description: This paper has two main purposes: ( 1 ) to develop a method for measuring the extent and bias of technical change which involves the use of non-parametric production frontiers and does not require information on prices or factor shares; (2) to apply this method to individual farm data drawn from a sample of Illinois grain farms for the years 1982 and 1984. The results indicate that technical innovation is land using in nature and that the rate of technical change is related to the size of farm.

description: Precision spectroscopy of atoms and molecules allows one to search for and to put stringent limits on the variation of fundamental constants. These experiments are typically interpreted in terms of variations of the fine structure constant $α$ and the electron to proton mass ratio $μ=m_e/m_p$. Atomic spectroscopy is usually less sensitive to other fundamental constants, unless the hyperfine structure of atomic levels is studied. However, the number of possible dimensionless constants increases when we allow for fast variations of the constants, where "fast" is determined by the time scale of the response of the studied species or experimental apparatus used. In this case, the relevant dimensionless quantity is, for example, the ratio $m_e/\langle m_e \rangle$ and $\langle m_e \rangle$ is the time average. In this sense, one may say that the experimental signal depends on the variation of dimensionful constants ($m_e$ in this example).

The Calculation of Returns to Research in Distorted Markets

description: Most of the empirical literature calculating rates of return to publicly sponsored research assumes that research is the only relevant government intervention. For most countries this assumption is untenable. This paper shows that improperly measuring government induced market distortions can severely bias research rate of return calculations. If the interaction between successful research and other government interventions increases the cost of the other interventions, then neglecting market distortions unambigously increases the calculated rate of return. Three examples of government induced distortions show that the magnitude of the upward bias in calculated rates of return can be extremely large - in some cases more than 100 percentage points. A normative implication is that governments should account for interactions between research and price interventions when determining research support levels. A positive implication is that existing government research funding patterns are more readily explainable as reasonable behavior by a government that accounts for these interactions.
Effective field theory approach to electroweak transitions of nuclei far from stability

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In a previous paper, the convergence of the effective field theory approach of Furnstahl, Serot and Tang to the nuclear many-body problem was studied by applying it to selected doubly-magic, and neighboring single-particle and single-hole, nuclei far from stability. The success of that approach, interpreted through density functional theory, would imply reliable densities. In this paper, the single-particle (Kohn-Sham) wave functions are probed using weak transitions near the Fermi surface. The weak currents are the Noether currents derived from the effective Lagrangian. The general single-particle transition matrix elements, from which any semi-leptonic weak rate can be calculated, are obtained in terms of upper and lower components of the Dirac wave functions. Here beta-decays in nuclei neighboring 132-Sn are studied and compared with available experimental data. Calibration of the theoretical results for such decays may also have useful application in element formation.

Heleioporus australiacus

description: Heleioporus australiacus (Shaw & Nodder, 1795)
 Diagnosis. Assigned to Heleioporus based on the generic definition of Lee (1967) and molecular phylogenetic evidence (Morgan et al. 2007). Eastern Australian Heleioporus are phylogenetically quite distant from their western Australian congeners with divergence estimated in the late Oligocene to early Miocene (Morgan et al. 2007). Eastern Australian Heleioporus are readily diagnosed morphologically from their western congeners by the presence of black spines capping the tubercles on the dorsum, sides, and throat, and the uniform chocolate dorsum with yellow or white spots restricted to the sides separating H. australiacus from all other species of Heleioporus except H. barycragus. The length of the metatarsal tubercle distinguishes H. australiacus (less than one half the length of the fourth toe) from H. barycragus (at least one-half the length of the fourth toe) (Lee 1967). The advertisement calls of H. barycragus consist of a single note compared with multi-pulses in eastern Heleioporus (FrogID application). Contra to Lee (1967), the number and distribution of the pre-orbital papillae in the anterior corner of the eye is quite variable in H. australiacus (Fig. 8) and includes exemplars that closely resemble the condition in H. barycragus illustrated in Figure 5 of Lee (1967).
 Heleioporus australiacus comprises two sub-species- H. a. australiacus new combination and H. a. flavopunctatus subsp. nov. which closely resemble each other in most morphological features but can be diagnosed from each other by two features in combination as follows. In H. a. australiacus the tubercles on the flanks have small central white- and yellow-coloured spots which rarely cover the entire tubercle or coalesce with adjacent spots; yellow or white spots occur on the raised tubercles surrounding the cloaca, but they do not coalesce to form a complete ring. In H. a. flavopunctatus tubercles on the flanks have cream and yellow-coloured spots that coalesce with adjacent spots; yellow or white spots on raised tubercles coalesce to from an almost complete ring surrounding the cloaca. Higher mean number of pulses of the note in the advertisement call of H. a. flavopunctatus. Apomorphic character states for at least 16 nucleotide sites in the mitochondrial ND4 gene diagnose the two taxa (Table 2).

