description: We have investigated magnetic, electrical and thermal transport properties (Seebeck effect and thermal conductivity) of LaSr$_{2}$Mn$_{2-y}$Cr$_{y}$O$_{7}$ polycrystalline samples ($y$=0.1, 0.2, 0.4 and 0.6). The Cr$^{3+}$ substitution for Mn$^{3+}$ sites causes a removal of $d_{x^2-y^2}$ orbital of $e_g$-electron resulting in a volume shrinkage of lattice. Magnetic measurements reveal the appearance of a glassy behavior for Cr-doped samples, accompanied by both a collapse of the A-type antiferromagnetic structure and the growth of ferromagnetic clusters. Cr-doping effect on electrical transport strongly enhances an insulating behavior over a wide range of temperature, while it suppresses a local minimum of thermoelectric power at lower temperatures. The phonon thermal conduction gradually rises with increasing Cr content, which is contradictory to a typical impurity effect on thermal conductivity. We attribute this to a suppression of local lattice distortion through the introduction of Jahn-Teller inactive ions of Cr$^{3+}$.

description: Photostimulated electron detachment from aqueous inorganic anions is the simplest example of solvent-mediated electron transfer. Here we contrast the behavior of halide anions with that of small polyatomic anions, such as pseudohalide anions (e.g., HS-) and common polyvalent anions (e.g., SO32-). Geminate recombination dynamics of hydrated electrons generated by 200 nm photoexcitation of aqueous anions (I-, Br-, OH-, HS-, CNS-, CO32-, SO32-, and Fe(CN)64-) have been studied. Prompt quantum yields for the formation of solvated, thermalized electrons and quantum yields for free electrons were determined. Pump-probe kinetics for 200 nm photoexcitation were compared with kinetics obtained at lower photoexcitation energy (225 nm or 242 nm) for the same anions, where possible. Free diffusion and mean force potential models of geminate recombination dynamics were used to analyze these kinetics. These analyses suggest that for polyatomic anions (including all polyvalent anions studied) the initial electron distribution has a broad component, even at relatively low photoexcitation energy. There seem to be no well-defined threshold energy below which the broadening of the distribution does not occur, as is the case for halide anions. Direct ionization to the conduction band of water is the most likely photoprocess broadening the electron distribution. Our study suggests that halide anions are in the class of their own; electron photodetachment from polyatomic, especially polyvalent, anions follows a different set of rules.

description: This contribution discusses assets and limits of the local/territorial level as a core level to improve the sustainability of agriculture. The focus is on the issue of rural landscape maintenance through farming. Some possible institutional solutions to overcome the difficulties of family farms are examined. New institutional settings such as the "local group", constituting an interface for the negotiation among different local stakeholders, seem to effectively facilitate the stipulation of local contracts for landscape management. The participation to these contracts requires a change in farmers' identity and a more general re-conceptualization of agricultural and environmental problems as community problems.

