description: We have systematically investigated the semi-inclusive B decays B->MX, which are manifestations of the quark decay b->Mq, within the framework of QCD-improved factorization. These decays are theoretically clean and have distinctive experimental signatures. We focus on a class of these that do not require any form factor information and therefore may be especially suitable for extracting information on the angles $α$ and $γ$ of the unitarity triangle. The nonfactorizable effects, such as vertex-type and penguin-type corrections to the two-body b decay and hard spectator corrections to the 3-body decay are calculable in the heavy quark limit. QCD factorization is applicable when the emitted meson is a light meson or a charmonium. We discuss the issue of the CPT constraint on partial rate asymmetries. The strong phase coming from final-state rescattering due to hard gluon exchange between the final states can induce large rate asymmetries for tree-dominated color-suppressed modes $(π^0,ρ^0,ω)X_{\bar s}$. The nonfactorizable hard spectator interactions in the 3-body decay, though phase-space suppressed, are extremely important for the tree-dominated modes $(π^0,ρ^0,ω)X_{\bar s}, ϕX$, $J X_s,J X$ and the penguin-dominated mode $ωX_{s\bar s}$. In fact, they are dominated by the hard spectator corrections. Our result for ${\cal B} (B\to J/ψX_s)$ is in agreement with experiment. The semi-inclusive decay modes: $B^0_s\to (π^0,ρ^0,ω)X_{\bar s}$, $ρ^0X_{s\bar s}$, $B^0\to(K^-X,K^{*-}X)$ and $B^-\to (K^0X_s,K^{*0}X_s)$ are the most promising ones in searching for direct CP violation. In fact, they have branching ratios of order $10^{-6}-10^{-4}$ and CP rate asymmetries of order $(10-40)%$.

description: This paper appraises the environmental performance of US agriculture with respect to water pollution from pesticides through a parametric approach. The performance of the 48 continental States is evaluated through a translog stochastic and hyperbolic distance function allowing an environmentally adjusted productivity index and its components technical and efficiency change from 1960-1996. Water pollution is captured by four indicators of risk developed by Ball et al. (2004) : i) risk to human health from exposure to pesticide leaching; ii) risk to human health from exposure to pesticide runoff; iii) risk to aquatic life from exposure to pesticide leaching and iv) risk to aquatic life from exposure to pesticide runoff. The resulting environmentally adjusted productivity growth is slower than the conventional one but still driven by technical progress. Further finding reveals that innovation in the sector is biased toward crop and livestock rather than pollution mitigation. Results also show a potential for crops and livestock expansion and a contraction in water pollution and inputs.

description: Two new sesquiterpenoids, sarglanoids G and H (1 and 2), together with two known analogues (3–4) were isolated from the roots of Sarcandra glabra. Compound 2 was a rare elemene-type sesquiterpenoid with a furan ring fragment, which is mostly lactone ring in its analogues. The structures of new compounds were determined on the basis of extensive spectroscopic methods including HR-ESI-MS, 1D and 2D NMR, and the absolute configuration of 1 was established by ECD calculations. Their anti-inflammatory activities were also evaluated.

description: Abstract: Photo-induced phase transitions (PIPTs) provide an ultrafast, energy-efficient way for precisely manipulating the topological properties of transition-metal ditellurides and can be used to stabilize a topological phase in an otherwise semiconducting material. Using first-principles calculations, we demonstrate that the PIPT in monolayer MoTe2 from the semiconducting 2H phase to the topological 1T′ phase can be triggered purely by electronic excitations that soften multiple lattice vibrational modes. These softenings, driven by a Peierls-like mechanism within the conduction bands, lead to structural symmetry breaking within sub-picosecond timescales, which is shorter than the timescale of a thermally driven phase transition. The transition is predicted to be triggered by photons with energies over 1.96 eV, with an associated excited carrier density of 3.4 × 1014 cm−2, which enables a controllable phase transformation by varying the laser wavelength. Our results provide insight into the underlying physics of the phase transition in 2D transition-metal ditellurides and show an ultrafast phase-transition mechanism for manipulation of the topological properties of 2D systems.
Invariant Theory and Orientational Phase Transitions

