description: Of the number of seasonal forecasting systems that have been developed of late, none are of practical benefit to Western Australian farmers. This study aims to improve the methodology for assessing the value of forecasting technology ex ante to its development, using the Merredin agricultural region of Western Australia as an illustration. Results suggest that a seasonal forecasting technology that provides a 30 per cent decrease in seasonal uncertainty increases annual profits by approximately five per cent. The accumulated annual benefit to farmers in the Merredin region (an area with 754 farm holdings over 35, 500 square kilometres of land) is approximately two million dollars. Hence, support is given for the development of seasonal forecasting techniques in Western Australia.

description: In hadronic Z decays, we compare Bose-Einstein correlations in \Pgpz pairs with those in identical charged pion pairs. We also measure Bose-Einstein correlations in triplets of identical charged pions. From the first study, the source radius is found to be smaller for \Pgpz-\Pgpz than for \Pgppm-\Pgppm, as would be expected, e.g., in a string model. However, the second study shows that the data are consistent with the pion production being completely incoherent. Both studies use data collected by the L3 collaboration at LEP.

description: Three policy options for greenhouse gas abatement in the predominantly grazing systems of Western Australia are analysed. The two taxation policies (a tax on total emissions, and a tax on methane emissions only) are only effective at extreme tax rates ($85/t CO2 equivalents) where the farming systems are economically unviable. The third policy option, emission restrictions, allows the farm to remain profitable at approximately four times greater abatement levels than the taxation policies, and is found to be the most effective and efficient policy option studied. However, it is concluded that the introduction of any farm-level policy for greenhouse gas abatement would be politically unpopular and, in the absence of swift and innovative technological change, would cause the current farming systems to fail and be replaced by alternative land-uses.

description: Weak gravitational lensing of the 21 cm radiation is expected to be an important cosmological probe for post-reionization physics. We investigate the reconstruction of the matter density perturbations using a quadratic minimum variance estimator. The next generation of line intensity mapping (LIM) surveys such as HIRAX and CHIME will cover a larger sky fraction, which requires one to account for the curvature in the sky. Thus, we extend the plane-parallel flat-sky formalism for lensing reconstruction to account for a full-sky survey using the Spherical Fourier-Bessel (SFB) expansion. Using the HIRAX 21 cm survey as a basis, we make predictions for lensing-reconstruction noise in our formalism and compare our results with the predictions from the plane-parallel formalism. We find agreement with the plane-parallel noise power spectrum at small scales and a significant deviation at scales $L\lesssim \ell_{\rm res}-k_{\rm eq}R$ where $R$ is the radius of the shell volume, $k_{\rm eq}$ is the wavenumber for matter-radiation equality, and $\ell_{\rm res}$ is the angular resolution scale. Furthermore, we derive the SFB flat-sky reconstruction noise and compare it with the full-sky SFB case as well as the plane-parallel case, finding minor deviations from the full-sky noise due to sphericity. We also determine that, in the absence of non-Gaussian statistics of the intensity field but accounting for foregrounds, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for $C_\ell^{ϕϕ}$ using our SFB estimator increases by 107%. This shows that accounting for the curved sky in LIM weak lensing will be crucial for large-scale cosmology.

Some Phenomenological Consequences of the Time-Ordered Perturbation Theory of QED on Noncommutative Spacetime

description: A framework was recently proposed for doing perturbation theory on noncommutative (NC) spacetime. It preserves the unitarity of S matrix and differs from the naive, popular approach already at the lowest order in perturbation when time does not commute with space. In this work, we investigate its phenomenological implications at linear colliders, especially the TESLA at DESY, through the processes of e^+e^-\toμ^+μ^-,H^+H^-,H^0H^0. The results are indeed found to be very different from the ones obtained in the naive approach. The first two get corrected at tree level as opposed to the null result in the naive approach, while the third one coincides with the naive result only in the low energy limit. The impact of the Earth rotation is incorporated. The NC signals are generally significant when the NC scale is comparable to the collider energy. If this is not the case, the nontrivial azimuthal angle distribution and day-night asymmetry of events due to Lorentz violation and the Earth rotation will be useful in identifying signals. We also comment briefly on the high energy behaviour of the cross section that grows up linearly in the center of mass energy squared and argue that it does not necessarily contradict some statements, e.g., the Froissart-Martin bound, achieved in ordinary theory.

