description: We present a model of the growth of water ice on silicate grains in the circumstellar envelopes of Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars and Red Super Giants. We consider the growth of ice by gas grain collisions, the thermal evaporation of ice from a grain, and sputtering. Our model contains several improvements compared to earlier models, including a detailed treatment of the effects of sputtering, a detailed calculation of the radiation pressure on the grain, and the treatment of subsonic drift velocities. In terms of drift velocity between the grains and gas in the envelope, we find that the ice formation process can be divided into three regimes: (i) a sputtering dominated regime where ice growth is heavily suppressed, (ii) an intermediate regime with moderately efficient condensation and (iii) a thermally dominated regime where ice formation is highly efficient. Sputtering is the critical factor which determines if ice formation can occur at all. We find that in Red Supergiants, ice formation is suppressed, while the winds of OH/IR stars allow for efficient condensation and can convert significant fractions of the available water vapor (tens of percent) into ice mantles on grains. Population II AGB stars hardly form ice due to their low dust to gas ratios. We also modify an analytical equation describing condensation and depletion (Jura and Morris, 1985) in order to give reasonable results for high and low drift velocities. Initially, ice will condense in crystalline form, but continuing condensation at low temperatures, and damage caused by interstellar UV photons favor the production of amorphous ice as well. We predict that a significant fraction of the ice formed will be amorphous.

description: Eleven distinct farming systems were distinguished, based on selected indicators and locations. The indicators involve the resource basis, cropping pattern and intensity, and the major activities including off-farm work. Statistical tests were used to verify the differences. Accounting for the given constraints and for the interdependencies of the system's com·ponents, strategies are developed to improve their poor economic performance. A linear programming model is used to evaluate the effects on farm performance of (a) reallocating the existing farm resources, and (b) introduction of improved technologies. The type of relationship among the elements of the farming system determines the overall outcome of any improvement effort. Groundnut and livestock production are highly competitive. A package of technological innovations is needed to achieve a major improvement on the smallest farms.

description: Agriculture is a provider of food, feed, fibre and, to a certain extent, public goods. In order to secure the provision of agri-environmental public goods, some form of public intervention may be needed. Indeed, various agri-environmental policies are implemented in many countries. However, it is not clear which policy measures target which agri-environmental public goods, and identifying the appropriate policy mix for providing specific agri-environmental public goods is still open to debate. The study examines how policy measures target agri-environmental public goods in Australia, Japan, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the United States, and how they mix policies. Targeted agri-environmental public goods vary depending on the country. Regulations, agri-environmental payments and technical assistance in these countries target multiple agri-environmental public goods; while environmental taxes and tradable rights are used only for a limited number of agri-environmental public goods (e.g. water quantity). A complex set of policy measures in these countries also address the additionality of a policy measure, i.e. the extent to which the policy is a necessary condition for achieving the environmental target. Good policy mixes are key to providing agri-environmental public goods. This study can contribute to appropriate policy design for the delivery of agri-environmental public goods.

description: The paper analyses ex ante the economic implications of transgenic virus- and weevil-resistant sweet potatoes in Kenya. These technologies are being developed within international projects, involving public and private organisations. It is expected that the resistant varieties will significantly reduce the crop losses in farmers' fields. Model calculations show that both innovations are likely to bting about substantial growth in economic surplus. The projected annual gross benefit is 5.4 mUS$ (million US$) for virus resistance and 9.9 mUS$ for weevil resistance. Due to the semi-subsistence nature of sweet potato, the producing households will be the main beneficiaries. However, market consumers will also capture about one-fourth of the aggregate welfare gains. The high profitability of the projects is confirmed by significantly positive returns on research investments. The examples demonstrate the viability of successful research partnerships between the public and private sectors. As most of the basic biotechnology tools available to date are patented by private companies in the North, which often do not have sufficient market incentives to develop end-technologies for the South, more interactions of this kind are required from a development policy perspective. Working with typical semi-subsistence crops is particularly appealing because it immediately targets the poor and avoids conflicts with the private sector's commercial interests.© 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.

description: The phase transition in the antiferromagnetic isotropic Heisenberg S=1 chain with frustrating next-nearest neighbor coupling alpha is reconsidered. We identify the order parameter of the large-alpha phase as describing two intertwined strings, each possessing a usual string order. The transition has a topological nature determined by the change in the string connectivity. Numerical evidence from the DMRG results is supported by the effective theory based on soliton states.

