description: By using the effective field theory approach, we investigate the role of initial condition for the dark energy or modified gravity models. In details, we consider the constant and linear parametrization of the effective Newton constant models. Firstly, under the adiabatic assumption, the correction from the extra scalar degree of freedom in the beyond $Λ$CDM model is found to be negligible. The dominant ingredient in this setup is the primordial curvature perturbation originated from inflation mechanism, and the energy budget of the matter components is not very crucial. Secondly, the iso-curvature perturbation sourced by the extra scalar field is studied. For the constant and linear model of the effective Newton constant, there is no such kind of scalar mode exist. For the quadratic model, there is a non-trivial one. However, the amplitude of the scalar field is damped away very fast on all scales. Consequently, it could not support a reasonable structure formation. Finally, we study the importance of the setup of the scalar field starting time. By setting different turn-on time, namely $a=10^{-2} $ and $a=10^{-7} $, we compare the cosmic microwave background radiation temperature, lensing deflection angle auto-correlation function as well as the matter power spectrum in the constant and linear model. We find there is an order of $\mathcal{O}(1\%)$ difference in the observable spectra for constant model, while for the linear model, it is smaller than $\mathcal{O}(0.1\%)$.

Year: 2019

description: Enhancing farm income level is one of the main purpose of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). The ability to reach such a goal can be measured in terms of transfer efficiency, that is affected by the presence of distributive leakages through the agro-food system. The present work aims to shed light on the income distributional effects of the main forms of CAP subsidies in Italy over the period 2008–2014: single payment scheme, coupled payment and second pillar aids. To this aim, an Arellano–Bond linear dynamic panel-data estimation (based on a database provided by the Italian FADN) is performed. Results show that all the main types of CAP support have a significant income effect, even though some relevant differences occur between decoupled and coupled components of direct payments received by Italian farmers as a consequence of distributional leakages.

Positive Mathematical Programming and Risk Analysis

Publisher: name: Bio-based and Applied Economics
Year: 2019

description: In 1956, Freund introduced the analysis of agricultural price risk in a mathematical programming framework. His discussion admitted only constant absolute risk aversion. This paper generalizes the treatment of risk preference in a mathematical programming approach along the lines suggested by Meyer (1987) who demonstrated the equivalence of expected utility of wealth and a function of mean and standard deviation of wealth for a wide class of probability distributions that differ only by location and scale. This paper extends the definition of calibration under Positive Mathematical Programming (PMP) by considering limiting input prices along with the traditional decision variables. Furthermore, it shows how to formulate an analytical specification for the estimation of the risk preference parameters and calibrates the model to the base data within small deviations. The PMP approach under generalized risk allows also the estimation of output supply elasticities and the response analysis of decoupled farm subsidies that recently has interested policy makers. The approach is applied to a sample of farms that do not produce all the sample commodities.

description: Because of the denser active use of the spectrum, and because of radio telescopes higher sensitivity, radio frequency interference (RFI) mitigation has become a sensitive topic for current and future radio telescope designs. Even if quite sophisticated approaches have been proposed in the recent years, the majority of RFI mitigation operational procedures are based on post-correlation corrupted data flagging. Moreover, given the huge amount of data delivered by current and next generation radio telescopes, all these RFI detection procedures have to be at least automatic and, if possible, real-time. In this paper, the implementation of a real-time pre-correlation RFI detection and flagging procedure into generic high-performance computing platforms based on Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) is described, simulated and tested. One of these boards, UniBoard, developed under a Joint Research Activity in the RadioNet FP7 European programme is based on eight FPGAs interconnected by a high speed transceiver mesh. It provides up to ~4 TMACs with Altera Stratix IV FPGA and 160 Gbps data rate for the input data stream. Considering the high in-out data rate in the pre-correlation stages, only real-time and go-through detectors (i.e. no iterative processing) can be implemented. In this paper, a real-time and adaptive detection scheme is described. An ongoing case study has been set up with the Electronic Multi-Beam Radio Astronomy Concept (EMBRACE) radio telescope facility at Nançay Observatory. The objective is to evaluate the performances of this concept in term of hardware complexity, detection efficiency and additional RFI metadata rate cost. The UniBoard implementation scheme is described.

