description: We present LOFAR data from 110--180~MHz of the merging galaxy cluster Abell 1682, alongside archival optical, radio and X-ray data. Our 6 arc-second resolution images at low frequencies reveal new structures associated with numerous radio galaxies in the cluster. At 20 arc-second resolution we see diffuse emission throughout the cluster over hundreds of kpc, indicating particle acceleration mechanisms are in play as a result of the cluster merger event and powerful active galactic nuclei. We show that a significant part of the cluster emission is from an old radio galaxy with very steep spectrum emission (having a spectral index of $α< -2.5$). Furthermore we identify a new region of diffuse steep spectrum emission ($α< -1.1$) as a candidate for a radio halo which is co-spatial with the centre of the cluster merger. We suggest its origin as a population of old and mildly relativistic electrons left over from radio galaxies throughout the cluster which have been re-accelerated to higher energies by shocks and turbulence induced by the cluster merger event. We also note the discovery of six new giant radio galaxies in the vicinity of Abell 1682.

description: Marketing boards and strategic reserves have re-emerged over the last decade as significant actors in grain markets in eastern and southern Africa, yet there is little empirical research regarding how their activities affect smallholder behavior. This paper uses panel survey data from 1997-2007 on Kenyan smallholders to investigate the effect of Kenya’s National Cereal Produce Board activities on farmgate maize price expectations, output supply, and factor demand. Results show that the NCPB pan-territorial price has a positive effect on smallholders’ maize price expectations, and that smallholders respond to higher expected maize prices by increasing maize production through increased fertilizer use.
Pekajangan : religion, textile production and social organization in a Javanese village
Creators: name: Price, Susanna Kitty
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1977
Subjects: subject: Social structure Case studies
subject: Java (Indonesia) Rural conditions Case studies

description: The research on which this study is based was initially prompted by an interest in Javanese batik and weaving. I wished to describe how, in the context of a village community, such articles were made and to review their importance in community life. Pekajangan, the village of North Central Java in which I lived for six months from June to December 1976, is a particularly interesting community. Bearing a long tradition of batik-making and weaving its inhabitants regard textile production rather than farming, as the main occupational category. Two important features of this tradition have been the Pekajangan Textile Co-operative (the Koperasi Batik Pekajangan founded in 1937) and the PekaJangan Branch of the Muslim Reform movement Muhamrnadiyah (formed in 1922). Both have influenced the growth of this tradition and consequently the overall structural development of Pekajangan. In this thesis I endeavour to describe the way this has occurred.

description: Though numerous researchers have analyzed the effects of socioeconomic factors on food-away-from-home (FAFH) consumption, little is known about how household composition will affect China’s FAFH patterns. This study focuses on the effects of household composition along with income and education on FAFH expenditures in urban China. A Box-Cox double-hurdle model is estimated using recent household survey data collected by the authors from Beijing, Nanjing, Chengdu, Xi’an, Shenyang and Xiamen, China. Household composition indeed has significant effects on FAFH consumption, both at the participation and expenditure steps. Different age groups have different influences. Seniors old than 60 years eat out less frequently and spend less when they consume FAFH, while adults between 20-49 are the major FAFH consumers in urban China. Children younger than 10 years have no significant effect on either FAFH participation or expenditure. Also, we find both income and wife’s education have positive effects on FAFH consumption. The participation elasticity with respect to income is a bit lower, while the expenditure elasticity is significantly higher. Families with highly educated wives tend to dine away from home more often than their counterparts.

The Indonesian interisland shipping industry : a case study in competition and regulation
Creators: name: Dick, H. W.
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1977
Subjects: subject: Shipping Indonesia