description: The Landau theory of phase transitions has been productively applied to phase transitions that involve rotational symmetry breaking, such as the transition from an isotropic fluid to a nematic liquid crystal. It even can be applied to the orientational symmetry breaking of simple atomic or molecular clusters that are not true phase transitions. In this paper we address fundamental problems that arise with the Landau theory when it is applied to rotational symmetry breaking transitions of more complex particle clusters that involve order parameters characterized by larger values of the $l$ index of the dominant spherical harmonic that describes the broken symmetry state. The problems are twofold. First, one may encounter a thermodynamic instability of the expected ground state with respect to states with lower symmetry. A second problem concerns the proliferation of quartic invariants that may or may not be physical. We show that the combination of a geometrical method based on the analysis of the space of invariants, developed by Kim to study symmetry breaking of the Higgs potential, with modern visualization tools provides a resolution to these problems. The approach is applied to the outcome of numerical simulations of particle ordering on a spherical surface and to the ordering of protein shells.

description: Water, food and energy are strongly interconnected. In this study we address this issue taking the lens of financial concerns to investigate the WFE relationship. Specifically, the aim of our paper is to analyze the volatility spillovres between indexes representing the financial component of WFE nexus. We use a multivariate GARCH model with daily data from November 2001 to May 2013. Water is proxy by equity index that represents the performance of the industry involved in water business both at global and local level. For the food and energy sectors we use two sub-indexes of S&P GF-Commodity Index. Our results highlight the existences of a financial nexus between WFE that is particular exacerbated during 2008 crisis. Evidence therefore suggests the need to better investigate the policy options that can be used to reduce price volatility in a framework of a rising relevance of water issues within the nexus.

Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Self-organization on crystal surface is studied as a two dimensional spinodal decomposition in presence of a surface stress. The elastic Green function is calculated for a $(001)$ cubic crystal surface taking into account the crystal anisotropy. Numerical calculations show that the phase separation is driven by the interplay between domain boundary energy and long range elastic interactions. At late stage of the phase separation process, a steady state appears with different nanometric patterns according to the surface coverage and the crystal elastic constants.

description: We study the charge density response in holographic models with explicit translation symmetry breaking which is relevant in IR. In particular, we focus on Q-lattices and the Bianchy VII helix. We show that the hydrodynamic sound mode is removed from the spectrum due to the strong momentum relaxation and therefore, the usual treatment of the plasmon as Coulomb-dressed zero sound does not apply. Furthermore, the dominant coherent modes in the longitudinal channel, which control the neutral density-density correlator, are diffusive. We show these modes are strongly suppressed when the boundary Coulomb interaction is turned on. This renders the low frequency charge density response spectrum completely incoherent and featureless. At intermediate frequencies, we observe a broad feature -- the fake plasmon -- in the dressed correlator, which could be confused with an overdamped plasmon. However, its gap is set by the scale of translation symmetry breaking instead of the plasma frequency. This broad feature originates from the non-hydrodynamic sector of the holographic spectrum, and therefore, its behaviour, typical of strongly correlated quantum critical systems with holographic duals, deviates from the standard Fermi-liquid paradigm.

description: A key question in development economics is whether nutritional deficiencies generate intergenerational poverty traps by reducing the earnings potential of children born into poverty. To assess the causal influence on human capital of one of the most widespread micronutrient deficiencies, supplemental iron pills were made available at a local health center in rural Peru and adolescents were encouraged to take them up via classroom media messages. Results from school administrative records provide novel evidence that reducing iron deficiency results almost immediately in a large and significant improvement in school performance. For anemic students, an average of 10 100mg iron pills over three months improves average test scores by 0.4 standard deviations and increases the likelihood of grade progression by 11%. Supplementation also raises anemic students’ aspirations for the future. Both results indicate that cognitive deficits from iron-deficiency anemia contribute to a nutrition-based poverty trap. Our findings also demonstrate that, with low-cost outreach efforts in schools, supplementation programs offered through a public clinic can be both affordable and effective in reducing rates of adolescent IDA.