Identification and characterization of M-Ras, a novel member of the Ras-superfamily of small GTPases
Creators: name: Ehrhardt, Götz R. A.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Ras proteins have been implicated in up to 30% of all human cancers. However, in some tissues the incidence of mutations in p21 Ras proteins is very low. This prompted us to screen the EST-database for new Ras-family members. Here we describe the identification and characterization of M-Ras, a novel and highly conserved member of the Ras family. M-Ras is a widely expressed protein with an apparent molecular weight of 29 kDa. Activated mutants of M-Ras transformed NIH 3T3 fibroblasts and led to factor-independent growth of an IL-3- dependent cell line. A dominant negative mutant of M-Ras was able to block activation of the c-fos promoter by an activated Src Y527F. Importantly, M-Ras was recognized by the monoclonal anti-Ras antibody Y13-259, a widely used tool to assay p21 Ras activation. In contrast to p21 Ras, M-Ras interacted only weakly with the Ras binding domains of Raf-1 and RalGDS. This led us to screen a cDNA library prepared from NIH 3T3 cells for novel effectors of M-Ras using the yeast 2-hybrid system. Several known Ras effectors were identified, thus allowing us to establish a subset of p21 Ras effectors that also interacted with M-Ras. We also identified a novel effector protein that interacted strongly with activated mutants of M-Ras and p21 Ras. Sequence analysis of this novel protein revealed a new member of the RalGDSfamily of exchange factors, which we termed RPM. Murine RPM mRNA was widely expressed. In contrast to other RalGDS proteins, which have been shown to synergize with p21 Ras in activating the c-fos promoter, RPM displayed a strong inhibitory effect on an Elk-1 dependent reporter system. This inhibitory activity was dependent on a second signal that could be provided by activated p21 Ras or by MEKK-1 but not by Raf-1. Furthermore, RPM also displayed a strong negative regulatory effect on the growth of NIH 3T3 fibroblasts that were transformed by an activated Src Y527F. Since RPM did not inhibit the MEKK-1- dependent activation of the MAP-kinases Erk, INK and p38, we conclude that expression of RPM uncouples Elk-1-dependent gene induction from MAP-kinase activation.
A Search for Periodicities in the $^8$B Solar Neutrino Flux Measured by the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory

description: A search has been made for sinusoidal periodic variations in the $^8$B solar neutrino flux using data collected by the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory over a 4-year time interval. The variation at a period of one year is consistent with modulation of the $^8$B neutrino flux by the Earth's orbital eccentricity. No significant sinusoidal periodicities are found with periods between 1 day and 10 years with either an unbinned maximum likelihood analysis or a Lomb-Scargle periodogram analysis. The data are inconsistent with the hypothesis that the results of the recent analysis by Sturrock et al., based on elastic scattering events in Super-Kamiokande, can be attributed to a 7% sinusoidal modulation of the total $^8$B neutrino flux.

description: Although still the family farm is the dominant farm type there are changes in the legal mode of organization. Applying the new institutional economics and economic organisation theory the different organisation modes are explained, mainly in terms of control and income rights. Important factors are (limited) liability, risk-bearing costs, transaction costs, and residual control and income rights. This is subsequently applied to Dutch agriculture, taking into account its special characteristics. In an empirical follow-up, based on a sample of all the farmers in the Netherlands, the farmers attitudes and the farm advisory network are analysed. Finally, farm types are explained using bivariate logit analysis, taking into account attitudinal, advisory-network and structural variables. Among other factors, especially the financial advisors appear to play a significant role in the organisation mode choice.

description: Private farming is the dominant mode of agricultural production in most European countries. Not all farmers are equally successful, economically. In this paper it is analysed whether social capital is an important factor contributing to higher agricultural incomes. Based on the findings of a farm survey in Poland among 410 farmers by adopting factor and multiple regression analysis it can be deduced that social capital is indeed a significant factor determining the level of agricultural income. However, its impact not that clear-cut as anticipated. More in-depth analysis will be needed in the future.

We show the tangential Cauchy-Riemann operator has closed range on such a manifold M, hence we get global existence and regularity results for the \bar\partial_b problem. We also show the middle (i.e. corresponding to (p,q) forms for q between 1 and n-2) \bar\partial_b cohomology groups of M with respect to L^2, Sobolev s, and smooth coefficients are finite and isomorphic to each other. The results are obtained by microlocalization using a new type of weight function called strongly CR plurisubharmonic.