description: While economic planning has been widely advocated as essential to the development of poor countries, there remains great ignorance of the impact of government policies at the industry level. This study of Indonesian interisland shipping argues that government policies have been the main cause of inefficiency in the industry. Policies toward infrastructure, licensing and controls, freight rates, and investment are analysed in turn. Inefficiency appears to have arisen directly from the neglect of infrastructure and the diversion of resources into the making and evasion of regulations and indirectly from the weakening of competition as less efficient firms have been protected artd new firms have been discouraged from entering the industry. More generally, the government has failed to create an environment conducive to productive private investment. Despite these handicaps, the market has nevertheless been effective In transferring output from less to more efficient firms. When firms are divided into growing and declining on the basis of changes in capacity and their characteristics examined, growing firms appear to be the more efficient and declining firms the less efficient. This transfer of capacity (and thereby output) is consistent with the characteristics of the industry's structure and the apparent absence of collusion, which permit the industry to be best described as monopolistically competitive. The personal connections and internal organisation of the firm are also important. Personal connections influence the rate of growth or decline. Internal organisation accounts for a small desired size among private firms; together with a high opportunity cost of capital, this appears to produce a life cycle of rapid growth through reinvestment of surpluses followed by withdrawal of surpluses for diversification into other ventures. In view of this life cycle, the efforts of the government (encouraged by foreign advisers) to reduce the number of firms in the industry are particularly harmful to competition. Although these findings cannot readily be generalised without knowledge of competition and regulation in other industries, they do suggest that the Indonesian government may frustrate rather than exploit the capital and entrepreneurial resources of the private sector, in what remains a mixed economy.

description: We study QCD with two colors and quarks in the fundamental representation at finite baryon density in the limit of light quark masses. In this limit the free energy of this theory reduces to the free energy of a chiral Lagrangian which is based on the symmetries of the microscopic theory. In earlier work this Lagrangian was analyzed at the mean field level and a phase transition to a phase of condensed diquarks was found at a chemical potential of half the diquark mass (which is equal to the pion mass). In this article we analyze this theory at next-to-leading order in chiral perturbation theory. We show that the theory is renormalizable and calculate the next-to-leading order free energy in both phases of the theory. By deriving a Landau-Ginzburg theory for the order parameter we show that the finite one-loop contribution and the next-to-leading order terms in the chiral Lagrangian do not qualitatively change the phase transition. In particular, the critical chemical potential is equal to half the next-to-leading order pion mass, and the phase transition is second order.

Trade and welfare consequences of land-lockedness : theory and empirical evidence from developing countries
Creators: name: Gautam, Lakshman Kumar
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1978
Subjects: subject: Developing countries Commerce

description: The purpose of this study is to analyse, both theoretically and empirically, the international trade and economic welfare consequences for land-locked developing countries of having no direct access to the sea. More specifically, the study aims firstly to show that the natural barrier to overseas trade due to land-lockedness is substantial, compared with both the value of goods they trade internationally, the natural barrier due to ocean shipping costs and the governmental barriers due to restrictive international trade policies. Secondly, it draws on international trade theory to derive a number of testable hypotheses concerning the trade and welfare consequences of land-lockedness. Where available secondary data permit, these hypotheses are then tested using non-parametric statistical techniques. By and large, the evidence is not inconsistent with the hypotheses, suggesting that land-locked developing countries do indeed have an additional significant trade barrier over and above that of their non-land-locked neighbours. The study concludes by suggesting some policy implications which follow from the analysis. In particular, if land-locked developing countries are to take as much advantage of the gains from international specialization of production as non-land-locked countries, they need to ensure that they have less government-imposed barriers to both commodity and factor trade than their neighbours, and that any government planning of industrial development promotes industries that not only make the best use of the country's resource endowments (that is, labour-intensive, low-skill industries) but also involve low transport costs.

description: Our study introduces innovative methods to address waste reduction and enhance resource efficiency in nuclear cleanup processes. We focus on sustainable nuclear technology, aligning with goals for cleaner production and environmental protection. We developed two novel methods, termed "oversimplified" and "simplified," for easily determining the photopeak efficiency of NaI(Tl) scintillation detectors. These methods, along with a "general" solution method, were validated with calibrated radioactive sources such as 241Am, 57Co, 133Ba, 137Cs, and 60Co, and were used to commission a NaI(Tl) scintillation detector system at Chalk River Laboratories (CRL) for nuclear remediation. The system demonstrated high accuracy, making it suitable for screening unstable isotopes at contaminated sites. This screening tool significantly reduces the number of soil samples requiring detailed characterization, thereby lowering operational costs. The NaI(Tl) detector system was calibrated for near-contact geometry, which is commonly used at CRL. Detection limits were established for this configuration. By improving the efficiency calibration of scintillation detectors, our study advances sustainable nuclear remediation practices, promoting environmental sustainability and cleaner production processes.