Subjects: Farm Management

description: A central theme in this paper is that some of the most critical constraints in Asia to achieving larger farm production, the fruits of which are more equitably distributed, are beyond the control of individual farmers. If the field of farm management is to play an important role in improving me welfare of large numbers of poor Asian farmers, it must devote some of its analytic efforts to issues other than within-farm resource allocation as is characteristic of traditional western farm management. In particular, it must also examine factors exogenous to the farm, including those institutions and policies that control the access of operators of small farms and other groups o f poor people to the income streams from agriculture.

description: Understanding the unique properties of ultra-wide band gap semiconductors requires detailed information about the exact nature of point defects and their role in determining the properties. Here, we report the first direct microscopic observation of an unusual formation of point defect complexes within the atomic scale structure of beta-Ga2O3 using high resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM). Each complex involves one cation interstitial atom paired with two cation vacancies. These divacancy - interstitial complexes correlate directly with structures obtained by density functional theory, which predicts them to be compensating acceptors in beta-Ga2O3. This prediction is confirmed by a comparison between STEM data and deep level optical spectroscopy results, which reveals that these complexes correspond to a deep trap within the band gap, and that the development of the complexes is facilitated by Sn doping through the increase in vacancy concentration. These findings provide new insight on this emerging material's unique response to the incorporation of impurities that can critically influence their properties.
CO-OPERATIVE FARMING EXPERIMENTS IN BANGLADESH: A NOTE ON THEIR NATURE OF CO-OPERATIVIZATION

description: This paper is intended to outline the pattern of co-operativization practised in the co-operative farming experiments in Bangladesh. Results of the analysis gave rise to some hypotheses demanding micro-research. It has been pointed out that land reforms seem to be necessary for homogenizing the farm size and tenancy relations in order to ensure equity in returns to land and son-land factors in co-operative farming. Examples indicate that present forms of collectivization prior to mechanization can produce some "indirect" effects through better loan use, easy access input to and extension service, while the size effect on productivity may be non-spectacular or negative due to initial dis-economies. The paper concludes that goal conflicts between heterogeneous member groups can be tackled in the short run by limiting the level of collectivization.

description: Bangladesh has now replaced India as the most publicized large scale recipient of food aid importing 1.67 million tons of food grains, four fifths of which were on concessional terms, in 1977/78 ( July to June ). Some analysts, extrapolating from the poor performance of the agricultural sector upto the mid 1970s, also project that Bangladesh will be one of the largest importers of foodgrains in a decade's time merely in order to maintain current pitifully inadequate levels of nutrition. Yet so far there has been no open debate or systematic attempt to analyse the impact of food aid on the Bangladesh economy compared with the controversy and intensive analysis of food aid to India. This article is intended to demonstrate the seriousness of this gap in the literature. It includes a review of provisional evidence on the role of food aid in the Bangladesh economy during the first quinquennium of planned development, 1972/3-1977/8.

description: In this paper, we analyse the WTO rules that specify how the subsidy provided to farmers by public stocks should be estimated. We identify three biases in these rules: - Bias B1, resulting from the use of a fixed past unit value of imports or exports as the external reference price, instead of the current price cost of imports or exports. - Bias B2, resulting from the use of the public stock procurement price instead of the price prevailing on the domestic market to estimate the price support received by farmers selling their production on the domestic market. - Bias B3, resulting from the use of total national production instead of the marketed share of national production, thereby ignoring farmers’ self-consumption. The effect of these three biases on the estimated subsidy varies from country to country, but on average, WTO rules result in the subsidy being overestimated by a factor of between 2 and more than 300, depending on public stock intervention modalities and country characteristics. This means that in the most favourable scenarios, the estimated subsidy is (on average) twice the real subsidy. These biases have a huge effect on country compliance: many countries have an estimated subsidy that exceeds their maximum allowed level (even with very limited public stock interventions), simply because the subsidy provided by public stocks is overestimated by WTO rules. This result challenges the widespread idea that almost all countries comply with WTO rules on public stocks. We also test the effect of individually correcting biases B1, B2 and B3. It appears that doing so would not eliminate the bias on country compliance. One implication of this is that expressing the fixed external reference price (FERP) in US dollars, correcting it with the country inflation rate or replacing it by the average unit value of imports or exports over the last five years (as proposed by some experts and WTO Members) would not be enough to remove the bias on country compliance. It is therefore necessary to correct all three biases, which can be achieved in a rather simple manner, as shown at the end of the paper.

