description: This paper argues and provides empirical evidence that trade-offs and/or complementarities are inherent in technological options that shape the adoption of and land-use decisions in production systems involving multiple crops in Ethiopia. By applying a fractional response model to a nationally representative sample of 1 469 households, this paper found that, while there are tradeoffs in the land-use decisions regarding barley and potatoes, there are complementarities in the land-use decisions of their improved varieties. A striking result from this analysis is that the frequency of extension visits does not affect land allocation among crops and their improved varieties, which, in the light of the very high density of extension personnel in Ethiopia, shows the poor performance of the extension service delivery system. These results imply that the analysis of smallholder adoption decisions and agricultural technology targeting needs to consider all major crops in the farmers’ portfolio, and Ethiopia should consider overhauling its extension service delivery systems.

Euxoa tessellata

description: 17. Euxoa tessellata (Harris) Tessellate Dart (adult), Striped Cutworm (larva)
(Fig. 20)
 Identification: Forewing length 13.0–18.0 mm. Forewing ground color is dark brown with a faint pattern. Orbicular and reniform spots are lighter than ground color and at least partially outlined with black. A small triangular black patch is proximal to the orbicular spot and a larger trapezoidal black patch lies between orbicular and reniform spots. Claviform spot is absent. Hindwing color is dirty white to light brown; costa, outer margin, and veins are dark.
 There are several forms of this species in eastern North America. The most common forms have reddish brown or gray forewings. A less common form lacks the black shading near the orbicular spot which could be confused with E. messoria and E. pleuritica. This form of E. tessallata has faint or indistinct forewing markings as compared with the more heavily marked forewings of E. messoria and E. pleuritica.
 Flight period: Early June to late September, with most records from late June to early August (Lafontaine 1987).
 Collected Localities: This species is not recorded from the Park, but it is likely to occur there.
 General distribution: This is the most widespread species of Euxoa, occurring across North America from Newfoundland west to Alaska and south to North Carolina, Kansas, central New Mexico, Arizona, and southern California (Lafontaine 1987).
 Larval hosts: This is a climbing cutworm, and larvae are a pest on tobacco (Nicotania sp., Solanaceae), garden crops, and woody shrubs including cherry (Prunus avium (L.) L., Rosaceae), apple (Malus sp., Rosaceae), and pear (Pyrus sp., Rosaceae) (Lafontaine 1987).

description: The art of creating dataset codebooks using the Data Documentation Initiative (DDI) in Canada has been slowly gaining ground. The University of Guelph has been marking up codebooks for the past 5 years and is now involved in a collaborative effort with partner Universities in Ontario and Statistics Canada to determine a core set of tags and best practices procedure of completing the tags. This paper will discuss why some Ontario universities have chosen to move away from their home grown systems and implement DDI compliant systems and how working with Statistics Canada will benefit the Canadian data community.
Occurrence and diagnostic value of the Polypodium vulgare L. complex in the communities of Asplenietea trichomanis (Br. Bl. in Meier & Br. Bl. 1934) Oberd. 1977 class in Polish Sudety Mts and their foreland

description: In 2009-2011, 298 relevés of plant rocky communities of Asplenietea trichomanis class were collected in the Sudety Mts and their foreland. Polypodium vulgare occurred in 93 relevés, i.e. in about one third of collected material, however the distribution and abundance of the species were not equal in all syntaxonomical units. The species was found in 56% of relevés representing Hypno-Polypodion vulgaris alliance, in 26% of relevés of Asplenion septentrionalis alliance, in the same percentage in Asplenion cuneifolii phytocoenoses, and in less than 10% of all the relevés made on calcareous substrata. Thus, P. vulgare should be considered as a character species of the Androsacetalia vandelii order rather than the Asplenietea trichomanis class as a whole. It is especially abundant in phytocoenoses belonging to the Hypno-Polypodion vulgaris alliance and dominating in Hypno-Polypodietum associations, in which it reaches the highest coverage (10% up to 80%). The results indicate that the most important factors which determine the occurrence of P. vulgare in rocky communities are the type of the geological substrate (non-calcareous rocks) and shade, generally exceeding 60%. Occurrence of Polypodium ×mantoniae has been confirmed so far in the phytocoenoses belonging to the association Asplenio-Polypodietum and Asplenietum cuneifolii. It may occur in ass. Woodsio-Asplenietum septentrionalis as well.