In particular, we examine the role of the heavy mesons B^* and B_0, via the process B->pi (B^*, B_0)->pi^+ pi^- pi^0, and their interference with resonant contributions in the rho-mass region. We discuss the inherent uncertainties and suggest that the effects may be substantially smaller than previously indicated.

description: Spin-Transfer Torque RAM (STT-RAM) is widely considered a promising alternative to SRAM in the memory hierarchy due to STT-RAM's non-volatility, low leakage power, high density, and fast read speed. The STT-RAM's small feature size is particularly desirable for the last-level cache (LLC), which typically consumes a large area of silicon die. However, long write latency and high write energy still remain challenges of implementing STT-RAMs in the CPU cache. An increasingly popular method for addressing this challenge involves trading off the non-volatility for reduced write speed and write energy by relaxing the STT-RAM's data retention time. However, in order to maximize energy saving potential, the cache configurations, including STT-RAM's retention time, must be dynamically adapted to executing applications' variable memory needs. In this paper, we propose a highly adaptable last level STT-RAM cache (HALLS) that allows the LLC configurations and retention time to be adapted to applications' runtime execution requirements. We also propose low-overhead runtime tuning algorithms to dynamically determine the best (lowest energy) cache configurations and retention times for executing applications. Compared to prior work, HALLS reduced the average energy consumption by 60.57% in a quad-core system, while introducing marginal latency overhead.

description: We present an analysis of adaptive optics (AO) images from the Keck-I telescope of the microlensing event MOA-2011-BLG-262. The original discovery paper by Bennett et al. 2014 reports two distinct possibilities for the lens system; a nearby gas giant lens with an exomoon companion or a very low mass star with a planetary companion in the galactic bulge. The $\sim$10 year baseline between the microlensing event and the Keck follow-up observations allows us to detect the faint candidate lens host (star) at $K = 22.3$ mag and confirm the distant lens system interpretation. The combination of the host star brightness and light curve parameters yields host star and planet masses of $M_{\rm host} = 0.19 \pm 0.03M_{\odot}$ and $m_p = 28.92 \pm 4.75M_{\oplus}$ at a distance of $D_L = 7.49 \pm 0.91\,$kpc. We perform a multi-epoch cross reference to \textit{Gaia} DR3 and measure a transverse velocity for the candidate lens system of $v_L = 541.31 \pm 65.75$ km s$^{-1}$. We conclude this event consists of the highest velocity exoplanet system detected to date, and also the lowest mass microlensing host star with a confirmed mass measurement. The high-velocity nature of the lens system can be definitively confirmed with an additional epoch of high-resolution imaging at any time now. The methods outlined in this work demonstrate that the \textit{Roman} Galactic Exoplanet Survey (RGES) will be able to securely measure low-mass host stars in the bulge.

description: Sub-damped Lyman alpha systems (subDLAs; HI column densities of 19.0<=logN(HI)<20.3) are rarely included in the cosmic HI census performed at redshifts z>=1.5, yet are expected to contribute significantly to the overall HI mass budget of the Universe. In this paper, we present a blindly selected sample of 155 subDLAs found along 100 quasar sightlines (with a redshift path length X=475) in the XQ-100 survey to investigate the contribution of subDLAs to the HI mass density of the Universe. The impact of X-Shooter's spectral resolution on sub-DLA identification is evaluated, and found to be sufficient for reliably finding absorbers with logN(HI)>=18.9. We compared the implications of searching for subDLAs solely using HI absorption versus the use of additional metal lines to confirm the identification, and found that metal-selection techniques would have missed 75 subDLAs. Using a bootstrap-Monte Carlo simulation, we computed the column density distribution function (f(N,X)) and the cosmological HI mass density of subDLAs and compared with our previous work based on the XQ-100 damped Lyman alpha systems. We do not find any significant redshift evolution in f(N,X) or cosmological HI mass density for subDLAs. However, subDLAs contribute 10-20 per cent of the total cosmological HI mass density measured at redshifts 2

description: This study is an attempt to examine the extent of differences of fertility among a cross-section of Sri Lanka women, differentiated by their socio-economic background and to seek possible explanations for the observed fertility differentials. Data are drawn from the Family Health Baseline Survey of 1975 and the analysis is confined to 4113 currently married women less than 50 years of age and in their first marriage at the time of the survey. Fertility differentials are examined according to current residence, ethnic group, religion, level of education, employment status of the woman and socio-economic status of the household. The findings of the Survey rank age at marriage as the major determinant of fertility differentials while practice of breastfeeding is also an important factor for some socio-economic groups. It is found that family planning practice is still insignificant in determining fertility. The study also shows that the level of education contributes, on the whole, in a significant way to a lowering of fertility. Within the data limitations, this study provides a useful contribution to an area which has not been adequately studied. Some important areas for future research also emerge from the study.