description: We present high statistics Monte Carlo results for the Drossel-Schwabl forest fire model in 2 dimensions. They extend to much larger lattices (up to $65536\times 65536$) than previous simulations and reach much closer to the critical point (up to $θ\equiv p/f = 256000$). They are incompatible with all previous conjectures for the (extrapolated) critical behaviour, although they in general agree well with previous simulations wherever they can be directly compared. Instead, they suggest that scaling laws observed in previous simulations are spurious, and that the density $ρ$ of trees in the critical state was grossly underestimated. While previous simulations gave $ρ\approx 0.408$, we conjecture that $ρ$ actually is equal to the critical threshold $p_c = 0.592...$ for site percolation in $d=2$. This is however still far from the densities reachable with present day computers, and we estimate that we would need many orders of magnitude higher CPU times and storage capacities to reach the true critical behaviour -- which might or might not be that of ordinary percolation.

Calculate the Exchange Rate Pass-Through of RMB by Using Disaggregated Data

Publisher: name: figshare
Year: 2019
Subjects: Economics

description: In this paper, I analyze the impact of the RMB’s exchange rate fluctuations on export/import prices index, in other words, the RMB’s exchange rate pass-through rate. Existing empirical studies estimating the exchange rate pass-through based on the aggregated of RMB’s exchange rate data. However, these approaches have some major drawbacks. Because different major trading partners have different comparative advantage products to trade, using the aggregated effective exchange rate is not necessarily appropriate. For this reason, I calculate the “Nominal Effective Exchange Rate of RMB’s in Sector (based on the export/import weight)” to verify the relationship between the exchange rate and the export/import prices index. The results reveal that the exchange rate shock on the export/import prices index is different from using aggregated data and disaggregated data.

description: The heterogeneity of composite leads to the extra charge concentration at the boundaries of different phases that results essentially nonzero effective electric susceptability. The relation between tensors of effective electric susceptability $\hatχ_{ef}$ and effective conductivity $\hatσ_{ef}$ of the infinite two--dimensional two--component regular composite with rhombic cells structure has been established. The degrees of electric field singularity at corner points of cells are found by constructing the integral equation for the effective conductivity problem. The limits of weak and strong contrast of partial conductivities $σ_1,σ_2$ are considered. The results are valid for thin films and cylindrical samples.

description: Collective decision making processes lie at the heart of many social, political and economic challenges. The classical voter model is a well-established conceptual model to study such processes. In this work, we define a new form of adaptive (or co-evolutionary) voter model posed on a simplicial complex, i.e., on a certain class of hypernetworks/hypergraphs. We use the persuasion rule along edges of the classical voter model and the recently studied re-wiring rule of edges towards like-minded nodes, and introduce a new peer pressure rule applied to three nodes connected via a 2-simplex. This simplicial adaptive voter model is studied via numerical simulation. We show that adding the effect of peer pressure to an adaptive voter model leaves its fragmentation transition, i.e., the transition upon varying the re-wiring rate from a single majority state into to a fragmented state of two different opinion subgraphs, intact. Yet, above and below the fragmentation transition, we observe that the peer pressure has substantial quantitative effects. It accelerates the transition to a single-opinion state below the transition and also speeds up the system dynamics towards fragmentation above the transition. Furthermore, we quantify that there is a multiscale hierarchy in the model leading to the depletion of 2-simplices, before the depletion of active edges. This leads to the conjecture that many other dynamic network models on simplicial complexes may show a similar behaviour with respect to the sequential evolution of simplicies of different dimensions.

