Year: 2006
Subjects: Financial Economics

description: Scholars, public officials, and property owners have debated the administration of the property tax for decades. Scholars generally contend that the property tax is a good local revenue source while public officials and property owners loathe it. Much of the contention regarding the tax comes from equity issues related to assessment practices. This study examines an assessment process that was revamped from a decidedly unfair formula-based assessment to a market-value-in-use assessment. The objective of the study is to evaluate the new process through traditional measures and contemporary spatial analytic measures. The study contributes to the literature through its introduction of “spatial equity” measures.

description: We investigate theoretically the application of Sawtooth Wave Adiabatic Passage (SWAP) in a 1D magneto-optical trap (MOT). As opposed to related methods that have been previously discussed, our approach utilizes repeated cycles of stimulated absorption and emission processes to achieve both trapping and cooling, thereby reducing the adverse effects that arise from photon scattering. Specifically, we demonstrate this method's ability to cool, slow, and trap particles with fewer spontaneously emitted photons, higher forces and in less time when compared to a traditional MOT scheme that utilizes the same narrow linewidth transition. We calculate the phase space compression that is achievable and characterize the resulting system equilibrium cloud size and temperature.

description: We report the epitaxial growth of CryGe1-y and CryMnxGe1-x-y(001) thin films on GaAs(001), describe the structural and transport properties, and compare the measured magnetic properties with those predicted by theory. The samples are strongly p-type, and hole densities increase with Cr concentration. The CryGe1-y system remains paramagnetic for the growth conditions and low Cr concentrations employed (y < 0.04), consistent with density functional theory predictions. Addition of Cr into the ferromagnetic semiconductor MnxGe1-x host systematically reduces the Curie temperature and total magnetization.

description: Recent trials using cannabidiol (CBD) have shown that most acute and prolonged adverse effects of CBD are mild to moderate, with rare serious adverse effects (SAEs). This review focused on analyzing SAEs of CBD and their possible relation to drug–drug interactions. We systematically analyzed the SAEs reported in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving the administration of oral CBD for at least 1 week in both healthy volunteers and clinical samples. SAEs related to CBD in RCT are rare and include mainly elevated transaminases, convulsion, sedation, lethargy, and upper respiratory tract infections. Elevated transaminases are related to concomitant valproate use, while sedation, lethargy, and upper respiratory tract infections are related to concomitant clobazam use. Epileptic patients should be monitored when using CBD concomitantly with these and other antiepileptic drugs for other possible drug–drug interactions.

description: Background

Wounds impose a significant and often underappreciated burden to the healthcare system and society as a whole. In their treatment, knowledge of the epidemiologic pattern is necessary. There is little knowledge about the epidemiological pattern of wounds in Kenya.

Objective

The aim of this study was to determine the epidemiologic pattern of wounds in Kenya

Materials and Methods

A multicenter cross-sectional survey was carried out over a period of 2 weeks in select regional hospitals in Kenya. Patients who presented with wounds and healthcare providers across the select hospitals completed a wound care study questionnaire that captured wound etiology, duration of wound, and surgical intervention.

Results

The most common cause of wounds was trauma (38.6%), burns (16.2%), and post-surgical wounds (9.8%). The majority of patients with wounds (68%) were inpatient whereas 32% were outpatient. The mean age was 35 years with a range from 0 to 94 years. 55.8 % were male whereas 44% were female.

Conclusion

The majority of wounds in Kenya can be attributed to preventable causes, with trauma, burns, and post-surgical wound sepsis contributing to the largest proportion. Prompt and appropriate management of such wounds would thus reduce the wound disease burden in the country. It is essential to address the prevention of trauma and burns within the country while simultaneously enhancing training programs for the management of post-surgical wounds. Additionally, it is imperative to explore the factors that contribute to the occurrence of post-surgical wound sepsis.

description: This paper reviews the debate on the proposal to introduce a green payment in Pillar 1 of the CAP since the publication of the Commission’s legislative proposals for the EU’s Common Agricultural Policy post-2013 in October 2011 to June 2012. Both arms of the legislative authority have begun to formulate their positions in response to stakeholder reactions. Many relevant details of how the proposals will be implemented remain unclear, but an attempt is made to examine their potential contribution to environmental improvement. Increasing the ambition of agri-environment measures in rural development programmes in Pillar 2, combined with strengthened cross-compliance standards, could offer more effective environmental protection at a lower cost in terms of foregone food production. The legislative process to date indicates that the final outcome will be based on the Commission’s original ideas but there is still scope to improve the environmental impact of CAP spending in the next MFF period.