The appearing fields find a natural interpretation in terms of the universal gerbe, a generalisation of the universal bundle. We comment on the construction of observables in the arising Topological Quantum Field Theory. It is also shown how the BRST operator and the trace part of a suitably truncated set of fields on the non-Abelian gerbe reduce directly to the coboundary operator and the pertinent cochains of the underlying Cech-de Rham complex.

description: This present study attempts to examine the economic evaluation of rice-prawn gher farming system on land fertility for modern variety (MV) paddy production in Bangladesh. Laboratory based experimental data and field survey data were used in the present study. To test the change of land fertility, soils were collected before paddy production (after prawn production) and after paddy production (before prawn production) and tested in the Soil Resource Development Institute (SRDI) laboratory in Khulna, Bangladesh. The findings of the study indicate that the farmer applied comparatively less chemical fertilizers in MV paddy production under the rice-prawn gher farming system compared to MV paddy production. The input cost of chemical fertilizers for MV paddy farming was about six times higher than MV paddy production under the rice-prawn gher farming system. However, per acre MV paddy production of MV paddy farming was almost same to MV paddy production under the rice-prawn gher farming system. The rice-prawn gher farming is a cost-saving technology for MV paddy production.

Simple adjustment of the radio-frequency fields provides versatile possibilities for dynamical parameter tuning, topology change, and controlled potential perturbation. We show how to induce toroidal and poloidal rotations, and demonstrate the feasibility of preparing degenerate quantum gases with reduced dimensionality and periodic boundary conditions. The great level of dynamical and even state dependent control is useful for atom interferometry.

description: The Clean Development Mechanism of the Kyoto Protocol provides the opportunity for smallholders to receive financial rewards for adopting tree-based systems that are sustainable. In this paper a meta-model is developed to simulate interactions between trees, crops and soils under a range of management regimes for a smallholding in Sumatra. The model is used within a dynamic-programming algorithm to determine optimal tree/crop areas, tree-rotation lengths, firewood-harvest and fertilizer application rates for a landholder faced with deteriorating land quality and opportunities to receive carbon credits and fertiliser subsidies. It is found th at profit maximising management strategies depend on initial soil quality. For example, incentives to participate in carbon projects only exist when the soil is degraded because the opportunity cost of the forgone crop production is low. Also, when soil-carbon stocks are low only trees should be grown and residues added to the soil to increase carbon stocks until a threshold level is reached, when it becomes optimal to switch to a steady-state system of crops with fertiliser. In this case, tree rotation lengths depend on carbon and fertiliser prices; where increases in these prices decrease the opportunity cost of growing trees and allow for longer rotations. If, however, the initial soil-carbon stock is high, the profit-maximising strategy is to grow only crops and use fertiliser, which initially depletes the soil of carbon until a steady state is reached and maintained.

description: Clouds are ubiquitous in exoplanet atmospheres and represent a challenge for the model interpretation of their spectra. Complex cloud models are too numerically costly for generating a large number of spectra, while more efficient models may be too strongly simplified. We aim to constrain the atmospheric properties of the directly imaged planet HR 8799e with a free retrieval approach. We use our radiative transfer code petitRADTRANS for generating spectra, which we couple to the PyMultiNest tool. We added the effect of multiple scattering which is important for treating clouds. Two cloud model parameterizations are tested: the first incorporates the mixing and settling of condensates, the second simply parameterizes the functional form of the opacity. In mock retrievals, using an inadequate cloud model may result in atmospheres that are more isothermal and less cloudy than the input. Applying our framework on observations of HR 8799e made with the GPI, SPHERE and GRAVITY, we find a cloudy atmosphere governed by disequilibrium chemistry, confirming previous analyses. We retrieve that ${\rm C/O}=0.60_{-0.08}^{+0.07}$. Other models have not yet produced a well constrained C/O value for this planet. The retrieved C/O values of both cloud models are consistent, while leading to different atmospheric structures: cloudy, or more isothermal and less cloudy. Fitting the observations with the self-consistent Exo-REM model leads to comparable results, while not constraining C/O. With data from the most sensitive instruments, retrieval analyses of directly imaged planets are possible. The inferred C/O ratio of HR 8799e is independent of the cloud model and thus appears to be a robust. This C/O is consistent with stellar, which could indicate that the HR 8799e formed outside the CO$_2$ or CO iceline. As it is the innermost planet of the system, this constraint could apply to all HR 8799 planets.