description: In this work, we introduce a platform for register-transfer level (RTL) architecture design space exploration. The platform is an open-source, parameterized, synthesizable set of RTL modules for designing RISC-V based single and multi-core architecture systems. The platform is designed with a high degree of modularity. It provides highly-parameterized, composable RTL modules for fast and accurate exploration of different RISC-V based core complexities, multi-level caching and memory organizations, system topologies, router architectures, and routing schemes. The platform can be used for both RTL simulation and FPGA based emulation. The hardware modules are implemented in synthesizable Verilog using no vendor-specific blocks. The platform includes a RISC-V compiler toolchain to assist in developing software for the cores, a web-based system configuration graphical user interface (GUI) and a web-based RISC-V assembly simulator. The platform supports a myriad of RISC-V architectures, ranging from a simple single cycle processor to a multi-core SoC with a complex memory hierarchy and a network-on-chip. The modules are designed to support incremental additions and modifications. The interfaces between components are particularly designed to allow parts of the processor such as whole cache modules, cores or individual pipeline stages, to be modified or replaced without impacting the rest of the system. The platform allows researchers to quickly instantiate complete working RISC-V multi-core systems with synthesizable RTL and make targeted modifications to fit their needs.

On energy densities reached in heavy-ion collisions at the CERN SPS

description: We present a few estimates of energy densities reached in heavy-ion collisions at the CERN SPS. The estimates are based on data and models of proton-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus interactions. In all of these estimates the maximum energy density in central Pb+Pb interactions is larger than the critical energy density of about 0.7 GeV/fm^3 following from lattice gauge theory computations. In estimates which we consider as realistic the maximum energy density is about twice the critical value. In this way our analysis gives some support to claims that deconfined matter has been produced at the CERN SPS. Any definite statement requires a deeper understanding of formation times of partons and hadrons in nuclear collisions. We also compare our results with implicit energy estimates contained in earlier models of anomalous J/psi suppression in nuclear collisions.

description: Recently, interesting 4-D Lorentz violating models have been proposed, in which all particles have a common maximum velocity $c$, but gravity propagates (in the preferred frame) with a different maximum velocity $c_g \neq c$. We show that the case $c_g < c$ is very tightly constrained by the observation of the highest energy cosmic rays. Assuming a galactic origin for the cosmic rays gives a conservative bound of $c-c_g < 2 \times 10^{-15} c$; if the cosmic rays have an extragalactic origin the bound is orders of magnitude tighter, of order $c-c_g < 2 \times 10^{-19} c$.

description: This paper empirically analyzes the relationship between Pakistan's industrial and agricultural sectors. Pakistan was chosen because of its status of a semi-industrialized country with heavy dependence on the agricultural sector. The relationship between cotton production and industrial growth is also evaluated due to the prominence of this crop in Pakistani agriculture. The results indicate that these sectors are complementary, yet industry tends to benefit more from agricultural growth than vice versa. The timing of this information is critical, as Pakistan's policy makers now face major agricultural policy reforms in their quest for continued industrial development. ©2000 Elsevier Science B.V.

description: U.S. farm exports seem to be rebounding from their depressed levels of recent years. That should help farmers who grow export crops, but it will not necessarily translate into significant rural economic growth. Even in the prosperous 1970's, farm-export areas lagged behind other rural areas in growth in population, income, and employment.

description: This paper represents a dynamic specification of the Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS) based on recent developments on cointegration techniques and error correction models. Based on Greek meat consumption data over the period 1958-1993, it was found that the proposed formulation performs well on both theoretical and statistical grounds, as the theoretical properties of homogeneity and symmetry are supported by the data and the LeChatelier principle holds. Regardless of the time horizon, beef and chicken may be considered as luxuries while mutton-lamb and pork as necessities. In the short-run, beef was found to have price elastic demand, pork an almost unitary elasticity, whereas mutton-lamb, chicken and sausages had inelastic demands; in the long-run, beef, and pork were found to have a demand elasticity greater than one, whereas mutton-lamb, chicken, and sausages still had inelastic demands. All meat items are found to be substitutes to each other except chicken and mutton-lamb, and pork and chicken. ©2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

description: The hypercentral constituent quark model contains a spin independent three-quark interaction inspired by lattice QCD calculations which reproduces the average energy of SU(6) multiplets. The splittings are obtained with a residual generalized SU(6)-breaking interaction including an isospin dependent term. The long standing problem of the Roper is absent and all the 3- and 4-star states are well reproduced. The model has been used in a systematic way for transverse and longitudinal electromagnetic transition form factor of the 3- and 4- star and also for the missing resonances. The prediction of the electromagnetic helicity amplitudes agrees quite well with the data except for low $Q^2$, showing that it can supply a realistic set of quark wave functions. In particular we report the calculated helicity amplitude $A_{1/2}$ for the $S11(1535)$, which is in agreement with the TJNAF data.

