description: This farm-level study in the Niger basin of Benin aims to assess the impacts of climate shocks on farm activities and to simulate adaptation policy responses using a recursive dynamic mathematical programming model. Eight types of farmers were identified, and the results show that the average farm income declines under climate shocks, by 17.43 to 69.48%, compared to the baseline scenario. Farmers of agro-ecological zone II will be affected the most by climate shocks, followed by those in agro-ecological zones III, I and IV. Moreover, land and labour shadow price declines over the years due to climate shocks and extreme events. Adaptation policies, namely (i) improved irrigation, (ii) better access to credit, (iii) research and development, and (iv) better access to the labour market, contribute to coping with the adverse impacts of climate shocks on farm income. However, the success of adaptation policies depends on the ability of policymakers to implement them.

description: We equip a knot $K$ with a set of colored bonds, that is, colored intervals properly embedded into $\mathbb{R}^3 \setminus K$. Such a construction can be viewed as a structure that topologically models a closed protein chain including any type of bridges connecting the backbone residues. We introduce an invariant of such colored bonded knots that respects the HOMFLYPT relation, namely the HOMFLYPT skein module of colored bonded knots. We show that the rigid version of the module is freely generated by colored $Θ$-curves and handcuff links, while the non-rigid version is freely generated by the trivially embedded $Θ$-curve. The latter module, however, does not provide information about the knottedness of the bonds.

description: The phenomenally large enhancement in conductivity observed when Li-doped MgO crystals are oxidized at elevated temperatures was investigated by dc and ac electrical measurements in the temperature interval 250-673 K. The concentration of ([Li]^{0}) centers (Li^{+} ions each with a trapped hole) resulting from oxidation was monitored by optical absorption measurements. Both dc and ac experiments provide consistent values for the bulk resistance. The electricalconductivity of oxidized MgO:Li crystals increases linearly with the concentration of ([Li]^{0}) centers. The conductivity is thermally activated with an activation energy of (0.70 +/- 0.01) eV, which is independent of the ([Li]^{0}) content. The \textit{standard semiconducting} mechanism satisfactorily explains these results. Free holes are the main contribution to band conduction as they are trapped at or released from the ([Li]^{0})-acceptor centers. In as-grown MgO:Li crystals, electrical current increases dramatically with time due to the formation of ([Li]^{0}) centers. The activation energy values between 1.3 and 0.7 eV are likely a combination of the activation energy for the creation of ([Li]^{0}) centers and the activation energy of ionization of these centers. Destruction of ([Li]^{0}) centers can be induced in oxidized crystals by application of an electric field due to Joule heating up to temperatures at which ([Li]^{0}) centers are not stable.

description: Countries with low marginal costs of abating carbon emissions may have high total costs, and vice versa, for a given climate mitigation policy. This may help to explain different countries’ policy stances on climate mitigation. We hypothesize that, under a common percentage cut in emissions intensity relative to business as usual (BAU), countries with higher BAU emission intensities have lower marginal abatement costs, but total costs relative to output will be similar across countries, and under a common carbon price, relative total costs are higher in emission-intensive countries. Using the results of the 22nd Energy Modeling Forum (EMF-22), we estimate marginal abatement cost curves for the US, EU, China and India, which we use to estimate marginal and total costs of abatement under a number of policy options currently under international debate. This analysis provides support for our hypotheses, although its reliability is limited by the shortcomings of the EMF-22 models and the degree to which our econometric model can adequately account for the substantial differences among them.
An evolution equation of the population genetics: relation to the density-matrix theory of quasiparticles with general dispersion laws

