description: This paper develops an econometric-based structural model of farmland allocation that is based on an explicit formulation of farm profit and production functions, and hence can be linked to a market-level demand model. The model accounts for the presence of corner solutions in land share decisions; this enables using disaggregated data for the estimation, and thereby allows treating prices as exogenous. The integrated model enables assessing the impact of climate change on agriculture under partial equilibrium in the markets of vegetative products, while incorporating the production responses of the micro units used for estimating the land-use model. We apply the method to Israeli data, and obtain simulated adverse effects of climate change on farm profits. These effects are considerably lower compared to the case in which the price-feedback effects on agricultural supply are overlooked.

Investigating relationships between screen time and young children's social emotional development
Creators: name: Hendry, Robin S.
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: In this project, I investigate the extant literature examining relationships between young children’s (birth to 6 years old) screen time use and their social emotional development. The social and emotional learning experiences that children have help them to build the foundation for developing various social and emotional skills. Children’s play is considered a significant component in supporting and promoting their social emotional development and, with the infiltration of screen-based technology in our society, children are deprived from opportunities for play. In exploring this topic I examined the benefits of play, the effects of play deprivation, and the possible drawbacks as well as the possible benefits of children’s screen time use on their social and emotional development. To connect the literature reviewed to practice in early childhood education, I have prepared a presentation for parents to support them in promoting their children’s social and emotional development while recognizing the role that screen-based devices has in their lives. Through my exploration of the literature on this topic I learned that while there may be some social emotional benefits from screen time, screen time is not a replacement for the extraordinary benefits that children gain from social play. Recommendations for future study include learning more about the long-term effects of children’s screen time use on their social and emotional development. Recommendations for future practice include the need for parents and educators to be active participants in their children’s screen time use, in addition to being role models in their own screen time habits.
Combined analysis of Planck and SPTPol data favors the early dark energy models

description: We study the implications of the Planck temperature power spectrum at low multipoles, $\ell<1000$, and SPTPol data. We show that this combination predicts consistent lensing-induced smoothing of acoustic peaks within $Λ$CDM cosmology and yields the robust predictions of the cosmological parameters. Combining only the Planck large-scale temperature data and the SPTPol polarization and lensing measurements within $Λ$CDM model we found substantially lower values of linear matter density perturbation $σ_8$ which bring the late-time parameter $S_8=σ_8\sqrt{Ω_m/0.3}=0.763\pm0.022$ into accordance with galaxy clustering and weak lensing measurements. It also raises up the Hubble constant $H_0=69.68\pm1.00{\rm \,\,km\,s^{-1}Mpc^{-1}}$ that reduces the Hubble tension to the $2.5σ$ level. We examine the residual tension in the Early Dark Energy (EDE) model which produces the brief energy injection prior to recombination. We implement both the background and perturbation evolutions of the scalar field which potential scales as $V(ϕ)\propto ϕ^{2n}$. Including cosmic shear measurements (KiDS, VIKING-450, DES) and local distance-ladder data (SH0ES) to the combined fit we found that EDE completely alleviates the Hubble tension while not degradating the fit to large-scale structure data. The EDE scenario significantly improves the goodness-of-fit by $2.9σ$ in comparison with the concordance $Λ$CDM model. The account for the intermediate-redshift data (the supernova dataset and baryon acoustic oscillation data) fits perfectly to our parameter predictions and indicates the preference of EDE over $Λ$CDM at $3σ$.

The Growth and Decay of Ideological Cooperation in Agriculture

description: The kibbutzim and the moshavim, Israel's agricultural communes and cooperatives, were originally set‐up in the first quarter of the last century by youngsters imbued with ideology of nation rebuilding and socialism. Two key events—the establishment of the State in 1948 and a severe financial crisis in mid 1980s—marked dramatic turns in their history. But viewed in hindsight, it seems that more profound was the undergoing life cycle: cooperation, based on ideology, was instrumental to the development of the State of Israel and its agriculture but with time, modified economic environment, withdrawal of public support, and replacement of the founding generations by their successors—ideological cooperation gave way to conventional economic forces and considerations. The paper surveys this development through economic lenses focusing in particular on the conditions that affected the willingness of the members to take part in the cooperative endeavor and on the consequences of the close financial ties between public agencies and cooperative agriculture.