description: A single electron transistor (SET) consisting of parallel double quantum dots fabricated in a GaAs/Al$_{x}$Ga$_{1-x}$As heterostructure crystal is demonstrated to serve as an extremely high sensitive detector of submillimeter waves (SMMW). One of the double dots is ionized by SMMW via Kohn-mode plasma excitation, which affects the SET conductance through the other quantum dot yielding the photoresponse. Noise equivalent power of the detector for wavelengths about 0.6 mm is estimated to reach the order of $10^{-17}$ W/$\sqrt{Hz}$ at 70 mK.

description: In this study, we have used a Zr-Nb alloy containing well-defined nano-precipitates as a model material in which to study imaging contrast inversions (atomic number or diffraction contrast) observed with the forescattered electron imaging system, ARGUSTM, in a scanning electron microscope (SEM) when imaging a thin foil in a transmission geometry. The study is based on Monte Carlo simulations and analysis of micrographs experimentally acquired under different imaging conditions. Based on the results, imaging conditions that enhance atomic number or diffraction contrast have been proposed. Data acquired from the ARGUSTM imaging system in SEM has also been compared with results from standard transmission electron microscopy and scanning transmission electron microscopy imaging of the same material. These results demonstrate the capability of the ARGUSTM system to investigate microstructures in nano-scale materials.

description: Presenilins 1 and 2 (PS1 or PS2) are main genetic risk factors of familial Alzheimer’s disease (AD) that produce the β-amyloid (Aβ) peptides and also have important stand-alone functions related to, e.g. calcium signaling. Most work so far has focused on PS1, but humans carry both PS1 and PS2, and mutations in both cause AD. Here, we develop a computational model of PS2 in the membrane to address the question how pathogenic PS2 mutations affect the membrane-embedded protein. The models are based on cryo-electron microscopy structures of PS1 translated to PS2, augmented with missing residues and a complete all-atom membrane–water system, and equilibrated using three independent 500-ns simulations of molecular dynamics with a structure-balanced force field. We show that the nine-transmembrane channel structure is substantially controlled by major dynamics in the hydrophilic loop bridging TM6 and TM7, which functions as a ‘plug’ in the PS2 membrane channel. TM2, TM6, TM7 and TM9 flexibility controls the size of this channel. We find that most pathogenic PS2 mutations significantly reduce stability relative to random mutations, using a statistical ANOVA test with all possible mutations in the affected sites as a control. The associated loss of compactness may also impair calcium affinity. Remarkably, similar properties of the open state are known to impair the binding of substrates to γ-secretase, and we thus argue that the two mechanisms could be functionally related.

description: Enhancing water use efficiency (WUE) of crops in irrigated agriculture and drought tolerance in rain-fed agriculture is the major goal for sustaining and enhancing agricultural productivity in the future. The phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) signaling pathway is a major target for the agronomic management of WUE and genetic improvement of drought tolerance in crops. The START domain proteins PYRABACTIN RESISTANCE1 (PYR1)/PYR1-like (PYL)/Regulatory Components of ABA Receptors (RCARs) of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana have been characterized as bona fide ABA receptors (ABARs). ABA signaling pathway can be activated or repressed by using specific agonist and antagonist against ABAR and therefore, can be used to control ABA-mediated physiological changes in plants. In the present work, we have reported the 3 D structure models of three ABARs (OsPYL1-3) from drought-tolerant Indica rice N22 (Oryza sativa L. sp. Indica cv N22) in apo- and ligand-bound conformations developed using comparative modeling techniques. Subsequently, these models were used in docking study to investigate the binding mode of known ABAR agonists and antagonists. Further, molecular dynamics studies on the selected systems verified the residues involved in protein-ligand interactions. The study identified the important ligand-binding features for the future development of specific agonists/antagonists to modulate the ABA activity in O. sativa and provides in silico models for designing and virtual screening to identify potent ABA receptor ligands.