description: Abstract: Migration is a widespread response of birds to seasonally varying climates. As seasonality is particularly pronounced during interglacial periods, this raises the question of the significance of bird migration during past periods with different patterns of seasonality. Here, we apply a mechanistic model to climate reconstructions to simulate the past 50,000 years of bird migration worldwide, a period encompassing the transition between the last glacial period and the current interglacial. Our results indicate that bird migration was also a prevalent phenomenon during the last ice age, almost as much as today, suggesting that it has been continually important throughout the glacial cycles of recent Earth history. We find however regional variations, with increasing migratory activity in the Americas, which is not mirrored in the Old World. These results highlight the strong flexibility of the global bird migration system and offer a baseline in the context of on-going anthropogenic climate change.

description: Introduction: The current WHO classification aids in predicting meningioma and glioma recurrence and prognosis. However, there is a dearth of circulating biomarkers with clinical value for meningioma diagnosis and classification. Circulating miRNAs have shown potential as cancer biomarkers in various tumours. This study evaluated specific miRNAs, miR-497 and miR-219, as convenient and efficient predictors of meningioma and glioma grades. MiR-497 was selected based on preliminary results from Professor Hannemane's group, indicating its potential as a meningioma biomarker. MiR-219 was chosen because of its reported differential expression according to meningioma grade. Methods: Serum and exosomal levels of miR-497 were studied in 74 meningioma samples (WHO grade I = 25, grade II = 25, and grade III = 24), 51 glioma samples (low-grade glioma = 25, GBM = 26), and 53 healthy control samples. The serum level of miR-219 was studied in 56 meningioma samples (grade I = 22, grade II = 14, and grade III = 20). Additionally, the relationship between miR-497 and miR-219 expression and DNA methylation status was investigated in 20 meningioma samples using qPCR for miRNA quantification. We tested two different normalisers, endogenous and external, evaluating their impact on the diagnostic value of miR-497. Results: Serum and exosomal levels of miR-497 effectively distinguished meningioma from control samples and were suitable identifiers for meningioma grade. When miR-497 and miR-219 were combined, the efficacy of the combined biomarker surpassed that of either miR-497 or miR-219 alone in meningioma classification. Both miR-497 and miR-219 exhibited significant changes in relation to the methylation status of meningioma. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that serum miR-497 serves as a potential, easily measurable biomarker for meningioma diagnosis and classification. Combining miR-497 and miR-219 enhances the accuracy of meningioma classification. Additionally, this is the first study to evaluate the correlation between serum circulating miRNA and methylation status in meningioma.

description: Most of the world’s expected population increase will be in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. Growing more food in these regions is imperative, and smallholder farmers are critical to this effort. Women are the core of the agriculture workforce, and their improved productivity is key to this increase. Women are also responsible for feeding their families; feeding growing populations is impossible without significant emphasis on and support for the roles of women and girls.

description: The absence of second class currents together with the assumption of factorization for non-leptonic B decays provide new constraints on CP observables in decay B to a0(980)(to eta pi) pi. The kinematics of this decay do not allow interference between the oppositely charged resonances in the Dalitz plot as in B0 to rho(770)pi. Nonetheless, under the assumption of factorization,the a0pi two-body time-dependent isospin analysis leads to a more robust extraction of the angle alpha than in the rhopi isospin-pentagon analysis. The absence of second class currents might lead to enhanced direct CP violation and/or allows for a test of some assumptions made in the alpha analysis in other decays like B to a0rho, B to b1(1235)pi, B to a0 a0, B to eta(eta')pipi and B to b1 a0. The effects from non-factorizable contributions on the determination of alpha are estimated by means of a numerical study.