description: The Waxman-Peck theory of the population genetics is discussed in regard of soil bacteria. Each bacterium is understood as a carrier of a phenotypic parameter p. The central aim is the calculation of the probability density with respect to p of the carriers living at time t>0. The theory involves two small parameters: the mutation probability $μ$ and a parameter $γ$ involved in a function w(p) defining the fitness of the bacteria to survive the generation time $τ$ and give birth to offspring. The mutation from a state p to a state q is defined by a Gaussian. The author focuses attention on an equation generalizing Waxman's equation. The author solves this equation in the standard style of a perturbation theory and discusses how the solution depends on the choice of the fitness function w(p). In a sense, the function $c(p)=1-w(p)/w(0)$ is analogous to the dispersion function E(p) of fictitious quasiparticles. With a general function c(p), the distribution function ${\mathitΦ}(p,t;0)$ is composed of a delta-function component, $N(t)δ(p)$, and a blurred component. The author shows that asymptotically N(t) may tend to a positive value, in contrast with zero resulting from Waxman's approximation where $c(p)\sim p^2$.

description: We present the improved constraints on couplings of solar axions and more generic bosonic dark matter particles using 737.1 kg-days of data from the CDEX-1B experiment. The CDEX-1B experiment, located at the China Jinping Underground Laboratory, primarily aims at the direct detection of weakly interacting massive particles using a p-type point-contact germanium detector. We adopt the profile likelihood ratio method for analysis of data in the presence of backgrounds. An energy threshold of 160 eV was achieved, much better than the 475 eV of CDEX-1A with an exposure of 335.6 kg-days. This significantly improves the sensitivity for the bosonic dark matter below 0.8 keV among germanium detectors. Limits are also placed on the coupling $g_{Ae} < 2.48 \times 10^{-11}$ from Compton, bremsstrahlung, atomic-recombination and de-excitation channels and $g^{eff}_{AN} \times g_{Ae} < 4.14 \times 10^{-17}$ from a $^{57}$Fe M1 transition at 90\% confidence level.

description: The Australian Mushroom Growers Association (AMGA) has recently developed a revised marketing strategy to promote mushrooms using messages based on scientific findings about the nutrition and health consequences of regularly incorporating mushrooms into meals. This article evaluates impacts based on a test-market experiment in Tasmania. We use a difference-in-differences econometric methodology to quantify the programme-induced shifts in demand, and we use the resulting estimates in a supply and demand modelling framework to quantify the effects of promotion-induced demand shifts on prices, quantities, and measures of economic well-being. We estimate a conservative benefit–cost ratio for Tasmanian producers of 7.6:1 if they were to bear the entire cost and 11.4:1 if the programme were financed by a levy on production (or spawn). The aggregate benefit–cost ratio, including benefits to consumers is also 11.4:1. 1

Ziel der schulischen Bildung ist eine gute Allgemein-bildung. Leistungen werden durch Zeugnisse und Abschlüsse zertifiziert, die eine Befähigung für weitere Bildungsgänge geben. Jedoch ereignen sich Lernvorgänge nicht nur innerhalb des formalen Bildungs-systems. Auf Grundlage eines konstruktivistischen Lernverständnisses zeigt sich, dass das Lernen an außerschulischen Lernorten einen wertvollen Beitrag zu individuellen Lernprozessen leisten kann, da diese vielfältige Lernmöglichkeiten im Sinne des informellen Lernens bieten. In dieser Arbeit soll geklärt werden, auf welche Weise Museen – insbesondere Kunstmuseen – eine anregende Lernumgebung für vielfältiges Lernen bieten und welche Rahmenbedingungen gegeben sein müssen, damit der Museumsbesuch einen nachhaltigen Beitrag zur formalen Bildung leisten kann.

description: Bell nonlocality, the fact that local hidden variable models cannot reproduce the correlations obtained by measurements on entangled states, is a cornerstone in our modern understanding of quantum theory. Apart from its fundamental implications, nonlocality is also at the core of device-independent quantum information processing, which successful implementation is achieved without precise knowledge of the physical apparatus. Here we show that a stronger form of Bell nonlocality, for which even nonlocal hidden variable models cannot reproduce the quantum predictions, allows for the device-independent implementation of secret sharing, a paradigmatic communication protocol where a secret split amidst many possibly untrusted parts can only be decoded if they collaborate among themselves.