description: This study focuses on the Italian market for high quality olive oil and seeks at assessing the value of a set of emerging quality clues. To this aim a hedonic price model is proposed where the price is regressed on various product attributes using a quantile regression that allows for deeper insights. The analysis covers about one thousand Italian extra-virgin olive oils reviewed by Slow Food guide. Overall, results indicate that various quality clues (e.g.: variety of the olives, the production area, the certification of origin, the organic certification) are associated with relevant price premiums. Moreover, the quantile regression reveals the values associated to quality changes at different price levels. It is worthwhile to underline that the usual negative price premium against olive oils produced in Southern Italy tends to decrease in higher market segments.

description: Various roles of intestinal flora in the gut-brain axis response pathway have received enormous attention because of their unique position in intestinal flora-derived metabolites regulating hormones, inducing appetite, and modulating energy metabolism. Reward pathways in the brain play a crucial role in gut-brain communications, but the mechanisms have not been methodically understood. This review outlined the mechanisms by which leptin, ghrelin, and insulin are influenced by intestinal flora-derived metabolites to regulate appetite and body weight, focused on the significance of the paraventricular nucleus and ventromedial prefrontal cortex in food reward. The vagus nerve and mitochondria are essential pathways of the intestinal flora involved in the modulation of neurotransmitters, neural signaling, and neurotransmission in gut-brain communications. The dynamic response to nutrient intake and changes in the characteristics of feeding activity requires the participation of the vagus nerve to transmit messages to be completed. SCFAs, Bas, BCAAs, and induced hormones mediate the sensory information and reward signaling of the host in the complex regulatory mechanism of food selection, and the composition of the intestinal flora significantly impacts this process. Food reward in the process of obesity based on gut-brain communications expands new ideas for the prevention and treatment of obesity.

description: This paper investigates the impact of corporate research and development (R&D) on firm performance in the food-processing industry. We apply Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) with two step bootstrapping using a corporate data for 307 food-processing firms from the EU, US, Canada and Japan for the period 1991-2009. The estimates suggest that R&D has a positive effect on the firms’ performance, with marginal gains decreasing in the R&D level as well as the performance differences are detected across regions and food sectors. R&D investments in food processing can deliver productivity gains, beyond the high-tech sectors generally favoured by innovation policy.

description: A model of key processes influencing the evolution of a hydrocarbon grain of an arbitrary size under astrophysical conditions corresponding to ionized hydrogen regions (HII regions) and supernova remnants is presented. The considered processes include aromatization and photodestruction, sputtering by electrons and ions, and shattering due to collisions between grains. The model can be used to simulate the grain size distribution and the aromatization degree during the evolution of HII regions and supernova remnants for a specified radiation field, relative velocity of gas and dust, etc. The contribution of various processes to the evolution of hydrocarbon dust grains for parameters typical for the interstellar medium of our Galaxy is presented. Small grains (less than 50 carbon atoms) should be fully aromatized in the general interstellar medium. If larger grains initially have an aliphatic structure, it is preserved to a substantial extent. Variations in the size distribution of the grains due to their mutual collisions depend appreciably on the adopted initial size distribution. For the MRN initial distribution a significant redistribution of grain sizes is obtained, which increases the mass fraction of smaller grains. Characteristic for an initial distribution from the work of Jones et al. (2013), with high initial fraction of small grains, is a general decrease in the number of grains of all sizes.

subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Privacy has become a serious concern for modern Information Societies. The sensitive nature of much of the data that are daily exchanged or released to untrusted parties requires that responsible organizations undertake appropriate privacy protection measures. Nowadays, much of these data are texts (e.g., emails, messages posted in social media, healthcare outcomes, etc.) that, because of their unstructured and semantic nature, constitute a challenge for automatic data protection methods. In fact, textual documents are usually protected manually, in a process known as document redaction or sanitization. To do so, human experts identify sensitive terms (i.e., terms that may reveal identities and/or confidential information) and protect them accordingly (e.g., via removal or, preferably, generalization). To relieve experts from this burdensome task, in a previous work we introduced the theoretical basis of C-sanitization, an inherently semantic privacy model that provides the basis to the development of automatic document redaction/sanitization algorithms and offers clear and a priori privacy guarantees on data protection; even though its potential benefits C-sanitization still presents some limitations when applied to practice (mainly regarding flexibility, efficiency and accuracy). In this paper, we propose a new more flexible model, named (C, g(C))-sanitization, which enables an intuitive configuration of the trade-off between the desired level of protection (i.e., controlled information disclosure) and the preservation of the utility of the protected data (i.e., amount of semantics to be preserved). Moreover, we also present a set of technical solutions and algorithms that provide an efficient and scalable implementation of the model and improve its practical accuracy, as we also illustrate through empirical experiments.
Scattering V-type asteroids during the giant planets instability: A step for Jupiter, a leap for basalt

description: V-type asteroids are a taxonomic class whose surface is associated to a basaltic composition. The only known source of V-type asteroids in the Main Asteroid Belt is (4) Vesta, that is located in the inner part of the belt. However, many V-type asteroids cannot be dynamically linked to Vesta., in particular, those asteroids located in the middle and outer parts of the Belt. Previous works have failed to find mechanisms to transport V-type asteroids from the inner to the middle and outer belt. In this work we propose a dynamical mechanism that could have acted on primordial asteroid families. We consider a model of the giant planets migration known as the jumping Jupiter model with five planets. Our study is focused on the period of 10 Myr that encompasses the instability phase of the giant planets. We show that, for different hypothetical Vesta-like paleo-families in the inner belt, the perturbations caused by the ice giant that is scattered into the asteroid belt before being ejected from the solar system, are able to scatter V-type asteroids to the middle and outer belt. Based on the orbital distribution of V-type candidates identified from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and the VISTA Survey colours, we show that this mechanism is efficient enough provided that the hypothetical paleo-family originated from a 100 to 500 km crater excavated on the surface of (4) Vesta. This mechanism is able to explain the currently observed V-type asteroids in the middle and outer belt, with the exception of (1459) Magnya.

description: This paper considers the factorization of elliptic symbols which can be represented by matrix-valued functions. Our starting point is a \textit{Fundamental Factorization Theorem}, due to Budjanu and Gohberg. We critically examine the work of Shamir, together with some corrections and improvements as proposed by Duduchava. As an integral part of this work, we give a new and detailed proof that certain sub-algebras of the Wiener algebra on the real line satisfy a sufficient condition for right standard factorization. Moreover, assuming only the Fundamental Factorization Theorem, we provide a complete proof of an important result from Shargorodsky, on the factorization of an elliptic homogeneous matrix-valued function, useful in the context of the inversion of elliptic systems of multidimensional singular integral operators in a half-space.

description: We present evolutionary calculations for the size and aromatization degree distributions of interstellar dust grains, driven by their destruction by radiation, collisions with gas particles, and shattering due to grain-grain collisions. Based on these calculations we model dust emission spectra. The initial grain size distribution play the important role in the evolution of an ensemble of dust particles. Radiation in the considered intensity range mostly aromatizes grains. The smallest grains are mainly destructed via sputtering by collisions with gas particles. There are no grains smaller than 20~Å in the medium at relative gas-dust velocities more than 50~km/s, which is typical for shocks in supernova remnants. The IR emission spectrum changes significantly due to the dust evolution depending on the adopted grain properties, in particular, on the energy of the C--C bonds ($E_0$). Aromatic bands in the near-IR (2--15~$μ$m) are absent, if $E_0$ is low, even when the medium properties correspond to the average interstellar medium in our Galaxy. As in reality these bands are observed, high $E_0$ values are more preferable. We consider dependence of the emission intensity ratios for various photometric bands on the medium properties. The aromatization degree of small grains shows up most strongly in the $I_{3.4}/I_{11.3}$ intensity ratio while the fraction of aromatic grains in the total dust mass influences the $I_{3.3}/I_{70+160}$ ratio.