Distributing the Value of a Country’s Tradeable Carbon Permits

subject: carbon permits
subject: distribution
subject: political acceptability

description: A general proposal is made for initially distributing the total value of tradeable carbon permits in a developed country, which tries to balance allocative and informational efficiency, political acceptability, and equity. Because of the macroeconomic significance of carbon, the proposal is quite different from and more complex than, say, the distribution used for SO2 permits in the US sulphur trading programme. We suggest that acceptability requires a political (but not legal) principle of compensating for the profit that an industry loses because of carbon control. However, fossil fuel demand is relatively inelastic, so making all permits free (grandfathered) to industries while reducing total carbon use would give them large monopoly profits which would overcompensate for their losses. Compensation therefore requires only a small proportion (much less than half) of an industry’s carbon permits to be free. Remaining permits would be auctioned, or given free to households. If a sizeable part of permits is auctioned with revenues recycled as lower rates of corporate and/or personal income tax, then most firms outside the fossil fuel industries would benefit from carbon control, and so need no compensation. We argue that consumers also deserve compensation for higher prices of fuel and carbonintensive products. The split of such compensation between lump sums (free permits or cash) and personal tax cuts depends on the desired balance between equity and efficiency. Arguments are also discussed for distributing permit value as assistance to workers that face unemployment caused by carbon control. Many other details of a distribution scheme are discussed, such as where permits should be acquitted, whether free permits distort competition, whether foreign-owned firms should get free permits, and whether free permits should be phased out.

description: We prove the Jonson-Mahan theorem for the thermopower of the Falicov-Kimball model by solving explicitly for the correlation functions in the large dimensional limit. We prove a similar result for the thermal conductivity. We separate the results for thermal transport into the pieces of the heat current that arise from the kinetic energy and those that arise from the potential energy. Our method of proof is specific to the Falicov-Kimball model, but illustrates the near cancellations between the kinetic-energy and potential-energy pieces of the heat current implied by the Jonson-Mahan theorem.

description: We study the superconducting properties of a two-dimensional superconductor in the proximity to an electronic topological transition (ETT). In contrast to the 3D case, we find that the superconducting gap at T=0, the critical temperature Tc, and the impurity scattering rate are characterized by a nonmonotonic behavior, with maxima occurring close to the ETT. We derive analytical expressions for the value of such maxima both in the s-wave and in the d-wave case. Such expressions are in good qualitative agreement with the phenomenological trend recently observed for Tc^max as a function of the hopping ratio t'/t across several cuprate compounds. We further analyze the effect of an ETT on the Ginzburg-Landau stiffness eta. Instead of vanishing at the ETT, as could be expected, thus giving rise to an increase of the fluctuation effects, in the case of momentum-independent electron-electron interaction, we find eta different from 0, as a result of an integration over the whole Fermi surface.

Subjects: Risk and Uncertainty

description: Loss aversion has become the dominant alternative to expected utility theory for modeling choice under uncertainty. The setting of the base payment in contracts provides an interesting application of referenced based decision theory. The impact of loss aversion on contract structure depends critically on whether reservation opportunities (outside options) are evaluated with respect to the reference point implied in the contract. We show that when reservation opportunities are independent of the reference point, reward contracts are optimal. However, when reservation opportunities are evaluated against the reference point, then penalty contracts are more efficient.
Non-global logarithms in inter-jet energy flow with kt clustering requirement

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: Recent work in inter-jet energy flow has identified a class of leading logarithms previously not considered in the literature. These so-called non-global logarithms have been shown to have significant numerical impact on gaps-between-jets calculations at the energies of current particle colliders. Here we calculate, at fixed order and to all orders, the effect of applying clustering to the gluonic final state responsible for these logarithms for a trivial colour flow 2 jet system. Such a clustering algorithm has already been used for experimental measurements at HERA. We find that the impact of the non-global logarithms is reduced, but not removed, when clustering is demanded, a result which is of considerable interest for energy flow observable calculations.

description: The adaptogenic properties of alkylglycerols (AGs) after 1 month’s treatment were investigated in a rat model of acute immobilization stress (AIS). The animals receiving AGs 157 mg/kg showed a body weight (BW) decrease in addition to a more pronounced increase in the adrenal glands index under stress conditions. Also, AGs at this dose prevented AIS-induced catalase inhibition. In addition, antiulcerative AG effects were already detected at a dose of 15 mg/kg. The data indicate that AGs promote adrenal gland activation in AIS. At the same time, AGs neutralize some of negative effects of stressful conditions, which include restoration of the oxidation–reduction balance, reduction of gastric mucosal stress lesion formation.LAY SUMMARYThe effect of alkylglycerols, ether lipids from marine organisms, was studied in stressed animals. AGs have antioxidant activity and can be useful in the complex therapy of stomach lesions. The effect of alkylglycerols, ether lipids from marine organisms, was studied in stressed animals.