description: FU Orionis-type objects (FUors) are young low-mass stars undergoing powerful accretion outbursts. The increased accretion is often accompanied by collimated jets and energetic, large-scale molecular outflows. The extra heating during the outburst may also induce detectable geometrical, chemical, and mineralogical changes in the circumstellar material, affecting possible planet formation around these objects. V346 Nor is a southern FUor with peculiar spectral characteristics. Decades after the beginning of its outburst, it unexpectedly underwent a fading event around 2010 due to a decrease in the mass accretion rate onto the star by at least two orders of magnitude. Here we present optical and near-infrared photometry and spectroscopy obtained after the minimum. Our light curves show a gradual re-brightening of V346 Nor, with its Ks-band brightness only 1.5 mag below the outburst brightness level. Our VLT/XSHOOTER spectroscopic observations display several strong forbidden emission lines towards the source from various metals and molecular hydrogen, suggesting the launch of a new jet. Our N-band spectrum obtained with VLT/VISIR outlines a deeper silicate absorption feature than before, indicating that the geometry of the circumstellar medium has changed in the post-outburst period compared to peak brightness.

description: This study applied stochastic frontier analysis (SFA) and data envelopment analysis (DEA) to examine the technical efficiency of maize production in northern Ghana using cross-sectional data from 360 maize farmers for the 2011/2012 cropping season. Farm size, seed, fertiliser and herbicides had a positive effect on maize output. Agricultural mechanisation, extension services, experience and gender influenced technical efficiency. The study recommends that access to tractors be expanded to increase farmers’ production efficiency. Maize production could improve if less-experienced farmers learn from the accumulated knowledge of experienced farmers, including through extension. Agricultural extension services should be strengthened to disseminate improved farming practices to farmers for increased efficiency. Female farmers should be supported by removing socio-cultural barriers by raising awareness in order to correct the wrong traditions and perceptions inimical to women’s full participation in farming so as to bring improvements in technical efficiency.

description: This study aimed to analyse the extent to which land- and water-use rights enable/deter the productive use of irrigation water. Data was collected from 242 sampled smallholders in three study areas in KwaZulu-Natal. The findings indicate that the productive use of irrigation water is positively influenced by land- and water-use rights, with scheme committees being the first point of contact for smallholders when they need access to land and water. A provincial body of scheme committees is needed through which smallholders can capacitate each other in how they can improve access, appreciate the role of collective action and deal with challenges related to water, land and markets by applying their experiences. This body can be represented in policy formulation and aid in policy implementation. This paper shows that land and water policy alone cannot improve smallholder productivity, and that enhancing the productive use of irrigation water requires a holistic approach that considers the accessibility of input and output markets.

description: Since 2002, a range of South African policies have attempted to address the disproportionate burden of food and nutrition insecurity on the population. Yet malnutrition among the poor has worsened. This study reviewed policies to examine their implications for food security and the treatment of malnutrition. Policies enacted between 2002 and 2017 were retrieved from government departments and the data were thematically analysed. A preliminary analysis shows that policy has aided production through input provision and capacity building. Taxation, school nutrition programmes and social grants are some of the food access initiatives, whilst micronutrient supplementation, breastfeeding campaigns and food fortification are policies specifically focused on nutrition. However, despite these interventions, food insecurity has remained due to gaps in and contradictions among policies and the lack of coordination in policy development and implementation, especially across sectors. To improve food and nutrition security, government must better engage with ideas about how to address food and nutrition security systemically, and develop the appropriate coordination mechanisms for a more holistic approach to this challenge.

description: We present a Kahler potential for four dimensional heterotic M-theory which includes moduli describing a gauge five brane living on one of the orbifold fixed planes. This result can also be thought of as describing compactifications of either of the weakly coupled heterotic strings in the presence of a gauge five brane. This is the first example of a Kahler potential in these theories which includes moduli describing background gauge field configurations. Our results are valid when the solitons width is much smaller than the size scale of the Calabi-Yau threefold and can be used to provide a more complete description of some moving brane scenarios. We point out that, in general, it is not consistent to truncate away the gauge five brane moduli in a simple manner.