description: There are about 17 Lkh ponds covering 3 lakh acres in rural Bangladesh. A survey of 297 ponds in Mymensingh district revealed that a vast majority of the owners did not practice scientific fish culture due to multiplicity of ownership, lack of resources, unavailability of improved fish fries. Consequently fish output per acre was very low. Production of fresh water fish can, therefore, be increased to a considerable extent by ensuring scientific utilization of existing fish ponds.

description: Intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRSs) have emerged as a revolutionary solution to enhance wireless communications by changing propagation environment in a cost-effective and hardware-efficient fashion. In addition, symbol-level precoding (SLP) has attracted considerable attention recently due to its advantages in converting multiuser interference (MUI) into useful signal energy. Therefore, it is of interest to investigate the employment of IRS in symbol-level precoding systems to exploit MUI in a more effective way by manipulating the multiuser channels. In this paper, we focus on joint symbol-level precoding and reflecting designs in IRS-enhanced multiuser multiple-input single-output (MU-MISO) systems. Both power minimization and quality-of-service (QoS) balancing problems are considered. In order to solve the joint optimization problems, we develop an efficient iterative algorithm to decompose them into separate symbol-level precoding and block-level reflecting design problems. An efficient gradient-projection-based algorithm is utilized to design the symbol-level precoding and a Riemannian conjugate gradient (RCG)-based algorithm is employed to solve the reflecting design problem. Simulation results demonstrate the significant performance improvement introduced by the IRS and illustrate the effectiveness of our proposed algorithms.

description: Genus Globulocrinus nov.
Type species. Globulocrinus amphoraformis n. gen, n. sp.; lower Ypresian.
Etymology. In reference to the basal circlet of globular feature, at least in juveniles.
Diagnosis. More or less urn- or amphora-shaped aboral cup, oblong to globular basal circlet, distinct radial circlet generally subcylindrical to slightly flare and of much smaller diameter than upper part of basal circlet; distal face of radial circlet with wide central depression and discrete interradial ridges. Brachials and columnals not yet identified.

description: Road accident statistics are collected from information about personal injury road accidents and their consequent casualties, to a common national standard. The aim of collecting and publishing national road accident statistics is to inform public debate and to provide the basis for determining and monitoring effective road safety policies to reduce the road accident casualty toll. They are an essential requirement for monitoring targeted reductions in road accident casualties. The credible monitoring of targeted reductions requires that data are reported consistently and accurately, and both national and local government, and local reporting police forces, work closely to achieve a common reporting standard.

Users should note that for 1985-1991, and from 2002 onwards, the Vehicle Record file does not contain breath test data. This change has been made in order to protect confidentiality.

Data for 1985-1990 were deposited at the Archive at the beginning of 2006. Prior to this, the Archive only held the Road Accident Data series from 1991 onwards. No extra documentation was available for the 1985-1990 data, so users are advised to consult the documentation for the 1991 survey.

Further information about the Road Accident Data series and research based on it may be found on the government road accidents and safety statistics webpages.

These studies comprise information gathered using STATS19 and STATS20 forms.

Measuring the galaxy power spectrum with multiresolution decomposition -- IV. redshift distortion

description: In this paper, we develop a theory of redshift distortion of the galaxy power spectrum in the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) representation. Because the DWT power spectrum is dependent of both the scale and shape (configuration) of the decomposition modes, it is sensitive to distortion of shape of the field. On the other hand, the redshift distortion causes a shape distortion of distributions in real space with respect to redshift space. Therefore, the shape-dependent DWT power spectrum is useful to detect the effect of redshift distortion. We first established the mapping between the DWT power spectra in redshift and real space. The mapping depends on the redshift distortion effects of (1) bulk velocity, (2) selection function and (3) pairwise peculiar velocity. We then proposed $β$-estimators using the DWT off-diagonal power spectra. These $β$-estimators are model-free even when the non-linear redshift distortion effect is not negligible. Moreover, these estimators do not rely on the assumption of whether the pairwise velocity dispersion being scale-dependent. The tests with N-body simulation samples show that the proposed $β$-estimators can yield reliable measurements of $β$ with about 20% uncertainty for all popular dark matter models. We also develop an algorithm for reconstruction of the power spectrum in real space from the redshift distorted power spectrum. The numerical test also shows that the real power spectrum can be well recovered from the redshift distorted power spectrum.