description: Deep learning model trained by imbalanced data may not work satisfactorily since it could be determined by major classes and thus may ignore the classes with small amount of data. In this paper, we apply deep learning based imbalanced data classification for the first time to cellular macromolecular complexes captured by Cryo-electron tomography (Cryo-ET). We adopt a range of strategies to cope with imbalanced data, including data sampling, bagging, boosting, Genetic Programming based method and. Particularly, inspired from Inception 3D network, we propose a multi-path CNN model combining focal loss and mixup on the Cryo-ET dataset to expand the dataset, where each path had its best performance corresponding to each type of data and let the network learn the combinations of the paths to improve the classification performance. In addition, extensive experiments have been conducted to show our proposed method is flexible enough to cope with different number of classes by adjusting the number of paths in our multi-path model. To our knowledge, this work is the first application of deep learning methods of dealing with imbalanced data to the internal tissue classification of cell macromolecular complexes, which opened up a new path for cell classification in the field of computational biology.

Quantum trajectory theory of few photon cavity-QED systems with a time-delayed coherent feedback

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: We describe an efficient approach to modelling cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED) with a time-delayed coherent feedback using quantum trajectory simulations. An analytical set of equations is derived to exploit the advantages of trajectories in the presence of the non-Markovian dynamics, where adjustments to the standard stochastic dynamics are discussed. In the weak excitation regime, we first verify that our approach recovers known results obtained with other simulation methods and demonstrate how a coherent feedback loop can increase the photon lifetime in typical cavity-QED systems. We then explore the nonlinear few-photon regime of cavity-QED, under the restriction of at most one photon at a time in the feedback loop. In particular, we show how feedback affects the cavity photoluminescence (populations versus laser detuning), and describe how one must account for conditioning in the presence of feedback, specifically the system observables must be conditioned on no photon detections at the feedback output channel occurring.

description: The notions of time in the theories of Newton and Einstein are reviewed so that the difficulty which impedes the unification of quantum mechanics (QM) and general relativity (GR) is clarified. It is seen that GR by itself contains an intrinsic difficulty relating to the definition of local clocks, as well as that GR still requires a kind of absolute that can serve as an objective reference standard. We present a new understanding of time, which gives a consistent definition of a local time associated with each local system in a quantum mechanical way, so that it serves the requirements of both GR as well as QM. As a consequence, QM and GR are reconciled while preserving the current mathematical formulations of both theories.

description: The interplay between non-minimally coupled scalar fields and a kinetic-dominated era following the end of inflation triggers the spontaneous symmetry breaking of internal symmetries and the subsequent evolution of the fields towards large expectation values. We present here a detailed analysis of the associated dynamics in quintessential inflation scenarios involving a non-minimally coupled $Z_2$-symmetric spectator field. By analytically following the evolution of the spectator field fluctuations at early times, we characterize the formation of classical, homogeneous and spatially-localized field configurations separated by domain walls. The life expectancy of these dividing barriers is set by the scale of inflation, the non-minimal coupling and self-interactions of the spectator field and potentially, but not necessarily, the duration of the heating stage. For most of the parameter space, the domain walls are doomed to disappear before big bang nucleosynthesis. Potential phenomenological consequences of the scenario are discussed.

description: The possibility of parity violation through spacetime torsion has been explored in a scenario containing fields with different spins. Taking the Kalb-Ramond field as the source of torsion, an explicitly parity violating $U(1)_{EM}$ gauge invariant theory has been constructed by extending the KR field with a Chern-Simons term.

description: In this paper we use the TOA-MD model to test climate change impacts and adaptation strategies with socioeconomic, survey data from the upper White Volta Basin of Ghana. Combining simu-lated and expected crop and livestock yields under three different climate scenarios, the econom-ic impact of climate change to 2050 is analysed. We find that livelihood outcome variables like income and poverty levels as well as adoption rates are sensitive to the different climate scenari-os. Most particularly, introducing an intensive and extended (I&E) irrigation technology as a climate change adaptation strategy offsets some negative climate change impacts and improves income but not poverty rates in the area. The results are useful in providing spatiotemporarily-specific policy recommendations on the potential impacts of climate change and the economic outcomes associated with different adaptation strategies.