description: We have carried out extensive first principles doping-dependent computations of angle-resolved photoemission (ARPES) intensities in La$_{2-x}$Sr$_x$CuO$_4$ (LSCO) over a wide range of binding energies. Intercell hopping and the associated 3-dimensionality, which is usually neglected in discussing cuprate physics, is shown to play a key role in shaping the ARPES spectra. Despite the obvious importance of strong coupling effects (e.g. the presence of a lower Hubbard band coexisting with mid-gap states in the doped insulator), we show that a number of salient features of the experimental ARPES spectra are captured to a surprisingly large extent when effects of $k_z$-dispersion are properly included in the analysis.

description: This study aims at identifying and analyzing food security measures in Borno State, Nigeria. A multi-stage sampling technique was applied on 1,200 households. Cost-of-Calories (COC) method and Logit model are used as analytical techniques for the study. Based on the recommended daily energy levels of 2,250 kcal, food insecurity line (s) for the households is N23, 700.12 or US $176.87 per adult equivalent per year. Over 58% of the sample households are therefore food insecure. Major determinants of this food insecurity factors are, household size, gender, educational level, farm size and type of household farm enterprise. Policy measures directed towards the provision of better family planning should be given adequate attention and priority by the Government in addition to improved access to education, credit facility and agricultural extension services by rural households. The poster plan begins with the introduction in section 1, followed by study objectives in section 2. The description of the study area and sampling procedure are presented in section 3, followed the analytical technique section 4. The results are presented and discussed in section 5 and policy recommendations in section 6.

Specifically, we delineate the range of values for the cold dark matter relic abundance $Ω_χ h^2$, which will be consistent with the expected precision measurements at the LHC, and, subsequently, at the ILC. We illustrate our approach with a toy study of an "updated benchmark" point B'. We then show some preliminary results of a similar analysis along those lines of the LCC2 benchmark point in the focus point region.

The nitrogen nutrition of western redcedar, western hemlock, and salal : subtitle species-specific mechanisms for accessing nitrogen in cedar-hemlock forests on northern Vancouver Island
Creators: name: Bennett, Jennifer Nicole
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Old-growth cedar-hemlock (CH) forests on northern Vancouver Island are characterized by thick forest floors with large total nitrogen (N) contents and low extractable NO₃" and NH₄⁺ + concentrations. Western redcedar (Thujaplicata Donn.), western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla (Raf.)Sarge), and salal (Gaultheria shallon Pursh) growing in these forests are N-limited but show different productivities. Salal forms a vigorous understorey and cedar grows better than hemlock. The co-occurrence of cedar, hemlock and salal in N-poor CH forests and their respective productivities may be the result of the three species: 1. utilizing different organic and inorganic N forms. 2. having different rooting distributions allowing them to access spatially separated N pools. In this thesis, I attempted to evaluate the potential importance of these two mechanisms for providing N to cedar, hemlock and salal in these forests. In two pot trials, the abilities of the three species to take up and/or access different organic and inorganic N compounds were examined to determine species-specific differences in N form use. Cedar, hemlock and salal were all able to take up ¹⁵N & ¹³C-labelled glutamic acid intact and showed similar abilities to access ¹⁵N-labelled NO₃",NH₄⁺ + , glutamic acid, protein and protein-tannin compounds. Nitrate and NH₄⁺ + accounted for the largest proportions of N absorbed by the three species and were the most available sources of N during a 20-day period. To examine if differences in access to spatially separated N pools is possible, the vertical fine root distributions of cedar, hemlock and salal were measured in three old-growth CH forests. Salal and hemlock had the highest root densities in the upper forest floor horizons. In contrast, cedar showed a more even distribution of fine roots in the forest floor horizons and the upper 10 cm of mineral soil. These correlated patterns suggest that salal and hemlock are forced to share a common pool of resources because of overlapping depletion zones around the roots, whereas cedar probably has access to a greater proportion of N present in the lower forest floor and mineral soil horizons. It appears that accessing spatially separated N pools may be more important than differing organic and inorganic N uptake patterns in CH forests, and may, in part, explain the different productivities of cedar, hemlock and salal in these systems.