description: In recent decades the northwestern part of Germany (Weser-Ems region) has come to focus on intensive pork production. This has led to public outrage about the disposal of biological waste, farmers’ complaints about the high cost of leasing land, soaring risks of animal diseases, and the decreasing popularity of intensive animal husbandry. However, despite these problems, due to a beneficial cluster structure, the region is a successful market participant. To shed some light on the relationship between network relationships in clusters and competitiveness, an empirical survey was undertaken to compare this pork-intensive region with non–pork-intensive regions. Bi- and multivariate analyses reveal a better access to knowledge and information on the part of farmers in the Weser-Ems region as well as a higher regional competitiveness. As a result, the cluster region characterized by intensive hog production is economically more successful

Health Economics and Policy

description: The implementation of a nutritional policy by the recent “Plan National Nutrition Santé” (PNNS - National Nutrition and Health Programme) raises the question of the relative effectiveness of policy tools, such as price interventions and information campaigns. However, social interactions between consumers are likely to complicate policy evaluation. More precisely, suppose that a public policy has a direct effect on consumption behaviours and that, by aggregation, individual behavioural changes alter certain social norms. These norms may in turn influence individual behaviours. The overall effect of the public policy is the sum of a direct and immediate effect on individuals, and an indirect effect through social norms. With this in mind, we here present the results of a quantitative study, which identifies the impact of social norms of body shape on individual representations of ideal body and the effect of the latter on nutritional attitudes. Hence, the research asks whether collective representations of the ideal body are a parameter that must be taken into account in the economic analysis of nutritional health policies.

description: This paper examines the impact of climate variability and shocks on non-farm employment in rural areas of Northeast Thailand. The paper utilizes a large panel data set that includes detailed and retrospective information about shock experience and a corresponding twenty-year historical village-level monthly rainfall data set from rural Northeast Thailand. The paper finds that the labor market is heterogeneous in terms of adapting to climate variability and coping with shocks. Households use non-agricultural wage and self-employment as a means of adapting to rainfall variability while they use agricultural wage to cope with agricultural and demographic shocks. We also show that there is a concave relationship between rainfall variability and both non-agricultural wage and non-farm self-employment. Economic slowdown and idiosyncratic shocks, such as demographic shocks, lead to substantial non-agricultural wage employment reduction. Overall, our findings show that the labor market can be less effective as a means for adapting to severe rainfall variability, economic and demographic shocks. It is also observed that poorer households are less able to exploit the high returns of the labor market to cope with shocks because of a lack of start-up assets.

Remarks. This family of sessile crinoids displays a morphological and functional convergence with barnacles. The aboral cup restricted to the radial circlet is fixed to the substrate by an incrusting base with parallel growth lines more or less developed. The relatively short arms curl inwards and retract into the calcinal cavity with the proximal brachials forming a protective roof at rest. Study of extant species (Améziane et al. 1999) has clarified the major characters that distinguish Holopus and Cyathidium, the only two known extant genera attributed to this family (Table 17).
Stratigraphical distribution. Late Cretaceous (Cenomanian)–Recent, possibly since Late Jurassic (Sieverts-Doreck 1951).

