description: The forest cover of the country has declined significantly and the remaining natural forests provide valuable environmental services. Since logging reduces the supply of environmental services, alternative sources of timber play an important role in sustainable management of forestlands. Forest plantations are alternatives to logging natural forests for timber and other wood products. The objective of this study is to examine the financial and economic feasibility of selected forest plantation species. According to the study, at a 10% discount rate, Mahogany, Teak, Jak and Eucalyptus result in positive financial NPVs. At higher discount rates, all considered species result in negative financial NPVs. Teak provides the highest financial NPV. In a social context, when environmental services are incorporated, Mahogany, Teak, Jak, Eucalyptus and Pine yield higher economic NPVs at 6% social discount rate. This shows that there is a divergence between financial and economic returns to forest plantations. Therefore, government interventions are necessary to get the private sector involved in plantation forestry.

description: An exact class of solutions of the 5D vacuum Einstein field equations (EFEs) is obtained. The metric coefficients are found to be non-separable functions of time and the extra coordinate $l$ and the induced metric on $l$ = constant hypersurfaces has the form of a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker cosmology. The 5D manifold and 3D and 4D submanifolds are in general curved, which distinguishes this solution from previous ones in the literature. The singularity structure of the manifold is explored: some models in the class do not exhibit a big bang, while other exhibit a big bang and a big crunch. For the models with an initial singularity, the equation of state of the induced matter evolves from radiation like at early epochs to Milne-like at late times and the big bang manifests itself as a singular hypersurface in 5D. The projection of comoving 5D null geodesics onto the 4D submanifold is shown to be compatible with standard 4D comoving trajectories, while the expansion of 5D null congruences is shown to be in line with conventional notions of the Hubble expansion.

description: We propose Slim Graph: the first programming model and framework for practical lossy graph compression that facilitates high-performance approximate graph processing, storage, and analytics. Slim Graph enables the developer to express numerous compression schemes using small and programmable compression kernels that can access and modify local parts of input graphs. Such kernels are executed in parallel by the underlying engine, isolating developers from complexities of parallel programming. Our kernels implement novel graph compression schemes that preserve numerous graph properties, for example connected components, minimum spanning trees, or graph spectra. Finally, Slim Graph uses statistical divergences and other metrics to analyze the accuracy of lossy graph compression. We illustrate both theoretically and empirically that Slim Graph accelerates numerous graph algorithms, reduces storage used by graph datasets, and ensures high accuracy of results. Slim Graph may become the common ground for developing, executing, and analyzing emerging lossy graph compression schemes.

description: We study the transport of an overdamped particle adiabatically driven by an asymmetric potential which is periodic in both space and time. We develop an adiabatic perturbation theory after transforming the Fokker-Planck equation into a time-dependent hermitian problem, and reveal an analogy with quantum adiabatic particle transport. An analytical expression is obtained for the ensemble average of the particle velocity in terms of the Berry phase of the Bloch states. Its time average is shown to be quantized as a Chern number in the deterministic or tight-binding limit, with exponentially small corrections. In the opposite limit, where the thermal energy dominates the ratchet potential, a formula for the average velocity is also obtained, showing a second order dependence on the potential.

description: Sri Lanka is the world leader in made tea production and the small holding sector dominates national production by accounting for 60% of the island's tea production. However, given the high cost of production, there is a belief that it is very difficult to increase profitability without increasing costly inputs such as labour. With this background, in this study technical efficiency of the tea small holdings sector in the Mid Country Wet Zone of Sri Lanka was estimated in order to identify the potential to increase production without incurring any additional costs for inputs. The sources of inefficiency and the robustness of measured technical efficiency in various functional specifications was also investigated. The primary data collected during the period September - January 2001 relevant to sixty small holder tea producers in the Mid-country Wet Zone was used for the study. Maximum likelihood estimates of the stochastic frontier model were estimated for green leaf yield as a function of land extent, family labour, hired labour, fertilizer, chemicals, and dolomite, using Cobb-Douglas and translog models. The determinants of technical efficiency such as age of farmer, experience, education, occupation type of crop (VP/Seedling) and type of clone were investigated, following the Battese and Coelli (1995) specification. According to the Cobb-Douglas specification, extent of land, family labour, hired labour, fertilizer and dolomite showed significant effects on yield. The coefficients for land, family labour, hired labour and fertilizer had positive values of 1.11, 0.027, 0.067 0.029 and 0.004 respectively. The mean technical efficiency of the tea small holdings sector in the Mid Country Wet Zone was found to be 64.60 per cent. The result for the inefficiency model indicates that age of farmer, education, occupation, type of crop (VP or seedling) and type of clone have significant effects on efficiency. The coefficients for age, education, occupation and type of crop showed negative values. However contrary to expectations, type of clone and experience showed positive values. The estimation with the translog model yielded different technical efficiencies, which indicates the fact that technical efficiency estimations are highly sensitive to the functional form specified.