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia

description: In times of crisis, such as COVID-19 pandemic, architecture has the potential to play a crucial role of offering emotional and psychological repair to societies, but it is yet to be systematically investigated. This can be made possible by means of intentional (engineered) ‘Affect’ in design through synthesizing the form, material, scale, etc. to enhance our experiences of and provide resilience for our spaces. This project is about providing an opportunity for a playful and calming experience away from the routines and stresses of everyday life, especially due to lifestyle changes after COVID-19 outbreak. The goal is to take people who enter the structure on a journey where they leave a little calmer, a little more excited and fresher. Movement is key to the project. The design takes people through a 3-dimensional labyrinth on intertwined ramps, giving them opportunities to have their unique adventure by changing paths and encountering enticing views and inspiring scenes of art while allowing them to take moments of respite in between and enjoy casual performances, as well. In addition to providing a framework around a physical-virtual journey, the project itself can be seen as a vertical garden of lights and colors, especially at nights when the building appears as a glowing beacon in a narrow lot in downtown Vancouver. While the project was inspired by the outbreak of the pandemic, it can be said that such constructs can still affect the society after the emergency is over.

description: The reliable and resilient operation of the smart grid necessitates a clear understanding of the intra-and-inter dependencies of its power and communication systems. This understanding can only be achieved by accurately depicting the interactions between the different components of these two systems. This paper presents a model, called modified implicative interdependency model (MIIM), for capturing these interactions. Data obtained from a power utility in the U.S. Southwest is used to ensure the validity of the model. The performance of the model for a specific power system application namely, state estimation, is demonstrated using the IEEE 118-bus system. The results indicate that the proposed model is more accurate than its predecessor, the implicative interdependency model (IIM) [1], in predicting the system state in case of failures in the power and/or communication systems.

description: Food safety and quality issues in sub-Sahara Africa are receiving increasing attention from governmental and non-governmental organisations by raising awareness of food safety and quality incidents. This paper has examined the economic welfare implications of policy changes in relation to safety and quality among 400 beef consumers in Southern Ghana. We conclude that most respondents are willing to pay premiums to assure food safety and quality. The willingness-to-pay (WTP) estimates vary significantly as a function of respondents’ underlying attitudes towards food safety and quality issues. There are considerable variations in preferences, willingness to pay and welfare effects across the different consumer classes. There is evidence of crucial segmental equity issues in food safety and quality policies. The paper suggests that future research and policy decisions on food safety and quality changes should consider those segments of consumers whose welfare can potentially be improved or reduced due to the policy changes.

description: The dynamic magnetic properties of the Kondo-insulator state in CeFe2Al10 (spin gap, resonance mode) have been investigated using polarized neutrons on a single crystal of pure CeFe2Al10. The results indicate that the magnetic excitations are polarized mainly along the orthorhombic a axis and their dispersion along the orthorhombic c direction could be determined. Polycrystalline samples of Nd- and Rh-doped CeFe2Al0 were also studied by the time-of-flight technique, with the aim of finding out how the low-energy magnetic excitation spectra change upon isoelectronic substitution of the rare-earth (Nd) on the magnetic Ce site or electron doping (Rh) on the transition-element Fe sublattice. The introduction of magnetic Nd impurities strongly modifies the spin gap in the Ce dynamic magnetic response and causes the appearance of a quasielastic signal. The crystal-field excitations of Nd, studied in both LaFe2Al10 and CeFe2Al10, also reveal a significant influence of f-electron hybridization (largest in the case of Ce) on the crystal-field potential. As a function of the Rh concentration, a gradual change is observed from a Kondo-insulator to a metallic Kondo-lattice response, likely reflecting the decrease in the hybridization energy.

description: The electronic band topology of monolayer $β$-Sb (antimonene) is studied from the flat honeycomb to the equilibrium buckled structure using first-principles calculations and analyzed using a tight-binding model and low energy Hamiltonians. In flat monolayer Sb, the Fermi level occurs near the intersection of two warped Dirac cones, one associated with the $p_z$-orbitals, and one with the $\{p_x,p_y\}$-orbitals. The differently oriented threefold warping of these two cones leads to an unusually shaped nodal line, which leads to anisotropic in-plane transport properties and goniopolarity. A slight buckling opens a gap along the nodal line except at six remaining Dirac points, protected by symmetry. Under increasing buckling, pairs of Dirac points of opposite winding number annihilate at a critical buckling angle. At a second critical angle, the remaining Dirac points disappear when the band structure becomes a trivial semiconductor. Spin-orbit coupling and edge states are discussed.