Is livestock research unproductive? Separating health maintenance from improvement research

subject: Returns to R&D

description: Studies of the rates of return to research have usually been based on the implicit assumption that if there were no research, then there would be neither growth nor decline in output or productivity. In the case of livestock, particularly in southern Africa, which has a sub-tropical disease ecology and a long history of disastrous losses due to disease, the assumption is especially unreasonable. It ignores the losses that would have occurred in the absence of livestock health research, resulting in underestimation of rates of return. This study draws on data from South Africa to illustrate the magnitude of the error, by separating the maintenance effects of animal health research from output increases due to animal improvement research. This is possible because health and improvements research are conducted at separate research institutes and there are data on cattle deaths due to disease, which allows the effects of health expenditures to be calculated. Explicitly, taking the negative effect of diseases into account considerably increases the returns to the livestock research of the South African Agricultural Research Council (SAARC). Instead of a ROR of 18% for animal research in total, the result is a ROR of at least 35% for animal health research and 27% for improvements research, suggesting a minimum underestimation of about 50%. These results suggest that livestock research is productive, once it is properly decomposed. The implication is that all ROR estimates that implicitly assume that with no research, there would be no change in output, or productivity, must be severely biased downwards.© 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.

description: We study the classical hard-core dimer model on the triangular lattice. Following Kasteleyn's fundamental theorem on planar graphs, this problem is soluble by Pfaffians. This model is particularly interesting for, unlike the dimer problems on the bipartite square and hexagonal lattices, its correlations are short ranged with a correlation length of less than one lattice constant. We compute the dimer-dimer and monomer-monomer correlators, and find that the model is deconfining: the monomer-monomer correlator falls off exponentially to a constant value sin(pi/12)/sqrt(3) = .1494..., only slightly below the nearest-neighbor value of 1/6. We also consider the anisotropic triangular lattice model in which the square lattice is perturbed by diagonal bonds of one orientation and small fugacity. We show that the model becomes non-critical immediately and that this perturbation is equivalent to adding a mass term to each of two Majorana fermions that are present in the long wavelength limit of the square-lattice problem.

description: Theoretical population number studies of binaries with at least one black hole (BH) component are obviously depending on whether or not BHs receive a (natal) kick during their formation. Several observational facts seem to indicate that indeed BHs receive a kick during their formation. In the present paper we discuss additional evidence. The progenitors of wind fed high mass X-ray binaries (HMXB) with a BH component (BH HMXB) are WR+OB binaries where the Wolf-Rayet (WR) star will finally collapse and form the BH. Starting from the observed population of WR+OB binaries in the Solar Neighborhood we predict the population of wind fed BH HMXBs as a function of the BH-natal kick. The simulations reveal that when WR stars collapse into a BH with zero or low kick, we would expect 100 or more wind fed BH HMXBs in the Solar Neighborhood whereas only one is observed (Cyg X-1). We consider this as evidence that either WR components in binaries end their life as a neutron star or that they collapse into BHs both accompanied by a supernova explosion imparting significant (natal) kicks.

description: Low energy excitations in carbon nanotubes can be described by an effective field theory of two components spinor. It is pointed out that the chiral anomaly in 1+1 dimensions should be observed in a metallic toroidal carbon nanotube on a planar geometry with varying magnetic field. We propose an experimental setup for studying this quantum effect. We also analyze the vacuum structure of the metallic toroidal carbon nanotube including the Coulomb interactions and discuss some effects of external charges on the vacuum.