description: The spatial behavior of Landau levels (LLs) for the $nu=1$ quantum Hall regime at the edge of a wide channel is studied in a self-consistent way by using a generalized local density approximation proposed here. Both exchange interaction and strong electron correlations, due to edge states, are taken into account. They essentially modify the spatial behavior of the occupied lowest spin-up LL in comparison with that of the lowest spin-down LL, which is totally empty. The contrast in the spatial behavior can be attributed to a different effective one-electron lateral confining potentials for the spin-split LLs. Many-body effects on the spatially inhomogeneous spin-splitting are calculated within the screened Hartree-Fock approximation. It is shown that, far from the edges, the maximum activation energy is dominated by the gap between the Fermi level and the bottom of the spin-down LL, because the gap between the Fermi level and the spin-up LL is much larger. In other words, the maximum activation energy in the bulk of the channel corresponds to a highly asymmetric position of the Fermi level within the gap between spin-down and spin-up LLs in the bulk. We have also studied the renormalization of the edge-state group velocity due to electron correlations. The results of the present theory are in line with those suggested and reported by experiments on high quality samples.

description: A price discrimination model is proposed to explain extraneous information provided by internet sales sites for agricultural inputs. Whether an informative site is offered depends on price discrimination potential, which depends on how much farmers reveal heterogeneity by internet behavior. Price discrimination is greater if information benefits are negatively correlated with farm-size, explaining why extraneous (not product-related) information is offered on internet sales sights. Price discrimination adversely affects some farmers but may be beneficial on average because it generates free information. Outcomes depend on whether internet users are aware of price differentials generated by the reverse flow of clickstream information.

description: This research examines the effect of three factors—cheap talk, voting, and the status quo of the donation—on the voluntary contribution mechanism (VCM). Using undergraduate business students, results show that contributions as a percent of income in the last of ten rounds range from 18% for the case of no cheap talk, no voting, and a status quo of not giving to 94% in the case where all three contexts are combined. These results demonstrate the surprising result that context can make the simple VCM produce sustained efficiencies similar to incentive compatible public-good mechanisms.

description: The degradation of ultrathin oxide layers in the presence of a stress voltage is modeled in terms of two antagonist percolation processes taking place in a random resistor network. The resistance and leakage current fluctuations are studied by MonteCarlo simulations for voltages below the breakdown threshold. An increase of excess noise together with a noticeable non-Gaussian behavior is found in the pre-breakdown regime in agreement with experimental results.

Maximum Non-Perturbative Strong Interaction Hypothesis and the Structures of Pomeron and Glueball

Year: 2001

description: In this paper we first emphasize the importance of the Pomeron (IP) for its asymptotically saturation the unitarity condition alone. After proper modified the field theory model for IP developed by Landshoff and Nochtmann, we argue that the exchange of IP in high energy $h-h'$ scattering embodies the hypothesis of the maximum non-perturbative strong interaction reaction (MNSIR) in which a constituent quark converts into a current quark and emits a color octet non-perturbative gluer. We think the IP is composed from the conjugated pair of such gluer. In the circle of non-perturbative fundamental entities in QCD, we argue that there should exist a new member -- the constituent gluon, it should be emerged in high energy $h-h'$ strong-soft processes, and the glueballs are produced via two constituent gluons fusion. Finally, we conjecture there may be an averaged dual relation between the glueballs and the Pomeron, but this correspondence may become as multi-to-one homologue.