description: Price transmission studies have become increasingly important in sub-Sahara Africa (SSA) over the last two decades because of their application in assessing the impact of market reforms policies embarked upon by the region’s governments between the mid 1980s and early 1990s. In this study, a meta-database obtained from 43 price transmission studies published between 1978 and 2011, is used to provide an overall assessment of the potential impact of selected, study-specific attributes on estimated price transmission coefficients and in identifying episodes of asymmetric price transmission in SSA agricultural markets. Despite the large dispersion of estimated price transmission coefficients of about 0.002- 0.99, the mean coefficient of 0.34 is an overall evidence that the extent of price transmission in SSA is comparatively low. The impacts of the study-specific attributes on the price transmission coefficients, and on the likelihood of the primary studies to report asymmetric price transmission however differ consistently across the attributes, and provide in general evidence on the critical role such attributes may play in determining price transmission results and their implications for policy formulation.

description: The magnetic-field dependence of optical reflectivity [$R(ω)$] and optical conductivity [$σ(ω)$] spectra of the ideal type-I Weyl semimetal TaAs has been investigated at the temperature of 10 K in the terahertz (THz) and infrared (IR) regions. The obtained $σ(ω)$ spectrum in the THz region of $\hbarω\leq15$ meV is strongly affected by the applied magnetic field ($B$): The Drude spectral weight is rapidly suppressed and an energy gap originating from the optical transition in the lowest Landau levels appears with a gap size that increases in proportion to $\sqrt{B}$, which suggests linear band dispersions. The obtained THz $σ(ω)$ spectra could be scaled not only in the energy scale by $\sqrt{B}$ but also in the intensity by $1/\sqrt{B}$ as predicted theoretically. In the IR region for $\hbarω\geq17$ meV, on the other hand, the observed $R(ω)$ peaks originating from the optical transitions in higher Landau levels are proportional to linear-$B$ suggesting parabolic bands. The different band dispersions originate from the crossover from the Dirac to the free-electron bands.

description: Micromagnetic simulations have been performed to investigate the suppression of the skyrmion Hall effect in nanotracks with their magnetic properties strategically modified. In particular, we study two categories of magnetically modified nanotracks. One of them, repulsive edges have been inserted in the nanotrack and, in the other, an attractive strip has been placed exactly on the longest axis of the nanotrack. Attractive and repulsive interactions can be generated from the engineering of magnetic properties. For instance, it is known that the skyrmion can be attracted to a region where the exchange stiffness constant is decreased. On the other hand, the skyrmion can be repelled from a region characterized by a local increase in the exchange stiffness constant. In order to provide a background for experimental studies, we vary not only the magnetic material parameters (exchange stiffness, perpendicular magnetocrystalline anisotropy and the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya constant) but also the width of the region magnetically modified, containing either a local reduction or a local increase for each one of these magnetic properties. In the numerical simulations, the skyrmion motion was induced by a spin-polarized current and the found results indicate that it is possible to transport skyrmions around the longest axis of the nanotrack. In practice, the skyrmion Hall effect can be completely suppressed in magnetic nanotracks with strategically modified magnetic properties. Furthermore, we discuss in detail 6 ways to suppress the skyrmion Hall effect by the usage of nanotracks with repulsive edges and nanotracks with an attractive strip.

description: Maize is an important staple crop in Africa but is severely affected by frequent droughts leading to crop failure. Drought tolerant maize (DTM) has been recognised as one of the most important innovations necessary for maize farmers to be able to adapt to climate change and is, therefore, promoted in the region. This paper examines the determinants of adoption of DTM innovation by smallholder farmers in rural Nigeria. The paper is mainly based on a survey of 200 farm households selected from two agro-ecological zones in north-east Nigeria. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and logistic regression. The results show that adverse climatic conditions are very important in the adoption of DTM as the farmers indicated early maturity, drought tolerance and high yield as the main benefits of the DTM innovation. Climate change awareness and farmers’ perceptions about DTM are the major factors that influence the adoption of the innovation. The main constraints to adoption include lack of awareness, fertilizer accessibility problems and lack of access to seed. The paper concludes that DTM innovation is important for maize farmers to continue to produce under a changing climate, but more support is needed if the innovation is to be adopted by many farmers.