description: Loosely speaking, the concept of quantum typicality refers to the fact that a single pure state can imitate the full statistical ensemble. This fact has given rise to a rather simple but remarkably useful numerical approach to simulate the dynamics of quantum many-body systems, called dynamical quantum typicality (DQT). In this paper, we give a brief overview of selected applications of DQT, where particular emphasis is given to questions on transport and thermalization in low-dimensional lattice systems like chains or ladders of interacting spins or fermions. For these systems, we discuss that DQT provides an efficient means to obtain time-dependent equilibrium correlation functions for comparatively large Hilbert-space dimensions and long time scales, allowing the quantitative extraction of transport coefficients within the framework of, e.g., linear response theory. Furthermore, it is discussed that DQT can also be used to study the far-from-equilibrium dynamics resulting from sudden quench scenarios, where the initial state is a thermal Gibbs state of the pre-quench Hamiltonian. Eventually, we summarize a few combinations of DQT with other approaches such as numerical linked cluster expansions or projection operator techniques. In this way, we demonstrate the versatility of DQT.

Australia is the driest inhabited continent on the planet, with its moisture mostly sourced from the tropical monsoon in the north and the southern westerlies in the south. The continent has experienced large climate fluctuations in the geologic past, but long continuous records of palaeo-environmental changes are lacking, particularly prior to ~0.55Ma. Here, we address this paucity by presenting a continuous record of continental aridity and monsoonal activity in northwestern Australia since the Pliocene (5.3 Ma). Our records are based on bulk-chemical XRF-scans and particle-size distributions of the terrigenous fraction, in two cores from the northwestern Australian continental shelf: MD002361 and ODP122-762B. In our records we distinguish between aeolian- and fluvial sediments that were deposited at sea. Support for the distinction between aeolian and fluvial sediment fractions in the two marine sediment cores is found in the bulk-chemical composition of aeolian- and fluvial material in the potential source areas in northern West Australia. Our records show a warm and dry early Pliocene (~5.3 Ma) on the northwestern Australian continent, which experienced a gradual increase in humidity peaking at about 3.8 Ma with higher than present-day rainfall. Between 3.8 and about 2.8 Ma, climate became progressively more arid with more rainfall variability. Coinciding with the onset of the northern hemisphere glaciations and the intensification of the northern-hemisphere monsoon, aridity continued to increase overall from 2.8 Ma until today, with greater variance in precipitation and an increased frequency of large rainfall events. We associate the observed large-scale fluctuations in Australian aridity with variations in Indian Ocean sea-surface temperatures, which largely control the monsoonal precipitation in northwestern Australia.

description: University of Tuebingen, Germany

 The Cenozoic exhumational evolution of the Southern Patagonian Andes and its potential tectonic and climatic controls remain poorly constrained. Here, we integrate 21 new and 73 published bedrock thermochronological ages with 3D thermo-kinematic modelling (Pecube) to quantify exhumation pulses in the Torres del Paine area. This approach is used to identify temporal and spatial variations in exhumation rates before and after the start of Late Miocene glaciation. Our new AHe and ZHe ages range from 1.3 ± 0.7 Ma to 6.8 ± 1.6 Ma and from 13 ± 2.5 Ma to 86.3 ± 29.2 Ma, respectively. ZHe ages decrease westward with the youngest ages (~13 - ~19 Ma) being restricted to the deeply exhumed retroarc, which is in accordance with previous studies.

description: We give a proof of the following theorem of M. Gromov (Oka's principle for holomorphic sections of elliptic bundles, J. Amer. Math. Soc., 2 (1989), 851-897). Let Z be a holomorphic fiber bundle over a Stein manifold. If the fiber of Z admits a dominating holomorphic spray then the inclusion of the space of global holomorphic sections of Z into the space of continuous sections is a weak homotopy equivalence. In the classical case when the fiber is a complex Lie group or a homogeneous space this was proved by H. Grauert (Math. Ann., 135 (1958), 263--273). For further results in this direction see the papers math.CV/0101040, math.CV/0101040, math.CV/0101034, math.CV/0101238, math.CV/0107039, math.CV/0110201.