 Although Amniataba percoides is widespread throughout the Kimberley, its distribution is patchy (Fig. 27). For example, it is known from the Fitzroy and May Rivers in the southwest Kimberley, but apparently absent from rivers north of this point to the Carson and Drysdale Rivers, with the exception of downstream records in the Mitchell and Lawley Rivers. There are also no records from the King George, Berkeley or Forrest Rivers. Single records exist for the Durack and Pentecost Rivers, while the species is widespread within the Ord River. Similar disparities in the distribution are evident also within the Pilbara (Morgan & Gill 2004).

description: A new broad absorption line quasar (BAL) sample is derived from the first data released by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. With 116 objects, it is the largest BAL sample yet assembled. Over the redshift range 1.8 < z < 3.8, the crude fraction with broad absorption in the CIV line is roughly 15%. This fraction may be subject to small selection-efficiency adjustments. There are also hints of redshift-dependence in the BAL fraction. The sample is large enough to permit the first estimate of the distribution of "balnicity index": subject to certain arbitrary parameters in the definition of this quantity, it is very broad, with (roughly) equal numbers of objects per logarithmic interval of balnicity. BAL quasars are also found to be redder on average than non-BAL quasars. The fraction of radio-loud BAL quasars is (weakly) consistent with the fraction of radio-loud ordinary quasars.

While many economic variables such as exchange rate and foreign consumer income and animal disease such as avian influenza affect U.S. poultry exports, trade barriers of various kinds tend to impact U.S. poultry exports more significantly. The major trade barriers facing U.S. poultry exports include EU technical trade barrier, Indian protectionism using avian influenza as a guise, various anti-dumping cases, Russian ban in retaliation to U.S. economic sanctions, and religious trade barriers encountered in some Muslim countries.

description: Lyman$-α$ (Ly$α$) emission lines are typically found to be redshifted with respect to the systemic redshifts of galaxies, likely due to resonant scattering of Ly$α$ photons. Here we measure the average velocity offset for a sample of 96 $z\approx3.3$ Ly$α$ emitters (LAEs) with a median Ly$α$ flux (luminosity) of $\approx 10^{-17}~\rm erg~cm^{-2}~s^{-1}$ ($\approx10^{42}~\rm erg~s^{-1}$) and a median star formation rate (SFR) of $\approx1.3 \rm M_{\odot} yr^{-1}$ (not corrected for possible dust extinction), detected by the Multi-Unit Spectroscopic Explorer as part of our MUSEQuBES circumgalactic medium (CGM) survey. By postulating that the stacked CGM absorption profiles of these LAEs, probed by 8 background quasars, must be centered on the systemic redshift, we measure an average velocity offset, V$_{\rm offset} = 171 \pm 8$ $\rm km s^{-1}$, between the Ly$α$ emission peak and the systemic redshift. The observed V$_{\rm offset}$ is lower by factors of $\approx1.4$ and $\approx2.6$ compared to the velocity offsets measured for narrow-band selected LAEs and Lyman break galaxies, respectively, which probe galaxies with higher masses and SFRs. Consistent with earlier studies based on direct measurements for individual objects, we find that the V$_{\rm offset}$ is correlated with the full width at half-maximum of the red peak of the Ly$α$ line, and anti-correlated with the rest-frame equivalent width. Moreover, we find that $V_{\rm offset}$ is correlated with SFR with a sub-linear scaling relation, V$_{\rm offset}\propto \rm SFR^{0.16\pm0.03}$. Adopting the mass scaling for main sequence galaxies, such a relation suggests that V$_{\rm offset}$ scales with the circular velocity of the dark matter halos hosting the LAEs.

description: Variations with oxygen concentration of titanium lattice parameters are obtained by means of ab initio calculations, considering the impact of oxygen ordering. The quasiharmonic approximation is used to take into account the thermal expansion at finite temperature. Results show that lattice parameters depend mainly on oxygen concentration and, to a lesser extent, on the ordering state. Knowing these theoretical variations, one can get insights into the composition of ordered compounds existing in Ti-O binary alloys from their lattice mismatch measured experimentally by x-ray diffraction. The approach is used in a binary alloy containing 6000 ppm in weight of oxygen. It is concluded that the ordered compounds, which are observed after a recrystallization heat treatment, do not have the expected Ti6O stoichiometry but have a composition close to the nominal concentration. Oxygen ordering proceeds, therefore, before oxygen partitioning in titanium.