description: This paper attempts to identify the factors that influence parallel exchange rate premium in Sudan during the period 1979–2014. In addition, the impact of parallel exchange rate premium on economic performance is examined; focusing on three key macroeconomic indicators namely, economic growth, inflation and exports. The empirical results show that parallel exchange rate premium is significantly affected by policy variables such as, real exchange rate, trade openness and money supply. The results also reveal that GDP growth, expected rate of devaluation, budget deficit and foreign aid are the most significant factors affecting parallel exchange premium. Moreover, the results demonstrate that parallel premium has a detrimental impact on both economic growth and export performance. Expectedly, the results show a positive association between premium and inflation rate. These outcomes are still hold under robustness checks, indicating that parallel exchange rate premium has negative consequences on macroeconomic performance in Sudan. Accordingly, the paper concludes with some policy implications that aim to narrow the spread between the black and official exchange rate as an important way out to contain inflationary pressures, improve export competitiveness, and boost economic growth.

This asymmetry is expected to be less than 0.01 in the Standard Model, but could be enhanced up to about 0.10 by new physics contributions. We use a sample of 89 million BB pairs recorded with the BaBar detector at PEP-II, from which we reconstruct a set of 12 exclusive b -> s gamma final states containing one charged or neutral kaon and one to three pions. We measure an asymmetry of A_CP(b -> s gamma) = 0.025 +/- 0.050(stat.) +/- 0.015(syst.), corresponding to an allowed range of -0.06 < A_CP(b -> s gamma) < +0.11 at 90% confidence level.

description: This paper examines the impact of capital structure on firm performance in Nigeria as well as test the possibility of non-monotonic relationship between capital structure and firm performance based on the prediction of the agency cost theory of capital structure when firm use debt financing excessively. The study used dynamic panel model on panel data of 115 listed non-financial firms in Nigeria. Specifically, the paper employed the two step generalized method of moments (GMM) estimation method that recognizes the persistence of the dependent variable by including its lag value as an explanatory variable in the regression model. The major findings indicate statistical significant relationship exist between capital structure and firm performance particularly when debt financing is moderately employed. However, the paper found evidence of non-monotonic relationship between capital structure and firm performance when firms in Nigeria employed excessive debt financing which impinged on the performance of firms. The findings support the portability of the agency cost theory in the Nigeria context but with caution considering the facts that firms in Nigeria were largely finance through short term debt as against long term debt financing that was assumed in the agency cost theoretical proposition.

description: The Kepler space telescope observed over 15,000 stars for asteroseismic studies. Of these, 75% of dwarfs (and 8% of giants) were found to show anomalous behavior: such as suppressed oscillations (low amplitude) or no oscillations at all. The lack of solar-like oscillations may be a consequence of multiplicity, due to physical interactions with spectroscopic companions or due to the dilution of oscillation amplitudes from "wide'" (AO detected; visual) or spectroscopic companions introducing contaminating flux. We present a search for stellar companions to 327 of the Kepler asteroseismic sample, which were expected to display solar-like oscillations. We used direct imaging with Robo-AO, which can resolve secondary sources at ~0."15, and followed up detected companions with Keck AO. Directly imaged companion systems with both separations of $\leq$0."5 and amplitude dilutions >10% all have anomalous primaries, suggesting these oscillation signals are diluted by a sufficient amount of excess flux. We also used the high-resolution spectrometer ESPaDOnS at CFHT to search for spectroscopic binaries. We find tentative evidence for a higher fraction of spectroscopic binaries with high radial velocity scatter in anomalous systems, which would be consistent with previous results suggesting that oscillations are suppressed by tidal interactions in close eclipsing binaries.