description: The annihilation of new dark matter candidates with masses $m_X$ in the MeV range may account for the galactic positrons that are required to explain the 511 keV $γ$-ray flux from the galactic bulge. We study the impact of MeV-mass thermal relic particles on the primordial synthesis of $^2$H, $^4$He, and $^7$Li. If the new particles are in thermal equilibrium with neutrinos during the nucleosynthesis epoch they increase the helium mass fraction for $m_X\alt 10$ MeV and are thus disfavored. If they couple primarily to the electromagnetic plasma they can have the opposite effect of lowering both helium and deuterium. For $m_X=4$--10 MeV they can even improve the overall agreement between the predicted and observed $^2$H and $^4$He abundances.

description: The supply of renewable natural water available on a sustainable fashion in the Jordan River Basin, comprising Israel, Jordan and the Palestinian Authority, will soon drop below 100 cubicmeters (m3 ) per person per year. Drawing on recent technological progress and policy innovations, I offer a comprehensive policy to address the region’s water problems in the long run. The policy has a dual goal: to satisfy the direct needs of a growing population (domestic, irrigation and industrial); and to restore and preserve important environmental amenities, including restoration of the Lower Jordan River and stabilization of the Dead Sea. The analysis is relevant in a wide range of real world situations, where the dual goal of satisfying basic needs of a growing population and preserving environmental amenities becomes a critical issue.

Introduction to Quantum Monte Carlo simulations for fermionic systems

description: We tutorially review the determinantal Quantum Monte Carlo method for fermionic systems, using the Hubbard model as a case study. Starting with the basic ingredients of Monte Carlo simulations for classical systems, we introduce aspects such as importance sampling, sources of errors, and finite-size scaling analyses. We then set up the preliminary steps to prepare for the simulations, showing that they are actually carried out by sampling discrete Hubbard-Stratonovich auxiliary fields. In this process the Green's function emerges as a fundamental tool, since it is used in the updating process, and, at the same time, it is directly related to the quantities probing magnetic, charge, metallic, and superconducting behaviours. We also discuss the as yet unresolved "minus-sign problem", and two ways to stabilize the algorithm at low temperatures.

description: This paper describes our recursive system for SemEval-2019 \textit{ Task 1: Cross-lingual Semantic Parsing with UCCA}. Each recursive step consists of two parts. We first perform semantic parsing using a sequence tagger to estimate the probabilities of the UCCA categories in the sentence. Then, we apply a decoding policy which interprets these probabilities and builds the graph nodes. Parsing is done recursively, we perform a first inference on the sentence to extract the main scenes and links and then we recursively apply our model on the sentence using a masking feature that reflects the decisions made in previous steps. Process continues until the terminal nodes are reached. We choose a standard neural tagger and we focused on our recursive parsing strategy and on the cross lingual transfer problem to develop a robust model for the French language, using only few training samples.
Parametric oscillations in a dissipative bosonic Josephson junction

description: We study the dynamics of a nonlinear dissipative bosonic Josephson junction (BJJ) with a time-dependent sinusoidal perturbation in interaction term. We demonstrate parametric resonance where the system undergoes sustained periodic oscillations even in the presence of dissipation. This happens when the frequency of the perturbation is close to twice the frequency of the unperturbed Josephson oscillations and the strength of perturbation exceeds a critical threshold. We have formulated the threshold conditions for parametric oscillations. To explore the nature of the oscillations, we carry out a multiple time scale analysis of the stability boundaries in terms of the V-shaped Arnold's tongue in the parameter space. Full numerical simulations have been performed for the zero-, running- and $π$-phase modes of nonlinear Josephson effect. Our results demonstrate that in $π$-phase mode, the system is capable of making a transition from regular parametric to chaotic parametric oscillations as one crosses the stability boundary. Also, the phase difference undergoes phase slip before executing sustained parametric oscillations.

description: We develop a method for extracting the physical parameters of interest for a dipole trapped cold atomic ensemble. This technique uses the spatially dependent ac-Stark shift of the trap itself to project the atomic distribution onto a light-shift broadened transmission spectrum. We develop a model that connects the atomic distribution with the expected transmission spectrum. We then demonstrate the utility of the technique by deriving the temperature, trap depth, lifetime, and trapped atom number from data that was taken in a single shot experimental measurement.