description: 3C 396 is a composite supernova remnant (SNR), consisting of a central pulsar wind nebula (PWN) and a bright shell in the west, which is known to be interacting with molecular clouds (MCs). We present a study of X-ray emission from the shell and the PWN of the SNR 3C 396 using archival Suzaku data. The spectrum of the SNR shell is clearly thermal, without a signature of a non-thermal component. The abundances of Al and Ca from the shell are slightly enhanced, which indicates the presence of metal-enriched supernova ejecta. The PWN spectra are well described by a power-law model with a photon index of $\sim$1.97 and a thermal component with an electron temperature of $\sim$0.93 keV. The analysis of about 11-years of Fermi data revealed an 18 sigma-detection of gamma-ray emission from the location overlapping with the position of 3C 396 / 4FGL J1903.8+0531. The spectrum of 3C 396 / 4FGL J1903.8+0531 is best-fitted with a log-parabola function with parameters of $α$ = 2.66 and $β$ = 0.16 in the energy range of 0.2$-$300 GeV. The luminosity of 3C 396 / 4FGL J1903.8+0531 was found to be $>$10$^{35}$ erg s$^{-1}$ at 6.2 kpc, which rules out the inverse Compton emission model. Possible scenarios of gamma-ray emission are hadronic emission and bremsstrahlung processes, due to the fact that the SNR is expanding into dense MCs in the western and northern regions of the SNR.

description: The behavior of lubricants at operational conditions, such as at high pressures, is a topic of great industrial interest. In particular, viscosity and the viscosity-pressure relation are especially important for applications and their determination by computational simulations is very desirable. In this study, we evaluate methods to compute these quantities based on fully atomistic molecular dynamics simulations, which are computationally demanding but also have the potential to be most accurate. We used the 9,10-dimethyloctadecane molecule, main component of PAO-2 base oil as the lubricant for our tests. The methods used for the viscosity simulations are the Green-Kubo equilibrium molecular dynamics (EMD-GK) and nonequilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD), at pressures of up to 1.0 GPa and various temperatures (40-150 degrees Celsius). We present the theory behind these methods and investigate how the simulation parameters affect the results obtained, to ensure viscosity convergence with respect to the simulation intervals and all other parameters. We show that, by using each method in its regime of applicability, we can achieve good agreement between simulated and measured values. NEMD simulations at high pressures captured zero shear viscosity successfully; while at 40 degrees Celsius, EMD-GK is only applicable to pressures up to 0.3 GPa, where the viscosity is lower. In NEMD, longer and multiply repeated simulations improve the confidence interval of viscosity, which is essential at lower pressures. Another aspect of these methods is the choice of the utilized force field for the atomic interactions. This was investigated by selecting two different commonly used force fields.

description: In this study, the nutritional and mineral composition of Diospyros kaki fruits from Apulia, Campania, Lazio, Sardinia and Sicily regions was evaluated. Dietary fiber, mineral, pectin, polyphenol, and protein contents were evaluated. Particularly high are the contents of the dietary fiber and pectins. The mineral elements profile was interesting due to its modest content of sodium and high potassium concentration. Protein amounts were in line with the quantities for this fruit. The total polyphenol content of the fruits analysed was very variable, interesting for the quantities found both total and gallic acid. The results obtained confirmed the nutritional value of this fruit even for special dietary regimens such as hypertension and heart diseases and the genuineness of its cultivation in Central-Southern Italy.

description: Using simulations and a simple mean-field theory, we investigate jamming transitions in a two-species lattice gas under non-equilibrium steady-state conditions. The two types of particles diffuse with different mobilities on a square lattice, subject to an excluded volume constraint and biased in opposite directions. Varying filling fraction, differential mobility, and drive, we map out the phase diagram, identifying first order and continuous transitions between a free-flowing disordered and a spatially inhomogeneous jammed phase. Ordered structures are observed to drift, with a characteristic velocity, in the direction of the more mobile species.

We present a microscopic theory for the interplay between light and matter and show how the slow light can provide an effective magnetic field acting on the electrically neutral fermions, a direct analogy of the free electron gas in an uniform magnetic field. As an example we illustrate how the corresponding de Haas-van Alphen effect can be seen in a neutral gas of fermions.

Scalable quantum computing stabilised by optical tweezers on an ion crystal

description: As it has been demonstrated that trapped ion systems have unmatched long-lived quantum-bit (qubit) coherence and can support high-fidelity quantum manipulations, how to scale up the system size becomes an inevitable task for practical purposes. In this work, we theoretically analyse the physical limitation of scalability with a trapped ion array, and propose a feasible scheme of architecture that in principle allows an arbitrary number of ion qubits, for which the overhead only scales linearly with the system size. This scheme relies on the combined ideas of a trap architecture of tunable size, stabilisation of an ion crystal by optical tweezers, and continuous sympathetic cooling without touching the stored information. We demonstrate that illumination of optical tweezers modifies the motional spectrum by effectively pinning the ions, lifting the frequencies of the motional ground modes. By doing so, we make the structure of the array less vulnerable from thermal excitations, and suppress the the position fluctuations to insure faithful gate operations. Finally, we also explore the local behaviour of cooling when a sub-array is isolated by optical tweezers from other parts of the crystal.