description: Multi-Cloud Storage is one of the essential service in cloud computing which is used to store and access data remotely. This Multi-Cloud storage models enable users to store sliced encrypted information in varied cloud drives. Thus, it provides support for varied cloud storage services using the only interface instead of using single cloud storage services. Despite the fact that cloud computing streamlines the process of sharing resources among groups and users, there are some security concerns about using the cloud. Sharing data among multiple users while still maintaining data integrity and privacy is still a big challenge as a result of the constant change of the data ownership. The proposed model offers the optimal solution for malicious insider's attack, protection from malicious files when uploaded by malicious user, and decentralized distribution of data storage using an index based cryptographic data slicing and sharing of the key through untrusted or semi-trusted secure channels with high efficiency and flexibility. In this research, a new security model is used with an algorithm to ensure the security of data sharing in the Multi-Cloud. This technique also uses the hybrid cryptosystem to enhance the secure data sharing, secret key confidentiality and also solves the key escrow problem. The algorithm presented in this method reduce the threats caused by malicious insiders and malicious users when sharing data in multi-cloud storage. Various datasets block or file size has been chosen randomly to evaluate the efficiency and its probability with various file formats using the proposed technique. The results of the experiment indicate that the proposed model is the best choice for data owners who are looking for the most secure and efficient way to share their data over multi-cloud storage.

description: During the observations carried out in the Langtang Khela Valley (Langtang National Park) six mains, easy to recognise, plant communities were recorded. Their distribution depends mainly on two most important factors – altitude and the level of anthropopressure. There are three natural forest communities in the Langtang Khela Valley: the moist temperate laurel-oak forest (Litsea-Quercus leucotrichophora community – 1800-2600 m a.s.l., in the deep valley of the Langtang Khela), dry mixed temperate forest (Pinus-Rhododendron arboreum community – 1800-ca 3000 m a.s.l., on dry rocky slopes) and moist mixed coniferous forest (Tsuga dumosa-Quercus semecarpifolia community – 2400-3400 m a.s.l., in the upper part of the valley). The two kinds of shrub communities (temperate Elscholtzia-Colquohinia coccinea and subalpine Rhododendron-Cotoneaster affinis community) and subalpine meadows up to 3600 m probably have anthropogenic origin.

description: ABSTRACT:In the modern era of computing, Cloud computing will play a major role in the Internet of Services.Although many cloud service models are there, Infrastructure as a Service (IAAS) has become the foundation of thefuture Internet of Services (IoS). Many advantages of cloud computing attracts the individuals and organization tomove their data from remote to cloud servers. Cloud Providers mainly focus on delivering services and provides alesser focus in data security and privacy which is the main aspect in cloud computing. Since the single cloud storagedoes not fulfil the demands of the individuals and organizations, a move towards multi-cloud storage has beenemerged. This report offers an overview of motivation of attackers, various techniques and its limitations made toprotect information security in single and multi-cloud storage. In addition, this paper also explains the commonchallenges in adopting single and multi-cloud storage services. This work provides a better solution in designing multicloudarchitecture and key consideration in decision making process for the individuals and organizations in theadoption of better cloud storage service.

description: Cleaning and preparing data files for public release are tasks that many researchers and survey professionals feel are unnecessary in the era of computer assisted and web based interviewing.nbsp;nbsp; The addition of automation, in principle, should have resulted in a dataset that is ready immediately upon data collection.nbsp; In practice, however, the automation necessary to collect data does not always produce data files that are in fact designed to be used by the uninitiated (ergo "public") user.nbsp; In this part of the session, I will discuss how to approach data set cleaning and documentation from a user's perspective.

description: Wide usage of social media platforms has increased the risk of aggression, which results in mental stress and affects the lives of people negatively like psychological agony, fighting behavior, and disrespect to others. Majority of such conversations contains code-mixed languages[28]. Additionally, the way used to express thought or communication style also changes from one social media plat-form to another platform (e.g., communication styles are different in twitter and Facebook). These all have increased the complexity of the problem. To solve these problems, we have introduced a unified and robust multi-modal deep learning architecture which works for English code-mixed dataset and uni-lingual English dataset both.The devised system, uses psycho-linguistic features and very ba-sic linguistic features. Our multi-modal deep learning architecture contains, Deep Pyramid CNN, Pooled BiLSTM, and Disconnected RNN(with Glove and FastText embedding, both). Finally, the system takes the decision based on model averaging. We evaluated our system on English Code-Mixed TRAC 2018 dataset and uni-lingual English dataset obtained from Kaggle. Experimental results show that our proposed system outperforms all the previous approaches on English code-mixed dataset and uni-lingual English dataset.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.