description: This study aims to evaluate the impact of two menu-labeling formats on changes in dietary choices in an away-from-home meal, specifically in a university cafeteria. A field experiment at a university cafeteria in Italy was conducted providing two different types of nutritional labels. The experiment lasted four days, spread over two weeks during which a total of 930 observations were collected. During each day of the experiment, only in one food line (treated line) a label indicating the healthy options was displayed, while in the other line no label was presented (control line). The paper describes two indexes to measure how the selected food choices for each participant are in line with what suggested by the labels. We define five different classes of these indexes and we test our hypothesis using an ordered logit model. Results show the labels we provided had no significant impact on changing the tray composition, in accordance with other previous experiments suggesting that adding only nutritional information in a restaurant setting does not necessarily encourage healthier choices. The paper concludes highlighting the need of a multifaceted approach to design effective public policies enhancing healthier choices in a self-service restaurant. Specifically, the provision of nutritional information by itself can have zero or low impact unless it synergizes with others instruments such as nutritional education, social norm provision and nudges. In the conclusions, some suggestions on public policies addressing the promotion of healthy food habits are given.

description: The exposure of farmers to different (and increasing) risks has been recognized by the EU policy, which supports several risk management tools through the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). Despite the vulnerability of the agricultural sector, and the attention paid at the EU level, the uptake of such tools is generally low across EU countries. The Italian case is emblematic: the uptake of subsidized crop insurance contracts is low, limited to few products, and concentrated in few areas. Coherently, the interest of policy makers toward explaining these characteristics and in gaining insights on the interventions that may help promoting participation is intense. This contribution investigates behavioral aspects linked to choices under risk and ambiguity, and account for time preferences in order to mimic the scenario faced by the potential adopters of the subsidized crop insurance contracts in Italy. Data are collected through questionnaires submitted to students from agricultural colleges in three administrative regions located in northern, central and southern Italy. Results show that attitude toward risk, ambiguity, and impatience are correlated with the intrinsic characteristics of respondents. In addition, some of those attitudes may help explaining decisions under uncertainty. Despite the empirical analysis is preliminary and focused on students, it allowed to validate a promising methodological approach capable of explaining farmer’s willingness to adopt (or renew) insurance contracts. By accounting for (currently under-investigated) behavioral aspects, it is likely to prove useful to re-design or implementing, more effectively, the current policies.

Total Variation Denoising via the Moreau Envelope

description: Total variation denoising is a nonlinear filtering method well suited for the estimation of piecewise-constant signals observed in additive white Gaussian noise. The method is defined by the minimization of a particular non-differentiable convex cost function. This paper describes a generalization of this cost function that can yield more accurate estimation of piecewise constant signals. The new cost function involves a non-convex penalty (regularizer) designed to maintain the convexity of the cost function. The new penalty is based on the Moreau envelope. The proposed total variation denoising method can be implemented using forward-backward splitting.

description: Hand motion capture has been an active research topic in recent years, following the success of full-body pose tracking. Despite similarities, hand tracking proves to be more challenging, characterized by a higher dimensionality, severe occlusions and self-similarity between fingers. For this reason, most approaches rely on strong assumptions, like hands in isolation or expensive multi-camera systems, that limit the practical use. In this work, we propose a framework for hand tracking that can capture the motion of two interacting hands using only a single, inexpensive RGB-D camera. Our approach combines a generative model with collision detection and discriminatively learned salient points. We quantitatively evaluate our approach on 14 new sequences with challenging interactions.