Their use allows one to preserve main part of relativistic effects but to classify the energy levels of an atom or an ion considered with the help of a set of quantum numbers of LS coupling scheme. Having in mind that the numerical values of the abovementioned transformation matrix (LS-jj) may be generally obtained in a very time consuming recurrent way, the analytical expressions of these matrices for a number of special cases of electronic configurations are presented.

description: The purpose of this study is to determine the reliability and validity of clinical tests used to assess cervical function, muscle strength and endurance in adults with neck pain and its associated disorders (NAD). Systematic review and update of the Bone and Joint Decade 2000–2010 Task Force on NAD. We systematically searched five electronic databases. Eligible reliability and validity studies were critically appraised using the QAREL and QUADAS-2 tools, respectively. Validity studies were ranked according to the Sackett and Haynes classification to determine clinical utility. Early studies of novel tests provide preliminary evidence, and phase III/IV studies are necessary to confirm the validity of tests in clinical practice. We conducted a best evidence synthesis. We screened 7846 citations and critically appraised 28 articles. Eighteen low risk of bias articles provide preliminary evidence of reliability and validity (phase I/II) for the cranio-cervical flexion test and deep cervical extensor (DCE) test in patients with NAD. Only two clinical tests were found to be reliable and valid. Cranio-cervical flexion test and DCE test could assess cervical muscle strength in adults with NAD. However, the evidence is supported by only phase I and II validity studies from the Sackett and Haynes classification.

We find that quantum predictions for such squeezed state violate these inequalities by an amount that grows with the number N.

The contribution of agricultural research in reducing real cost of production and attainment of food self-sufficiency has also been estimated for the country. The estimates of TFP have shown considerable variations across crops in different states and at all-India level during the period 1975-2005. These wide variations in TFP growth indicate that technological gains have not been experienced in a number of crops in many states. The TFP growth has helped in reducing the real cost of production in the range of 1.0–2.3 per cent annually in the case of cereals. This has helped in keeping the prices of cereals low for consumers and providing benefits to producers through a decline in the real cost of production. Returns to investment on agricultural research have been found to be a highly paying proposition. The study has suggested that further investments on research will generate significant returns. At the sector level (including crop and livestock), the TFP growth has contributed 15 per cent to output growth during 1990-91 to 2006-07. The returns to investment on agricultural research have been estimated at 42 per cent. Study has found that about one-fourth growth in the output of wheat and cotton, one-fifth in case of pearl millet, and around one-eighth in paddy and maize each have been achieved due to investments on agricultural research. In the year 2005-06, contribution of research in crop output has been estimated to be 10.4 Mt for wheat and 6.3 Mt for rice. In monetary terms, the contribution of research in the value of the nine selected crops has been computed as ` 1552 crore. The study has suggested a higher allocation of resources for development of agriculture in the country and attainment of national food and nutritional security.

description: We classify discrete modular symmetries in the effective action of Type IIB string on toroidal orientifolds with three-form fluxes, emphasizing on $T^6/\mathbb{Z}_2$ and $T^6/(\mathbb{Z}_2\times \mathbb{Z}_2^\prime)$ orientifold backgrounds. On the three-form flux background, the modular group is spontaneously broken down to its congruence subgroup whose pattern is severely constrained by a quantization of fluxes and tadpole cancellation conditions. We explicitly demonstrate that the congruence subgroups appearing in the effective action arise on magnetized D-branes wrapping certain cycles of tori.

description: The purpose of this study is to determine the reliability and validity of clinical tests used to assess cervical function, muscle strength and endurance in adults with neck pain and its associated disorders (NAD). Systematic review and update of the Bone and Joint Decade 2000–2010 Task Force on NAD. We systematically searched five electronic databases. Eligible reliability and validity studies were critically appraised using the QAREL and QUADAS-2 tools, respectively. Validity studies were ranked according to the Sackett and Haynes classification to determine clinical utility. Early studies of novel tests provide preliminary evidence, and phase III/IV studies are necessary to confirm the validity of tests in clinical practice. We conducted a best evidence synthesis. We screened 7846 citations and critically appraised 28 articles. Eighteen low risk of bias articles provide preliminary evidence of reliability and validity (phase I/II) for the cranio-cervical flexion test and deep cervical extensor (DCE) test in patients with NAD. Only two clinical tests were found to be reliable and valid. Cranio-cervical flexion test and DCE test could assess cervical muscle strength in adults with NAD. However, the evidence is supported by only phase I and II validity studies from the Sackett and Haynes classification.