description: The objective of this paper is to present econometric evidence of the effects of economic incentives and institutions on national aggregate private agricultural R&D investments. An econometric model of national aggregate annual private R&D investment is specified and fitted to panel data consisting of seven EU countries (Austria, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and Sweden) over 1984-1995. We find strong impacts of both incentives and institutions on private agricultural R&D investment. Including institutional factors strengthens the story and in some cases greatly changes the results. © 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

description: Contrary to a widespread belief, total factor productivity (TFP) growth, as measured by the conventional growth accounting approach, contributed little to economic growth during the Green Revolution in the Indian Punjab. This paper shows that this 'productivity paradox' arises because of a fundamental problem with conventional measures of TFP growth. When technical change is not Hicks-neutral, it is impossible to separate the contribution of technical change from that of factor accumulation. Simple exercises to assess the magnitudes involved in the Punjab case show that the bias in conventional TFP estimates is severe: 'corrected' measures of productivity growth are between 100 and 200% higher per year during the Green Revolution. © 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.

description: Advances in the productivity with which food is produced around the world have been made possible through the intensive use of industrial inputs that have important environmental impacts. Like standard measures of macroeconomic performance, however, commonly used measures of agricultural efficiency and productivity account only for marketed commodities and inputs, but ignore the environmental effects of these production processes. A more complete analysis of trends in the sector's productivity requires the use of models that incorporate these environmental effects to provide better measures of the contributions of the sector from the social point of view. This paper compares the conceptual merits and empirical performance of alternative approaches that can be employed for this purpose: input distance functions, output distance functions, nonparametric methods, and index number approaches. Each of the methods has relative strengths and weaknesses. The methods are empirically illustrated using data from the Canadian pulp and paper industry.© 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.

description: We show how a spin interaction between electrons localized in neighboring quantum dots can be induced and controlled optically. The coupling is generated via virtual excitation of delocalized excitons and provides an efficient coherent control of the spins. This quantum manipulation can be realized in the adiabatic limit and is robust against decoherence by spontaneous emission. Applications to the realization of quantum gates, scalable quantum computers, and to the control of magnetization in an array of charged dots are proposed.

Covariant version of Pauli Hamiltonian, spin-induced non commutativity, Thomas precession and precession of spin

description: We show that there is a manifestly covariant version of the Pauli Hamiltonian with equations of motion quadratic on spin and field strength. Relativistic covariance inevitably leads to noncommutative positions: classical brackets of the position variables are proportional to the spin. It is the spin-induced noncommutativity that is responsible for transforming the covariant Hamiltonian into the Pauli Hamiltonian, without any appeal to the Thomas precession formula. The Pauli theory can be thought to be $1/c^2$ approximation of the covariant theory written in special variables. These observations clarify the long standing question on the discrepancy between the covariant and Pauli Hamiltonians. We also discuss the transformational properties of spin axis in the passage from laboratory to comoving and instantaneous frames, and reveal the role of Thomas spin-vector in the covariant scheme.

description: Review of the book "Oceanic Histories", David Armitage, Alison Bashford Sujit Sivasundaram (eds.) About 70% of the earth’s surface is covered by water and only the remaining 30% of it is dry land. In spite of this, even in recent times, attempts to describe human events in a global and deep historical perspective have had the hard and walkable surface of the world as a privileged object, or at least as a favoured framework. Oceanic Histories represents the first attempt ever made in contemporary historiography to counterbalance this intellectual bias with a comprehensive global history focused on the earth’s waters.

description: Previous studies on the environmental impacts of pesticide use have tended to focus either on measuring damages through changes in relative risks to various environmental categories or examining the trade-off between pesticide use levels and abatement costs. This study uses the physical risk assessment approach combined with contingent valuation survey results on consumers' willingness to reduce pesticide risk. The reduction in external costs associated with the changes in pesticide use in Ontario agriculture between 1983 and 1998 is US$ 188 per household. The environmental benefits are largely due to the reduction in the level of high and moderate-risk pesticides. © 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

description: This paper is concerned with the upper bound of the lifespan of solutions to nonlinear Schrödinger equations with general homogeneous nonlinearity of the critical order. In [8], Masaki and the first author obtain the upper bound of the lifespan of solutions to our equation via a test function method introduced by [16, 17]. Their nonlinearity contains a non-oscillating term $|u|^{1+2/d}$ which causes difficultly for constructing an even small data global solution. The non-oscillating term corresponds to the $L^1$-scaling critical. In this paper, it turns out that the upper bound can be refined by employing an unified test function by Ikeda and the second author [5].