UHI is a urban climate phenomenon referring to the air temperature difference between rural and urban areas. We use multi-year data for urban-rural temperature differences, combined with building footprint data and a simple heat radiation scaling model to demonstrate for more than 50 cities world-wide that structural morphology -- measured by a building distribution function and the sky view factor -- explains city-to-city variations in nocturnal UHI. Our results show that the relation between UHI and the morphology is significantly stronger than the one with population, which in the past has been considered as the dominant factor.

description: In this paper we consider $N \times N$ real generalized Wigner matrices whose entries are only assumed to have finite $(2 + \varepsilon)$-th moment for some fixed, but arbitrarily small, $\varepsilon > 0$. We show that the Stieltjes transforms $m_N (z)$ of these matrices satisfy a weak local semicircle law on the nearly smallest possible scale, when $η= \Im (z)$ is almost of order $N^{-1}$. As a consequence, we establish bulk universality for local spectral statistics of these matrices at fixed energy levels, both in terms of eigenvalue gap distributions and correlation functions, meaning that these statistics converge to those of the Gaussian Orthogonal Ensemble (GOE) in the large $N$ limit.

A kinetic study of microwave start-up of tokamak plasmas

description: A kinetic model for studying the time evolution of the distribution function for microwave start-up is presented. The model for the distribution function is two dimensional in momentum space, but, for simplicity and rapid calculations, has no spatial dependence. Experiments on the Mega Amp Spherical Tokamak have shown that the plasma current is carried mainly by electrons with energies greater than $70$ keV, and effects thought to be important in these experiments are included, i.e. particle sources, orbital losses, the loop voltage and microwave heating, with suitable volume averaging where necessary to give terms independent of spatial dimensions. The model predicts current carried by electrons with the same energies as inferred from the experiments, though the current drive efficiency is smaller.

Anthropogenic influences on groundwater in the vicinity of a long-lived radioactive waste repository

description: The groundwater flow system in the Culebra Dolomite Member (Culebra) of the Permian Rustler Formation is a potential radionuclide release pathway from the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP), the only deep geological repository for transuranic waste in the United States. In early conceptual models of the Culebra, groundwater levels were not expected to fluctuate markedly, except in response to long-term climatic changes, with response times on the order of hundreds to thousands of years. Recent groundwater pressures measured in monitoring wells record more than 25 m of drawdown. The fluctuations are attributed to pumping activities at a privately-owned well that may be associated with the demand of the Permian Basin hydrocarbon industry for water. The unprecedented magnitude of drawdown provides an opportunity to quantitatively assess the influence of unplanned anthropogenic forcings near the WIPP. Spatially variable realizations of Culebra saturated hydraulic conductivity and storativity were used to develop groundwater flow models to estimate a pumping rate for the private well and investigate its effect on advective transport. Simulated drawdown shows reasonable agreement with observations (average Model Efficiency coefficient = 0.7). Steepened hydraulic gradients associated with the pumping reduce estimates of conservative particle travel times across the domain by one-half and shift the intersection of the average particle track with the compliance boundary by more than two kilometers. The value of the transient simulations conducted for this study lie in their ability to (i) improve understanding of the Culebra groundwater flow system and (ii) challenge the notion of time-invariant land use in the vicinity of the WIPP.

description: Poor prognosis, rapid progression and the lack of an effective treatment make pancreatic cancer one of the most lethal malignancies. Recent studies point to a role for liver receptor homolog-1 (LRH-1) in pathogenesis of pancreatic cancer and suggest prevention of the β-catenin/LRH-1 complex formation as a potential strategy for inhibition of the pancreas cancer cells progression. In the current investigation, we have followed a biomimetic strategy and designed an affinity peptide with sequence DEMEEPQQTE to inhibit formation of the β-catenin/LRH-1 complex. Quantitative real-time PCR experiments on the AsPC-1 pancreatic metastatic cells showed that the peptide has an inhibitory effect on the Wnt signaling proliferation line by reducing the expression levels of the CCND1, CCNE1, and MYC genes. Furthermore, the increased expression level of BAX gene showed that AsPC-1 cells were directed to the apoptosis pathway. At last, POU5F1, KLF4, and CD44 gene expression levels suggested that the peptide has an inhibitory effect on the stemness feature of the AsPC-1 cells. Here, we introduced a novel peptide inhibitor targeting an important protein–protein interaction, the β-catenin/LRH-1 complex, which may provide highly promising starting points for subsequent drug design.