description: QCD sum-rules are related to an integral of a hadronic spectral function, and hence must satisfy integral inequalities which follow from positivity of the spectral function. Development of these Holder inequalities and their application to the Laplace sum-rule for pions lead to a lower bound on the average of the non-strange 2 GeV light-quark masses in the MS-bar scheme.

description: The spin-1 Ising model with bilinear and quadrupolar short-range interactions under magnetic field is investigated within the two-particle cluster approximation. It is shown that for those values of the quadrupolar interaction when at zero magnetic field the system undergoes a temperature phase transition between quadrupolar and paramagnetic phases, a triple point may exist in the temperature vs magnetic field phase diagrams, necessarily along with a critical point. It is also shown that the critical points in the temperature vs magnetic field phase diagrams of the investigated model can be of three types.

Role of interference and entanglement in quantum neural processing

description: The role of interference and entanglement in quantum neural processing is discussed. It is argued that on contrast to the quantum computing the problem of the use of exponential resources as the payment for the absense of entanglement does not exist for quantum neural processing. This is because of corresponding systems, as any modern classical artificial neural systems, do not realize functions precisely, but approximate them by training on small sets of examples. It can permit to implement quantum neural systems optically, because in this case there is no need in exponential resources of optical devices (beam-splitters etc.). On the other hand, the role of entanglement in quantum neural processing is still very important, because it actually associates qubit states: this is necessary feature of quantum neural memory models.

description: This study analyses the effectiveness of the agro-environmental policies of the European Union for North-Eastern Sicily (Messina Province) where lemons have been harvested on terraces for hundreds of years. Since the latter years of the 1980s, there has been a gradual decline due to a drop in the value of lemons, an increase in labour costs and in non-agricultural use of land. Abandonment of farms has gradually brought about a deterioration in the agricultural landscape and given rise to erosion, due, principally, to the destruction of dry stone walls. The analysis is based on GIS photointerpretations of the variations in cultivated areas and the consequent mutations of the agricultural landscape in a sub-area of Messina Province which was the subject of similar analysis in 1963. The results have highlighted that in the study area there has been a drastic reduction in the area under lemon cultivation. This continuing decline is likely to be difficult to reverse in the coming years because of negative average farm incomes. This negative trend in profitability has occurred despite the many legislative incentives for lemon farms. The results seem to suggest a revision of current strategies to protect agricultural landscape especially in the marginal rural areas of the European Union.
Tunable Skyrmion-Antiskyrmion Dynamics in Co/Pt Nanocontacts for Spintronic Applications

description: Magnetic skyrmions are topologically protected quasiparticles and have drawn much attention because of their potential applications in next-generation spintronics devices. Their inherent topological stability, nanoscale size, and efficient manipulation via spin currents make them promising candidates for high-density data storage and novel computing paradigms. We micromagnetically investigate the nucleation dynamics of magnetic skyrmion pairs excited underneath two 30 nm nanocontacts with varying separations on top of an extended Co/Pt bilayer thin film. At close separation of 100 nm, the magnetization configurations strongly interact, giving rise to the formation of stable merged skyrmion states. As the separation increases beyond 200 nm, topologically distinct metastable configurations emerge, including the coexistence of tunable skyrmion-antiskyrmion pairs through Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) strengths and current pulse amplitudes. These metastable states eventually relax into two stable skyrmions that can be independently toggled ON and OFF using a weak in-plane magnetic field, enabling complex logic operations and more flexible circuit designs. Beyond the fundamental interest in skyrmion interaction dynamics, the independent control of skyrmion-antiskyrmion states holds promise for next-generation spintronic devices, with potential applications in memory, logic, and computing.

description: The German sugar market is governed by the European Union’s common market organization (CMO). In 2006, the CMO was subject to its first major reform. Among others, the administered price for sugar was reduced by 36%. We use a data set with monthly prices for sugar and sugar containing products to perform a cointegration analysis. Results show that the reduction of the institutional price has led to a reduction of wholesale prices and of retail prices for table sugar. Prices for sugar containing products are barely integrated with the sugar price, though. Some are found to be integrated with the CPI for food and soft drinks. In none of the cases where linear cointegration could not be detected, threshold cointegration could be found.

