form of organization. They emphasized stock as the basis of membership and the distribution of profits to members in proportion to patronage. After 1911, the dominant form of cooperative law became the nonstock law. which emphasized service at cost and the personal. fraternal nature of membership in a cooperative. Since 1925. both forms of cooperative law have coexisted. The different emphasis placed on capital stock. profit. and membership in a cooperative by the two different legal structures may be one contributing factor to current dilemmas cooperative leaders face in generating and rewarding equity capital.