description: Human navigation in built environments depends on symbolic spatial information which has unrealised potential to enhance robot navigation capabilities. Information sources such as labels, signs, maps, planners, spoken directions, and navigational gestures communicate a wealth of spatial information to the navigators of built environments; a wealth of information that robots typically ignore. We present a robot navigation system that uses the same symbolic spatial information employed by humans to purposefully navigate in unseen built environments with a level of performance comparable to humans. The navigation system uses a novel data structure called the abstract map to imagine malleable spatial models for unseen spaces from spatial symbols. Sensorimotor perceptions from a robot are then employed to provide purposeful navigation to symbolic goal locations in the unseen environment. We show how a dynamic system can be used to create malleable spatial models for the abstract map, and provide an open source implementation to encourage future work in the area of symbolic navigation. Symbolic navigation performance of humans and a robot is evaluated in a real-world built environment. The paper concludes with a qualitative analysis of human navigation strategies, providing further insights into how the symbolic navigation capabilities of robots in unseen built environments can be improved in the future.

The raw materials required by the European industry, especially metallic raw materials, are largely imported into the EU. Thus, Europe’s economic and social wellbeing relies on supplies from international sources and depends on secure and sustainable supply chains. This becomes especially vital when it comes to critical raw material (CRM) and base metals, needed in future-proved technologies to ensure the envisaged energy transition. However, Europe has a long lasting mining history. Metal ore deposits have been mined for hundreds of years. Some of these old mining sites still contain ore and large volumes of mine wastes, respectively. Originally being mined for their base metals content, many of these deposits never have been analyzed for CRM. Such historic mine sites could serve as future raw materials sources. Thus, they have the potential to feed into Europe’s demand of raw materials. Within the FRAME project, geological surveys from across Europe identify historic mine sites, collect information from existing national databases, analyze new samples and compose case studies. The project will include not only the main commodities of the deposits examined, but also focus on CRM contained in the ore, and in the residues from the mining or beneficiation processes. The project will feed site-specific data of ore deposits and mine wastes with their associated CRM potential into the pan-European knowledge base on raw materials: the GeoERA Information Platform. As part of GeoERA (https://geoera.eu/) FRAME has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement No 731166.

description: The study has analyzed the factors that determine dairy farmers’ choice of marketing channel and to what degree their market choice influence the level of commercialization or market participation in Uttarakhand. The study has used multinomial logit model to ascertain major factors influencing producers’ choice of marketing channels, Chow’s seminal test to examine differences between data from diverse regions (plains and hills) and a multivariate regression model to assess the level of market participation. The study has revealed that given the right institutional incentives and market infrastructure, marginal and small landholders are capable of scaling-up milk production and hence commercialize their dairy enterprises. The results of multinomial logit analysis have indicated that increase in the scale of milk production would lead a shift away from cooperatives to market as point of first sale. Milk production and extension contact have emerged as the two most important policy variables favourably influencing intensity of market participation. Distance to market has negatively influenced likelihood of producers’ market participation, irrespective of hills or plains. Once the households decide to sell, this variable has been found not to significantly impact their level of participation in the plains. However, distance to market has been observed to negatively impact intensity of market participation in the hills.

description: β-blockers are among the most widely prescribed of all drugs, used for treatment of a large number of cardiovascular diseases. Herein we evaluate literature pertaining to pharmacogenetics of β-blocker therapy, provide insight into the robustness of the genetic associations, and determine the appropriateness for translating these genetic associations into clinical practice. A literature search was conducted using PubMed to collate evidence on associations between CYP2D6, ADRB1, ADRB2, and GRK5 genetic variation and drug-response outcomes in the presence of β-blocker exposure. Pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, and clinical outcomes studies were included if genotype data and β-blocker exposure were documented. Substantial data suggest that specific ADRB1 and GRK5 genotypes are associated with improved β-blocker efficacy and have potential for use to guide therapy decisions in the clinical setting. While the data do not justify ordering a CYP2D6 pharmacogenetic test, if CYP2D6 genotype is available in the electronic health record, there may be clinical utility for understanding dosing of β-blockers.

description: We investigate phase transitions towards frequency entrainment in large, locally coupled networks of limit cycle oscillators. Specifically, we simulate two-dimensional lattices of pulse-coupled oscillators with random natural frequencies, resembling pacemaker cells in the heart. As coupling increases, the system seems to undergo two phasetransitions in the thermodynamic limit. At the first, the largest cluster of frequency entrained oscillators becomes macroscopic. At the second, global entrainment settles. Between the two transitions, the system has features indicating self-organized criticality.