Kinetic energy flux versus Poynting flux in MHD winds and jets: the intermediate regime
Creators: name: Heyvaerts, J.
name: Norman, C.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We show that the formal asymptotic limit for all rotating polytropic axisymmetric perfect MHD flows is a kinetic energy dominated wind which collimates to paraboloids around the symmetry axis. We reach this result by showing that another, a priori possible, solution with finite Poynting flux can be excluded on the following physical grounds: (1) the wind velocity does not exceed the fast mode speed everywhere and (2) the circumpolar current increases with distance from the source.We show that asymptotic hoop stress collimation is mathematically robust and we give strong arguments why recent anti-collimation claims are not correct. However, in practice, due to the very slow logarithmic decline of the circumpolar current with increasing distance from the source, there is a broad intermediate regime with significant Poynting flux. This intermediate regime, rather than the mathematically exact asymptotic regime, may well apply along the finite length of the jet. We briefly discuss peculiarities that would be associated with Poynting jets in the intermediate regime. Force-free initial conditions in the near field are most likely to produce such jets, in which most of the energy flux is electromagnetic.

description: Distributed learning has become a critical enabler of the massively connected world envisioned by many. This article discusses four key elements of scalable distributed processing and real-time intelligence --- problems, data, communication and computation. Our aim is to provide a fresh and unique perspective about how these elements should work together in an effective and coherent manner. In particular, we {provide a selective review} about the recent techniques developed for optimizing non-convex models (i.e., problem classes), processing batch and streaming data (i.e., data types), over the networks in a distributed manner (i.e., communication and computation paradigm). We describe the intuitions and connections behind a core set of popular distributed algorithms, emphasizing how to trade off between computation and communication costs. Practical issues and future research directions will also be discussed.

description: Democracy restricts the tenure of influential policymakers, rendering political time horizons shorter than those of ordinary market participants. This feature gives rise to a discrepancy between the government’s time rate of discount and the market interest rate, inducing budget a deficit bias. Governments for which this discrepancy exceeds a certain cut-off level will drive their economies to insolvency. The presence of risk premium mitigates the insolvency prospects by increasing the range of government’s discount rates at which the economy remains solvent, while economic growth exacerbates insolvency prospects by decreasing this range.

description: Historically, only humans—not livestock—consumed rice. Consequently, rice is considered a food grain and not a feed grain. However, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations estimates that in 2013 more than 33 million metric tons (mt) of rice were devoted to feed, with the amount growing by 0.5 million mt per year since 2003, an average annual growth rate of 1.7 percent. In several Asian countries, policies incentivized overplanting and boosted stocks, eventually leading governments to release rice from their stocks for feed use at a small fraction of the procurement cost. Thus far, South Korea, Japan, and Thailand have diverted rice into feed grain markets to reduce government stocks. China, the world’s largest producer and consumer of rice, has near-record rice stock levels, and policymakers there could follow a similar path. This report discusses policies and consumption changes that have led to the increased use of rice for feed. It also uses the USDA, Economic Research Service baseline model to simulate the effect on corn and rice markets if China were to divert rice into its feed market.

description: This paper presents a new semantic frame parsing model, based on Berkeley FrameNet, adapted to process spoken documents in order to perform information extraction from broadcast contents. Building upon previous work that had shown the effectiveness of adversarial learning for domain generalization in the context of semantic parsing of encyclopedic written documents, we propose to extend this approach to elocutionary style generalization. The underlying question throughout this study is whether adversarial learning can be used to combine data from different sources and train models on a higher level of abstraction in order to increase their robustness to lexical and stylistic variations as well as automatic speech recognition errors. The proposed strategy is evaluated on a French corpus of encyclopedic written documents and a smaller corpus of radio podcast transcriptions, both annotated with a FrameNet paradigm. We show that adversarial learning increases all models generalization capabilities both on manual and automatic speech transcription as well as on encyclopedic data.