description: The Brazilian Interest Rate Equalization System (IRES) subsidizes farmers by providing them with credit at lower than market interest rates. The objective of this research is to evaluate the IRES by comparing its monetary cost with its benefits as measured by Brazilian GDP growth. Estimates are carried out using input-output matrix. The results suggest that each Brazilian real spent by IRES to assist Brazilian family farms increases Brazilian GDP by R$ 1.75 and that each real spent to assist commercial farms increases GDP by R$ 3.57. The IRES is a subsidy that generates economic growth greater than its cost to society.

description: This paper examines Australians' participation in beer, wine and spirits consumption using a trivariate probit model and unit-record data from the National Drug Strategy Household Surveys. It estimates the effects of social, economic and demographic factors on an individual's decisions of alcohol participation. The trivariate probit formulation allows for the potential correlation across the demand for the three products through unobserved personal characteristics. All three beverages are shown to have negative own-price elasticities and to be substitutes in participation. An alarming proportion of young Australians are found to be drinking spirits regularly due to the increasing popularity of pre-mixed sweet drinks.

description: While the estimation of the degree of market power is a widely discussed topic in the economic literature, the interaction between imperfectly competitive markets and agricultural policy modelling has been seldom considered in simulation models. This study empirically addresses this issue with an application to the Italian dairy sector. First, a model of imperfect competition is estimated using a multi-output framework drawn from a direct demand system. Then, results are used in a policy simulation model where the restricted hypothesis of perfect competition is used as a benchmark. Results show a significant degree of market power for some products that has a substantial implication on the projected policy scenario.

description: Let M be a smooth, compact, orientable, weakly pseudoconvex manifold of dimension 3, embedded in C^N (N greater than or equal to 2), of codimension one or more in C^N, and endowed with the induced CR structure. Assuming that the tangential Cauchy-Riemann operator \bar\partial_b has closed range in L^2 in order to rule out the Rossi example, we push regularity up to show \bar\partial_b has closed range in all Sobolev spaces s for s greater than zero. We then use the Szegö projection to show there is a smooth solution to the \bar\partial_b problem given smooth data. The results are obtained via microlocalization by piecing together estimates for functions and (0,1) forms that hold on different microlocal regions.

Noncritical osp(1|2,R) M-theory matrix model with an arbitrary time dependent cosmological constant

description: Dimensional reduction of the D=2 minimal super Yang-Mills to the D=1 matrix quantum mechanics is shown to double the number of dynamical supersymmetries, from N=1 to N=2. We analyze the most general supersymmetric deformations of the latter, in order to construct the noncritical 3D M-theory matrix model on generic supersymmetric backgrounds. It amounts to adding quadratic and linear potentials with arbitrary time dependent coefficients, namely, a cosmological `constant,' Lambda(t), and an electric flux background, rho(t), respectively. The resulting matrix model enjoys, irrespective of Lambda(t) and rho(t), two dynamical supersymmetries which further reveal three hidden so(1,2) symmetries. All together they form the supersymmetry algebra, osp(1|2,R). Each so(1,2) multiplet in the Hilbert space visualizes a dynamics constrained on either Euclidean or Minkowskian dS_{2}/AdS_{2} space, depending on its Casimir. In particular, all the unitary multiplets have the Euclidean dS_{2}/AdS_{2} geometry. We argue that the matrix model provides holographic duals to the 2D superstring theories on various backgrounds having the spacetime signature Minkowskian if Lambda(t)>0, or Euclidean if Lambda(t)<0.