description: Many factors influence a country’s international poultry market accessibility, including freedom from diseases such as highly pathogenic avian influenza and highly pathogenic strains of Newcastle disease. This study examines OIE-reported events of these two diseases over a 16-year period to determine the factors that contributed significantly to trade revenue recovery time. Results indicate that the elements influencing a measurable negative export revenue effect due to disease—including risk perceptions and whether the disease is zoonotic—differ from the elements that influence the length of revenue recovery, such as product affordability. In addition, overall global economic health and growing meat demand are elements that matter at the time an event occurs. The magnitude of elements influencing trade revenue during disease events suggests that recovery from HPAI and ND events may take months, not years.

description: While the emergence of a power law degree distribution in complex networks is intriguing, the degree exponent is not universal. Here we show that the betweenness centrality displays a power-law distribution with an exponent ηwhich is robust and use it to classify the scale-free networks. We have observed two universality classes with η\approx 2.2(1) and 2.0, respectively. Real world networks for the former are the protein interaction networks, the metabolic networks for eukaryotes and bacteria, and the co-authorship network, and those for the latter one are the Internet, the world-wide web, and the metabolic networks for archaea. Distinct features of the mass-distance relation, generic topology of geodesics and resilience under attack of the two classes are identified. Various model networks also belong to either of the two classes while their degree exponents are tunable.

description: The continuum and semiclassical limits of isotropic, spatially flat loop quantum cosmology are discussed, with an emphasis on the role played by the Barbero-Immirzi parameter γin controlling space-time discreteness. In this way, standard quantum cosmology is shown to be the simultaneous limit γ\to 0, j \to \infty of loop quantum cosmology. Here, j is a label of the volume eigenvalues, and the simultaneous limit is technically the same as the classical limit \hbar \to 0, l \to \infty of angular momentum in quantum mechanics. Possible lessons for semiclassical states at the dynamical level in the full theory of quantum geometry are mentioned.

description: A ratchet model for coupled Brownian motors, inspired by the motion of individual two-headed molecular motors on cytoskeletal filaments, is proposed. Such motors are modeled as two elastically coupled Brownian particles, each of which moves in a flashing ratchet potential. The ratchet potentials felt by the individual particles are anti-correlated, modeling the successive binding and unbinding of the two motor heads to the filament. We obtain, via Langevin simulations, steady-state currents as functions of noise strength, the equilibrium separation of the particles and the rate of switching between potential states. We observe an enhanced current due to coupling, noise induced stability and phase-locked behaviour in the deterministic regime. A qualitative understanding of these features is provided.

description: In 1983, Wigner outlined a modified Schrödinger--von-Neumann equation of motion for macroobjects, to describe their typical coupling to the environment. This equation has become a principal model of environmental decoherence which is beleived responsible for the emergence ofclassicality in macroscopic quantum systems. Typically, this happens gradually and asymptotically after a certain characteristic decoherence time. For the Wigner-function, however, one can prove that it evolves perfectly into a classical (non-negative) phase space distribution after a finite time of decoherence.

description: Noninvasive MR-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) treatments are promising alternatives to the surgical removal of malignant tumors. A significant challenge is assessing the viability of treated tissue during and immediately after MRgFUS procedures. Current clinical assessment uses the nonperfused volume (NPV) biomarker immediately after treatment from contrast-enhanced MRI. The NPV has variable accuracy, and the use of contrast agent prevents continuing MRgFUS treatment if tumor coverage is inadequate. This work presents a novel, noncontrast, learned multiparametric MR biomarker that can be used during treatment for intratreatment assessment, validated in a VX2 rabbit tumor model. A deep convolutional neural network was trained on noncontrast multiparametric MR images using the NPV biomarker from follow-up MR imaging (3-5 days after MRgFUS treatment) as the accurate label of nonviable tissue. A novel volume-conserving registration algorithm yielded a voxel-wise correlation between treatment and follow-up NPV, providing a rigorous validation of the biomarker. The learned noncontrast multiparametric MR biomarker predicted the follow-up NPV with an average DICE coefficient of 0.71, substantially outperforming the current clinical standard (DICE coefficient = 0.53). Noncontrast multiparametric MR imaging integrated with a deep convolutional neural network provides a more accurate prediction of MRgFUS treatment outcome than current contrast-based techniques.

description: U.S. Poultry exports over the past twenty years have risen dramatically. But, concern over Salmonella has threatened access to some traditional export markets. This paper examines the economic forces driving recent reductions in Salmonella on U.S. chicken and discusses the implications of these reductions for U.S. poultry exports. Empirical results suggest that plant size and regulatory changes have contributed to a 50 percent reduction in Salmonella on chicken. These lower Salmonella levels will likely strengthen the U.S. bargaining position in trade negotiations and enhance the U.S. reputation in world trade but will not likely result in immediate export gains.