Radiative Corrections to the Higgs Boson Mass for a Hierarchical Stop Spectrum
Creators: name: Espinosa, J. R.
name: Navarro, I.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: An effective theory approach is used to compute analytically the radiative corrections to the mass of the light Higgs boson of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model when there is a hierarchy in the masses of the stops (M_st1 >> M_st2 >> M_top, with moderate stop mixing). The calculation includes up to two-loop leading and next-to-leading logarithmic corrections dependent on the QCD and top-Yukawa couplings, and is further completed by two-loop non-logarithmic corrections extracted from the effective potential. The results presented disagree already at two-loop-leading-log level with widely used findings of previous literature. Our formulas can be used as the starting point for a full numerical resummation of logarithmic corrections to all loops, which would be mandatory if the hierarchy between the stop masses is large.

description: We reveal a new face of the old clichéd system: a dissipative quantum harmonic oscillator. We formulate and study a quantum counterpart of the energy equipartition theorem satisfied for classical systems.Both mean kinetic energy $E_k$ and mean potential energy $E_p$ of the oscillator are expressed as $E_k = \langle \mathcal E_k \rangle$ and $E_p = \langle \mathcal E_p \rangle$, where $\langle \mathcal E_k \rangle$ and $ \langle \mathcal E_p \rangle$ are mean kinetic and potential energies per one degree of freedom of the thermostat which consists of harmonic oscillators too. The symbol $\langle ...\rangle$ denotes two-fold averaging: (i) over the Gibbs canonical state for the thermostat and (ii) over thermostat oscillators frequencies $ω$ which contribute to $E_k$ and $E_p$ according to the probability distribution $\mathbb{P}_k(ω)$ and $\mathbb{P}_p(ω)$, respectively. The role of the system-thermostat coupling strength and the memory time is analysed for the exponentially decaying memory function (Drude dissipation mechanism) and the algebraically decaying damping kernel.
The influence of rural transportation systems on regional economic development and commercialization of agriculture in some selected areas of Comilla District, Bangladesh

description: The economic progress of a country like Bangladesh cannot be considered without giving top priority to the improvement of rural life. Among the economic and social factors contributing towards development, the role of rural transportation systems is a significant one. This study investigates the contributions that appropriate rural transportation systems have on the developmental process in the Comilla district. A case study of two selected regions was undertaken. These are the regions of Kotwali with a relatively better transport system and the Burichong region regarded as control. A contrasting picture of the two regions' agricultural development was revealed by the analysis. To investigate the possible causes of such a picture, the efficiency and cost structure of the different modern and traditional modes of transport such as truck, tractor, cycle rickshaw, bullock cart, country boat and human modes (shoulder or head 1oad) were discussed using statistical and econometric techniques. utilizing the available information on the rice trade of transportation pattern, cost of production and prices in the two regions, the economic benefits of rural roads were assessed by estimating the producer surplus. Examples of social benefits were enumerated. The effects of distance covered and volume hauled on transport cost for the different modes was examined using a quadratic transport cost function. Finally, the most economic rice transport task, i.e., the least-cost combination of modes and routes subject to given assumptions relati.ng to production and consumption centres was attempted. This was based on the results arrived at using a network analysis approach.

description: Slowing productivity growth in the Australian grains industry has led to calls for increasing investment in rural R&D to advance agricultural technology. However, recent research also suggests there is strong potential to increase productivity by enhancing uptake of existing innovations. The productivity gains from innovation adoption are likely to depend on the capacity of farmers to effectively select, adapt and integrate innovations into existing farming systems. In this paper, the innovative capacity of grain growers is characterised by variables related to the farm, the farmer and their operating environment. The influence of these factors on on-­‐farm innovation adoption is tested using an ordered probit model. The relationship between innovative capacity, innovation adoption and productivity is then evaluated. The results suggest that building innovative capacity is effective in increasing agricultural productivity.