description: Extensive Monte Carlo simulations are used to investigate the low-temperature properties of the random anisotropy Heisenberg model, which describes the magnetic behavior of amorphous rare-earth-transition metal alloy. We show that the low-temperature phase in weak-anisotropy region is characterized by a {\it frozen-in} power-law spin-spin correlation. Numerical observation of the power-law exponent $η$ indicates nonuniversal behavior.

description: The animal pharmaceutical industry (or “animal pharma”) develops and sells antibiotic drugs and other products used for food and companion animals. However, the use of antibiotics in agriculture is under increasing scrutiny from policymakers and consumers. How animal pharma responds in terms of developing and marketing veterinary products has ramifications for agricultural production and meat prices. This report analyzes trends in sales and development of veterinary antibiotics. Antibiotics sales for food-animal production in the United States and the European Union (EU) have shown declines, even as demand for food-animal products continues to increase. The number of veterinary drug and biological products brought through regulatory approval in the United States also declined between 1989 and 2015, and antibiotics for food-animal production account for a decreasing share of new drug approvals.

description: We present the first measurements of the third moment of the voltage fluctuations in a conductor. This technique can provide new and complementary information on the electronic transport in conducting systems. The measurement was performed on non-superconducting tunnel junctions as a function of voltage bias, for various temperatures and bandwidths up to 1GHz. The data demonstrate the significant effect of the electromagnetic environment of the sample.

description: We develop a deep autoencoder architecture that can be used to find a coordinate transformation which turns a nonlinear PDE into a linear PDE. Our architecture is motivated by the linearizing transformations provided by the Cole-Hopf transform for Burgers equation and the inverse scattering transform for completely integrable PDEs. By leveraging a residual network architecture, a near-identity transformation can be exploited to encode intrinsic coordinates in which the dynamics are linear. The resulting dynamics are given by a Koopman operator matrix $\mathbf{K}$. The decoder allows us to transform back to the original coordinates as well. Multiple time step prediction can be performed by repeated multiplication by the matrix $\mathbf{K}$ in the intrinsic coordinates. We demonstrate our method on a number of examples, including the heat equation and Burgers equation, as well as the substantially more challenging Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation, showing that our method provides a robust architecture for discovering interpretable, linearizing transforms for nonlinear PDEs.

Insulin-insensitivity of male genitalia maintains reproductive success in Drosophila

description: For most arthropod species, male genital size is relatively implastic in response to variation in developmental nutrition, such that the genitals in large well-fed males are similar in size to those in small poorly-fed males. In Drosophila melanogaster, reduced nutritional plasticity of the male genitalia is a consequence of low insulin sensitivity through a tissue-specific reduction in the expression of FOXO, a negative growth regulator. Despite an understanding of the proximate developmental mechanisms regulating organ size, the ultimate evolutionary mechanisms that may have led to reduced FOXO expression in the genitalia have not been fully elucidated. Here we show that restoring FOXO activity in the developing genitalia reduces the male genital size and decreases various aspects of male reproductive success. These data support the hypothesis that sexual selection has acted on the male genitalia to limit their nutritional plasticity through a reduction in FOXO expression, linking proximate with ultimate mechanisms of genital evolution.

description: U.S. produce growers have faced increased demand for implementing additional food safety practices, prompted by a series of high-profile foodborne illness outbreaks. This report summarizes a series of open-ended discussions with produce growers and reveals the nuanced reasoning behind growers’ actions in response to evolving food safety standards in a complex market. Growers of five commodities in six regions reveal the long history of food safety standards in the industry, including voluntarily implemented standards developed by themselves, commodity organizations, and government agencies as well as those required by some commercial buyers and some States. Growers most confident in their ability to adapt to new food safety regulations—like the “Produce Rule” in the Federal 2011 Food Safety Modernization Act—had two key characteristics in common: a background and culture of food safety at their company and a well-developed food safety information network. Growers agreed that the adoption of food safety standards have been driven largely by commercial buyer requirements. Highly competitive markets force growers to weigh the hard-to-quantify benefits of risk-reducing practices against their significant costs.