description: Urban water managers rely heavily on forecasts of water consumption to determine management decisions and investment choices. Typical forecasts rely on simple models whose criteria for selection has little to do with their performance in predicting out-of-sample consumption levels. We demonstrate this issue by comparing forecast models selected on the basis of their ability to perform well in-sample versus out-of-sample. Our results highlight the benefits of developing out-of-sample evaluation criteria to ascertain model performance. Using annual data on single-family residential water consumption in Southern California we illustrate how prediction ability varies according to model evaluation method. Using a training dataset, this analysis finds that models ranking highly on in-sample performance significantly over-estimated consumption (10% − 25%) five years out from the end of the training dataset relative to observed demands five years out from the end of the training dataset. Whereas, the top models selected using our out-of-sample criteria, came within 1% of the actual total consumption. Notably, projections of future demand for the in-sample models indicate increasing aggregate water consumption over a 25-year period, which contrasts against the downward trend predicted by the out-of-sample models.

description: We study the anomalous dimension $η$ of homogeneous interacting single-component Bose-Einstein condensates at finite temperatures for $d\lesssim 4$ dimensions. This $η$ is defined in terms of the one-particle density matrix $ρ({\bf r})\equiv \langle \hatψ^\dagger({\bf r}_1)\hatψ({\bf r}_1+{\bf r})\rangle$ through its asymptotic behavior $ρ({\bf r})\rightarrow N_{\bf 0}/V+C r^{-d+2-η}$ for $r\rightarrow \infty$, where $N_{\bf 0}/V$ is the condensate density and $C$ is a constant. It is shown that the anomalous dimension is given by $η=0.181ε^2$ to the leading order in $ε\equiv d-4$. The change of the prefactor $0.181$ from the value $0.02$ at the transition point of the ${\rm O}(2)$ symmetric $ϕ^4$ model is attributed to the emergence of three-point vertices and the anomalous Green's function when $N_{\bf 0}$ acquires a finite value.

description: New experiments were proposed recently to investigate the regime of cold atomic and molecular ion-atom collision processes in a special hybrid neutral-atom--ion trap under high vacuum conditions. The collisional cooling of laser pre-cooled Ca$^+$ ions by ultracold Na atoms is being studied. Modeling this process requires knowledge of the radiative lifetime of the excited singlet A$^1Σ^+$ state of the (NaCa)$^+$ molecular system. We calculate the rate coefficient for radiative charge transfer using a semiclassical approach. The dipole radial matrix elements between the ground and the excited states, and the potential curves were calculated using Complete Active Space Self-Consistent field and Möller-Plesset second order perturbation theory (CASSCF/MP2) with an extended Gaussian basis, 6-311+G(3df). The semiclassical charge transfer rate coefficient was averaged over a thermal Maxwellian distribution. In addition we also present elastic collision cross sections and the spin-exchange cross section. The rate coefficient for charge transfer was found to be $2.3\times 10^{-16}$ cm$^3$/sec, while those for the elastic and spin-exchange cross sections were found to be several orders of magnitude higher ($1.1\times 10^{-8}$ cm$^3$/sec and $2.3\times 10^{-9}$ cm$^3$/sec, respectively). This confirms our assumption that the milli-Kelvin regime of collisional cooling of calcium ions by sodium atoms is favorable with the respect to low loss of calcium ions due to the charge transfer.

description: Using the superconducting proximity effect for engineering a topological superconducting state in a topological insulator (TI) is a promising route to realize Majorana fermions. However, epitaxial growth of a superconductor on the TI surface to achieve a good proximity effect has been a challenge. We discovered that simply depositing Pd on thin films of the TI material (Bi$_{1-x}$Sb$_x$)$_2$Te$_3$ leads to an epitaxial self-formation of PdTe$_2$ superconductor having the superconducting transition temperature of ~1 K. This self-formed superconductor proximitizes the TI, which is confirmed by the appearance of a supercurrent in Josephson-junction devices made on (Bi$_{1-x}$Sb$_x$)$_2$Te$_3$. This self-epitaxy phenomenon can be conveniently used for fabricating TI-based superconducting nanodevices to address the superconducting proximity effect in TIs.