Completion of a SCUBA survey of Lynds dark clouds and implications for low-mass star formation

description: We have carried out a survey of optically-selected dark clouds using the bolometer array SCUBA on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope, at 850 microns wavelength. The survey covers a total of 0.5 square degrees and is unbiased with reference to cloud size, star formation activity, or the presence of infrared emission. Several new protostars and starless cores have been discovered; the protostars are confirmed through the detection of their accompanying outflows in CO(2-1) emission. The survey is believed to be complete for Class 0 and Class I protostars, and yields two important results regarding the lifetimes of these phases. First, the ratio of Class 0 to Class protostars in the sample is roughly unity, very different from the 1:10 ratio that has previously been observed for the rho Ophiuchi star-forming region. Assuming star formation to be a homogeneous process in the dark clouds, this implies that the Class 0 lifetime is similar to the Class I phase, which from infrared surveys has been established to be approximately 200,000 yr. It also suggests there is no rapid initial accretion phase in Class 0 objects. A burst of triggered star formation some 100,000 yr ago can explain the earlier results for rho Ophiuchus. Second, the number of starless cores is approximately twice that of the total number of protostars, indicating a starless core lifetime of approximately 800,000 yr. These starless cores are therefore very short-lived, surviving only two or three free-fall times. This result suggests that, on size scales of 10,000 AU at least, the dynamical evolution of starless cores is probably not controlled by magnetic processes.

Strategies for accessing the multi-pulse regime of mode-locked fiber lasers

description: Important ongoing research on mode-locked fiber lasers aims at developing new types of multi-soliton regimes, such as soliton molecules, molecular complexes or soliton crystals. The on-demand generation of such multi-pulse structures is a major challenge, whereas experiments generally involve a tedious trial-and-error adjustment of the laser parameters. Here, we present an approach based on a gradual and calibrated adjustment of the system configuration, which employs efficient parameter routes to reach well-defined multi-pulse regimes. Our numerical simulations show that once the mode-locking threshold is reached, we can adjust the laser parameters gradually to force the evolution of the laser dynamics towards multi-pulse structures with fewer distortion in their intensity profiles, which are accessible at reduced pump power levels.

description: Using USDA’s ARMS data for 2003-2011 and the DuPont expansion financial model, we determine the extent and location of U.S. broiler farms and estimate the drivers of farm profitability, asset turnover, solvency, and return on equity. We find that farm size, diversification, and broiler housing vintage are the major drivers of farm financial performance, so these factors will likely have the greatest impact on U.S. broiler production in an increasingly competitive broiler trade market. Furthermore, region, farmer age, and off-farm employment are additional farm financial performance drivers that have implications for international competitiveness.

description: Brane worlds are theories with extra spatial dimensions in which ordinary matter is localized on a (3+1) dimensional submanifold. Such theories could have interesting consequences for particle physics and gravitational physics. In this essay we concentrate on the cosmological constant (CC) problem in the context of brane worlds. We show how extra-dimensional scenarios may violate Lorentz invariance in the gravity sector of the effective 4D theory, while particle physics remains unaffected. In such theories the usual no-go theorems for adjustment of the CC do not apply, and we indicate a possible explanation of the smallness of the CC. Lorentz violating effects would manifest themselves in gravitational waves travelling with a speed different from light, which can be searched for in gravitational wave experiments.

description: Recent neutron scattering experiments on CsNiCl_3 reveal some features which are not well described by the nonlinear sigma model nor by numerical simulations on isolated S=1 spin chains. In particular, in real systems the intensity of the continuum of multiparticle excitations, at T=6K, is about 5 times greater than predicted. Also the gap is slightly higher and the correlation length is smaller. We propose a theoretical scenario where the interchain interaction is approximated by a staggered magnetic field, yielding to a correct prediction of the observed quantities.

description: The interaction of photons and coherent quantum systems can be employed to detect electromagnetic radiation with remarkable sensitivity. We introduce a quantum radiometer based on the photon-induced-dephasing process of a superconducting qubit for sensing microwave radiation at the sub-unit-photon level. Using this radiometer, we demonstrated the radiative cooling of a 1-K microwave resonator and measured its mode temperature with an uncertainty ~0.01 K. We have thus developed a precise tool for studying the thermodynamics of quantum microwave circuits, which provides new solutions for calibrating hybrid quantum systems and detecting candidate particles for dark matter.

description: The conventional estimation method of the pricing-to-market (the PTM) model in the international trade literature is a within model of panel regression of export prices on exchange rates with time and country dummies. Previous studies have found a significant coefficient parameter in exchange rate variable, which is only indicative of short-run pricing-to-market for multiple export destinations rather than long-run pricing behavior. This paper examines a long-run pricing-to-market for U.S. broiler meat export markets, using “between” panel specification. Findings indicate that the U.S. pricing-to-market behavior of exporters is both transient and persistently long. These results clearly imply that the implementation of a long-run pricing-to-market strategy in the U.S. broiler meat exports mitigates the rising imbalance between the domestic production and consumption via incomplete exchange rate pass-through.