description: We use thirty-eight high-resolution simulations of galaxy formation between redshift 10 and 5 to study the impact of a 3 keV warm dark matter (WDM) candidate on the high-redshift Universe. We focus our attention on the stellar mass function and the global star formation rate and consider the consequences for reionization, namely the neutral hydrogen fraction evolution and the electron scattering optical depth. We find that three different effects contribute to differentiate warm and cold dark matter (CDM) predictions: WDM suppresses the number of haloes with mass less than few $10^9$ M$_{\odot}$; at a fixed halo mass, WDM produces fewer stars than CDM; and finally at halo masses below $10^9$ M$_{\odot}$, WDM has a larger fraction of dark haloes than CDM post-reionization. These three effects combine to produce a lower stellar mass function in WDM for galaxies with stellar masses at and below $\sim 10^7$ M$_{\odot}$. For $z > 7$, the global star formation density is lower by a factor of two in the WDM scenario, and for a fixed escape fraction, the fraction of neutral hydrogen is higher by 0.3 at $z \sim 6$. This latter quantity can be partially reconciled with CDM and observations only by increasing the escape fraction from 23 per cent to 34 per cent. Overall, our study shows that galaxy formation simulations at high redshift are a key tool to differentiate between dark matter candidates given a model for baryonic physics.

Frustration driven lattice distortion; an NMR investigation of Y2Mo2O7

description: We have investigated the 89Y NMR spectrum and spin lattice relaxation, T1, in the magnetically frustrated pyrochlore Y2Mo2O7. We find that upon cooling the spectrum shifts, and broadens asymmetrically. A detailed examination of the low T spectrum reveals that it is constructed from multiple peaks, each shifted by a different amount. We argue that this spectrum is due to discrete lattice distortions, and speculate that these distortions relieve the frustration and reduce the system's energy.

Australian agriculture's role in meeting increased Asian demand

description: Food and agricultural producers across Australia and New Zealand are increasingly turning their attention to their close neighbours on the Asian continent. The proximity of almost a third of the world’s population has always been impossible to ignore; however, the region has taken on a new level of significance in recent times as developing countries across Asia have embarked upon their journeys of economic transformation. Rising incomes across Asia and the changing dietary habits of households have already had a significant influence on many global agricultural markets and trade flows. This influence is expected to strengthen in coming years as the region increases its share of the global economy, while remaining somewhat limited in its ability to satisfy its own growing needs and wants for food and fibre products. Indeed, the dawning of the so-called ‘Asian Century’ holds great promise, but it also presents a great challenge to Australian and New Zealand (ANZ) food and agricultural producers. Understanding the business risks of supplying a diverse economic, cultural and political region is critical for ANZ farmers and agribusinesses to maximise the value of their expansion into Asia. Improving their understanding of these factors will also allow ANZ agribusinesses to better respond to the opportunities emerging in Asia at the right scale. Developing strong partnerships along the supply chain and across borders will be critical to the success of Australia and New Zealand in capturing value in the growing Asian markets. Increasingly, consumers across Asia are demanding high levels of food safety and traceability, with many willing and able to pay a premium for the clean and green food we produce. Australia and New Zealand together supply less than 10% of Asia’s total food and agricultural imports: our focus needs to be on leveraging the many attributes of agricultural sectors at the high-value end of the market.

description: In this work the orbital dynamics of Earth satellites about the geosynchronous altitude are explored, with primary goal to assess current mitigation guidelines as well as to discuss the future exploitation of the region. A thorough dynamical mapping was conducted in a high-definition grid of orbital elements, enabled by a fast and accurate semi-analytical propagator, which considers all the relevant perturbations. The results are presented in appropriately selected stability maps to highlight the underlying mechanisms and their interplay, that can lead to stable graveyard orbits or fast re-entry pathways. The natural separation of the long-term evolution between equatorial and inclined satellites is discussed in terms of post-mission disposal strategies. Moreover, we confirm the existence of an effective cleansing mechanism for inclined geosynchronous satellites and discuss its implications in terms of current guidelines as well as alternative mission designs that could lead to a sustainable use of the geosynchronous orbital region.