description: Although photometric redshifts (photo-z's) are crucial ingredients for current and upcoming large-scale surveys, the high-quality spectroscopic redshifts currently available to train, validate, and test them are substantially non-representative in both magnitude and color. We investigate the nature and structure of this bias by tracking how objects from a heterogeneous training sample contribute to photo-z predictions as a function of magnitude and color, and illustrate that the underlying redshift distribution at fixed color can evolve strongly as a function of magnitude. We then test the robustness of the galaxy-galaxy lensing signal in 120 deg$^2$ of HSC-SSP DR1 data to spectroscopic completeness and photo-z biases, and find that their impacts are sub-dominant to current statistical uncertainties. Our methodology provides a framework to investigate how spectroscopic incompleteness can impact photo-z-based weak lensing predictions in future surveys such as LSST and WFIRST.

description: We examine the effects of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAAs) on ambient concentrations of PM10 in the United States between 1990 and 2005. We find that non-attainment designation has no effect on the ‘average monitor’ in non-attainment counties, after controlling for weather and socioeconomic characteristics at the county level. In sharp contrast, if we allow for heterogeneous treatment by type of monitor and county, we do find that the 1990 CAAAs produced substantial effects. Our best estimate suggests that PM10 concentrations at monitors with concentrations above the national annual standard dropped by between 7μg/m3 and 9μg/m3, which is roughly equivalent to a 11-14% drop. We also show that monitors which were in violation of the daily standard experience two fewer days in violation of the daily standard the following year. Empirical results suggest that this treatment effect is independent of whether the EPA has finalized the non-attainment designation.

description: We report the synthesis and the temperature dependencies of optical, dielectric, and elastic properties of four homologous dimeric mesogens in the uniaxial nematic (N) phase. The studied dimers are derived from 2ʹ,3ʹ-difluoroterphenyl units connected via flexible alkyl chains. The compounds differ in the length of either the flexible alkyl chain or the terminal groups. These achiral bimesogens exhibit the twist-bend nematic (NTB) phase with a nanoscale pitch of the modulated nematic director, as established by the freeze-fracture transmission electron microscopy. All four homologs have negative dielectric anisotropy owing to the permanent dipole oriented normal to the long molecular axes. A longer flexible bridge length yields an expanded temperature range of the N phase, stronger dielectric anisotropy, larger birefringence and bend elastic constant K33. Longer alkyl terminal chains increase birefringence but decrease the absolute value of dielectric anisotropy and K33. All four bimesogens show a dramatic decrease of K33 down to ~0.5 pN on approaching the N-NTB transition. A longer bridge yields a longer period of twist-bend modulation in the NTB phase.

description: In spite of its importance, passenger demand prediction is a highly challenging problem, because the demand is simultaneously influenced by the complex interactions among many spatial and temporal factors and other external factors such as weather. To address this problem, we propose a Spatio-TEmporal Fuzzy neural Network (STEF-Net) to accurately predict passenger demands incorporating the complex interactions of all known important factors. We design an end-to-end learning framework with different neural networks modeling different factors. Specifically, we propose to capture spatio-temporal feature interactions via a convolutional long short-term memory network and model external factors via a fuzzy neural network that handles data uncertainty significantly better than deterministic methods. To keep the temporal relations when fusing two networks and emphasize discriminative spatio-temporal feature interactions, we employ a novel feature fusion method with a convolution operation and an attention layer. As far as we know, our work is the first to fuse a deep recurrent neural network and a fuzzy neural network to model complex spatial-temporal feature interactions with additional uncertain input features for predictive learning. Experiments on a large-scale real-world dataset show that our model achieves more than 10% improvement over the state-of-the-art approaches.

Metallicity gradients in M31, M33, NGC 300 and the Milky Way using abundances of different elements

description: Metallicity gradients derived from planetary nebulae (PNe) using O, Ne, and Ar abundances are studied and compared to those from HII regions in the galaxies M31, M33, NGC 300 and the Milky Way. Galactocentric radii and chemical abundances were collected from the literature, carefully selecting a homogeneous sample for each galaxy. Metallicity gradients shown by PNe are flatter than those of HII regions in all cases. The extreme case is M31 where PN abundances are not related to galactocentric distances and the gradients are consistent with zero. To analyze the evolution of gradients with time we build gradients for Peimbert Type I and non-Type I PNe finding that Type I PNe show steeper gradients than non-Type I PNe and more similar to the ones of HII regions indicating that the chemical gradients might steepen with time. Alternatively, the flat gradients for old PNe show that radial migration could have an important role in the evolution of galaxies.