description: Considerable information has been obtained about neutrino mixing matrix. Present data show that in the particle data group (PDG) parameterization, the 2-3 mixing angle and the CP violating phase are consistent with $θ_{23} = π/4$ and $δ_{PDG} = -π/2$, respectively. A lot of efforts have been devoted to constructing models in realizing a mixing matrix with these values. However, the particular angles and phase are parameterization convention dependent. The meaning about the specific values for mixing angle and phase needs to be clarified. Using the well known 9 independent ways of parameterizing the mixing matrix, we show in detail how the mixing angles and phase change with conventions even with the 2-3 mixing angle to be $π/4$ and the CP violating phase to be $-π/2$. The original Kaobayashi-Maskawa and an additional one belong to such a category. The other 6 parameterizations have mixing angles and phase very different values from those in the PDG parameterization although the physical effects are the same. Therefore one should give the specific parameterization convention when making statements about values for mixing angles and phase.

description: Quantum entangled photons provide a sensitive probe of many-body interactions and offer an unique experimental portal for quantifying many-body correlations in a material system. In this paper, we present a theoretical demonstration of how photon-photon entanglement can be generated via interactions between coupled qubits. Here we develop a model for the scattering of an entangled pair of photons from a molecular dimer. We develop a diagrammatic theory for the scattering matrix and show that one can correlate the von Neumann entropy of the outgoing bi-photon wave function to exciton exchange and repulsion interactions. We conclude by discussing possible experimental scenarios for realizing these ideas.
Maura R. O'Connor "Wayfinding: The Science and Mystery of How Humans Navigate the World" (RUTTER Book Review nº5)

description: Review of Maura R. O’Connor's book "Wayfinding: The Science and Mystery of How Humans Navigate the World". At first sight, it is a book about three living wayfinding traditions: the Inuit, the Australian Aboriginal, and the Polynesian. Not little of the charm of the book is owed to the opportunity to have a glimpse into these old ways, and to meet personally some of their representatives, like Solomon Awa and Bill Harney. It is enlightening, from our urban “overmapped” existence, to learn about them and their likes, who are so intimately attuned to their environment that the mere possibility of getting lost is inconceivable. You can tell this is a good travel book because it makes you long for distant places and cultures.

Element Abundances of Solar Energetic Particles and the Photosphere, the Corona, and the Solar Wind

description: From a turbulent history, the study of abundances of elements in solar energetic particles (SEPs) has grown into an extensive field that probes the solar corona and the physical processes of SEP acceleration and transport. Underlying SEPs are the abundances of the solar corona, which differ from photospheric abundances as a function of the first ionization potentials (FIPs) of the elements. The FIP-dependence of SEPs also differs from that of the solar wind; each has a different magnetic environment where low-FIP ions and high-FIP neutral atoms rise toward the corona. Two major sources generate SEPs: The small "impulsive" SEP events are associated with magnetic reconnection in solar jets that produce 1000-fold enhancements from H to Pb as a function of mass-to-charge ratio A/Q, and also 1000-fold enhancements in 3He/4He produced by resonant wave-particle interactions. In large "gradual" events, SEPs are accelerated at shock waves driven out from the Sun by wide, fast coronal mass ejections (CMEs). A/Q dependence of ion transport allows us to estimate Q and hence the source plasma temperature T. Weaker shock waves favor reacceleration of suprathermal ions accumulated from earlier impulsive SEP events, along with protons from the ambient plasma. In strong shocks the ambient plasma dominates. Ions from impulsive sources have T ~ 3 MK; those from ambient coronal plasma have T = 1 - 2 MK. These FIP- and A/Q-dependences explore complex new interactions in the corona and in SEP sources.