description: This study used a unique 2003 survey dataset to analyse the developments in land use and exchange in Bulgaria. The survey analysis yields several results. Land is highly fragmented in Bulgaria which increases the need for an efficient exchange of land between owners and users of land. However, the land sales market is not well developed. In contrast, land rental agreements are very widespread. Land rental is widely used to exchange land between owners and users of the land. The users include a variety of farm types, including cooperatives, farming companies, and individual farms. While land titles are distributed and land plots clearly defined and delineated, an important property rights problem exists under the form of so-called "co-ownership". By law, certain plots are undividable among heirs because the plot size after division would fall under the imposed minimum plot size. Our estimation results show that co-ownership has a major impact on land use and allocation. Land under co-ownership and which is undividable by law, is more likely to be left abandoned or used by large enterprises - the default users of land given the history of land use in Bulgaria - compared to owner-cultivation or renting out to another household. Our analysis shows that solving co-ownership problems would not only stimulate efficient land allocation which in turn affects the household's welfare level. Land that is cultivated by the household or rented to an other household contributes more to its welfare than land that is rented to a cooperative or left abandoned.

description: We have carried out numerical simulations of strongly gravitating systems based on the Einstein equations coupled to the relativistic hydrodynamic equations using adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) techniques. We show AMR simulations of NS binary inspiral and coalescence carried out on a workstation having an accuracy equivalent to that of a $1025^3$ regular unigrid simulation, which is, to the best of our knowledge, larger than all previous simulations of similar NS systems on supercomputers. We believe the capability opens new possibilities in general relativistic simulations.

description: In this paper, we make an attempt to rationalize the strategic behavior of major peanut exporting and importing countries in the framework of imperfectly competitive markets with the focus on the global and inter-American peanut trade. This study is motivated by the fact that liberalizing imperfectly competitive and often distorted markets can have unorthodox effects, in particular increase the incentives to overuse certain trade policies. The results suggest that the South American peanut producers stand to benefit from the reductions in the U.S. peanut production supports but, paradoxically, preservation of a tariff may still be mutually welfare enhancing. In the broader context of global peanut trade, multi-lateral tariff reduction increases the low-cost exporters' incentives to subsidize export production, which benefits the consumers but hurts the higher-cost producers.

description: From standard-portfolio-models the authors derive demand elasticities for risky assets, and combine the results with a simple non-cooperative model of tax competition between capital importing countries. They find that tax rates resulting from tax competition depend heavily on the correlations of capital market indices. If investment alternatives are not correlated, the outcome of both tax competition and a cooperative solution of tax harmonization are identical. The results suggest regional cooperation among capital importing countries. Compared to the exemption method provisions like tax sparing aggravates the harms of tax competition. Die Autoren leiten aus dem Standard-Portfolio-Modell Nachfrageelastizitäten nach riskanten Anlagealternativen her und bringen diese in ein einfaches nicht-kooperatives spieltheoretisches Modell zum Steuerwettbewerb zwischen kapitalimportierenden Ländern ein. Wie sich zeigt, hängen die vom Steuerwettbewerb hervorgebrachten Steuersätze stark von den Korrelationen der Marktindices ab. Sind diese nicht korreliert, bringt der Steuerwettbewerb das gleiche Ergebnis hervor wie die kooperative Lösung einer Steuerharmonisierung. Die Ergebnisse liefern ferner Argumente für die regionale Kooperation kapitalimportierender Länder. Zudem wird gezeigt, dass die fiktive Anrechnung ausländischer Quellensteuern den Steuerwettbewerb verschärft.
A new time quantifiable Monte Carlo method in simulating magnetization reversal process

description: We propose a new time quantifiable Monte Carlo (MC) method to simulate the thermally induced magnetization reversal for an isolated single domain particle system. The MC method involves the determination of density of states, and the use of Master equation for time evolution. We derive an analytical factor to convert MC steps into real time intervals. Unlike a previous time quantified MC method, our method is readily scalable to arbitrarily long time scales, and can be repeated for different temperatures with minimal computational effort. Based on the conversion factor, we are able to make a direct comparison between the results obtained from MC and Langevin dynamics methods, and find excellent agreement between them. An analytical formula for the magnetization reversal time is also derived, which agrees very well with both numerical Langevin and time-quantified MC results, over a large temperature range and for parallel and oblique easy axis orientations.