An analytic model of the Gruneisen parameter at all densities
Creators: name: Burakovsky, L.
name: Preston, D. L.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Condensed Matter (cond-mat)

description: We model the density dependence of the Gruneisen parameter as gamma(rho) = 1/2 + gamma_1/rho^{1/3} + gamma_2/rho^{q}, where gamma_1, gamma_2, and q>1 are constants. This form is based on the assumption that gamma is an analytic function of V^{1/3}, and was designed to accurately represent the experimentally determined low-pressure behavior of gamma. The numerical values of the constants are obtained for 20 elemental solids. Using the Lindemann criterion with our model for gamma, we calculate the melting curves for Al, Ar, Ni, Pd, and Pt and compare them to available experimental melt data. We also determine the Z (atomic number) dependence of gamma_1. The high-compression limit of the model is shown to follow from a generalization of the Slater, Dugdale-MacDonald, and Vashchenko-Zubarev forms for the dependence of the Gruneisen parameter.

description: The size of the rural non-farm economy depends primarily on agricultural demand. As farm income grows, it generates spillover growth in the rural nonfarm economy, since rising farm income increases rural purchases of nonfarm goods and services. The well-known debates on agricultural growth linkages revolve around how powerful these demand linkages are (Mellor, 1975; Johnston and Kilby, 1975; Bell and Hazell, 1980). Yet agriculture affects the supply of non-farm goods and services as well. Operating primarily through the labour market, these supply-side linkages have been largely overlooked in the growth linkage discussions. This is unfortunate, because a focus on the labour market alters conclusions about the magnitude of farmnon- farm linkages. It also highlights how agriculture affects not only the size but also the composition of the rural non-farm economy. This paper explores the relationship between agricultural growth, the rural labour market, and the size and composition of rural non-farm activity. It begins by reviewing what is known about the rural non-farm economy in developing countries, followed by a review of empirical evidence on the relationship between agriculture, labour markets and the transformation of the rural non-farm economy. The paper then introduces a simple price-endogenous model that projects the non-farm employment, wage and income effects of alternative forms of agricultural growth. The model highlights the labour market interactions that contribute importantly to a shifting composition of rural non-farm activity.
Benanza: Automatic $μ$Benchmark Generation to Compute "Lower-bound" Latency and Inform Optimizations of Deep Learning Models on GPUs

description: As Deep Learning (DL) models have been increasingly used in latency-sensitive applications, there has been a growing interest in improving their response time. An important venue for such improvement is to profile the execution of these models and characterize their performance to identify possible optimization opportunities. However, the current profiling tools lack the highly desired abilities to characterize ideal performance, identify sources of inefficiency, and quantify the benefits of potential optimizations. Such deficiencies have led to slow characterization/optimization cycles that cannot keep up with the fast pace at which new DL models are introduced. We propose Benanza, a sustainable and extensible benchmarking and analysis design that speeds up the characterization/optimization cycle of DL models on GPUs. Benanza consists of four major components: a model processor that parses models into an internal representation, a configurable benchmark generator that automatically generates micro-benchmarks given a set of models, a database of benchmark results, and an analyzer that computes the "lower-bound" latency of DL models using the benchmark data and informs optimizations of model execution. The "lower-bound" latency metric estimates the ideal model execution on a GPU system and serves as the basis for identifying optimization opportunities in frameworks or system libraries. We used Benanza to evaluate 30 ONNX models in MXNet, ONNX Runtime, and PyTorch on 7 GPUs ranging from Kepler to the latest Turing, and identified optimizations in parallel layer execution, cuDNN convolution algorithm selection, framework inefficiency, layer fusion, and using Tensor Cores.

description: The complex Ginzburg-Landau equation with additive noise is a stochastic partial differential equation that describes a remarkably wide range of physical systems which include coupled non-linear oscillators subject to external noise near a Hopf bifurcation instability and spontaneous structure formation in non-equilibrium systems, e.g., in cyclically competing populations or oscillatory chemical reactions. We employ a finite-difference method to numerically solve the noisy complex Ginzburg-Landau equation on a two-dimensional domain with the goal to investigate its non-equilibrium dynamics when the system is quenched into the "defocusing spiral quadrant". We observe slow coarsening dynamics as oppositely charged topological defects annihilate each other, and characterize the ensuing aging scaling behavior. We conclude that the physical aging features in this system are governed by non-universal aging scaling exponents. We also investigate systems with control parameters residing in the "focusing quadrant", and identify slow aging kinetics in that regime as well. We provide heuristic criteria for the existence of slow coarsening dynamics and physical aging behavior in the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation.
