description: This paper aims to research the effects of combined application of humic acid and urea on the wheat yield and yield component, and establish rational fertilizer application scheme of wheat. Split plot experiment was adopted. Two types of phosphorus fertilizer (adding humic acid or not) was assigned to the main plot, and four types of top dressing modes (different amount of urea and humic acid urea) were used in subplots. Effects of combined application of humic acid and urea on the wheat yield and yield component were researched. 375 kg/ha ordinary DAP + 150 kg/ha urea was used as base fertilizer; topdressing of 300 kg/ha urea humate could effectively promote the plant height, leaf area coefficient and aboveground dry matter amount. Adding humic acid in urea in topdressing significantly enhanced the wheat yield and economic coefficient of wheat. Adding humic acid in urea in topdressing has better effects of yield increasing than base fertilizer, and can be used for large scale extension.

description: Excitation energies, oscillator strengths, and transition rates are calculated for (5d2+5d6s+6s2)--(5d6p+5d5f+6s6p) electric dipole transitions in Yb-like ions with nuclear charges Z ranging from 72 to 100. Relativistic many-body perturbation theory (RMBPT), including the retarded Breit interaction, is used to evaluate retarded E1 matrix elements in length and velocity forms. The calculations start from a [Xe]4f14 core Dirac-Fock potential. First-order RMBPT is used to obtain intermediate coupling coefficients, and second-order RMBPT is used to determine matrix elements. A detailed discussion of the various contributions to energy levels and dipole matrix elements is given for ytterbium like rhenium, Z=75. The resulting transition energies are compared with experimental values and with results from other recent calculations. Trends of excitation energies, line strengths, oscillator strengths, and transition rates as functions of nuclear charge Z are shown graphically for selected states and transitions. These calculations are presented as a theoretical benchmark for comparison with experiment and theory.

description: The economic losses caused by water pollution, air pollution and noise pollution in the Yellow River Delta are estimated, and the green GDP is calculated. The results show that water pollution caused economic losses of about 541.5814 million yuan in the Yellow River Delta in 2010; particulate matter caused health risk economic losses of 163.1369 million yuan, and excess mortality economic losses of 33.4742 million yuan; noise pollution caused economic losses of 594.2768 million yuan. The total losses reach approximately 2705.198 million yuan, accounting for 0.97% of the total GDP. After subtracting the total losses from the total regional GDP (541.58 billion yuan), the revised green GDP is about 536.3127 billion yuan. Obviously, environmental pollution has a certain impact on the economic growth. The coordinated development of environment and economy can be achieved by adjusting the industrial structure, developing circular economy and so on.

description: We study a massless scalar field propagating in the background of a five-dimensional rotating black hole. We showed that in the Myers-Perry metric describing such a black hole the massless field equation allows the separation of variables. The obtained angular equation is a generalization of the equation for spheroidal functions. The radial equation is similar to the radial Teukolsky equation for the 4-dimensional Kerr metric. We use these results to quantize the massless scalar field in the space-time of the 5-dimensional rotating black hole and to derive expressions for energy and angular momentum fluxes from such a black hole.

description: Lingvoecology is worthy of separation into an independent scientific specialty. For several centuries of its existence, linguoecology has shown the vast potential of its scientific content. The development of ecology should not experience obstacles in such a socially important legal space. Both in the Russian segment and in the international format, the values of linguoecology can have a beneficial effect on the further development of world science.
Theory of synchrotron radiation: II. Backreaction in ensembles of particles
Creators: name: Aloisio, Roberto
name: Blasi, Pasquale
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The standard calculations of the synchrotron emission from charged particles in magnetic fields does not apply when the energy losses of the particles are so severe that their energy is appreciably degraded during one Larmor rotation. In these conditions, the intensity and spectrum of the emitted radiation depend on the observation time $T_{obs}$: the standard result is recovered only in the limit $T_{obs}\ll T_{loss}$, where $T_{loss}$ is the time for synchrotron losses. In this case the effects of the radiation backreaction cannot be detected by the observer. We calculate the emitted power of the radiation in the most general case, naturally including both the cases in which the backreaction is relevant and the standard case, where the usual result is recovered. Finally we propose several scenarios of astrophysical interest in which the effects of the backreaction cannot and should not be ignored.

description: The optimization of secondary phase in thermoelectric(TE) materials can {helps in improvisation of material's efficiency}. Being a potential {contender} for lower temperature TE application, bismuth telluride(Bi$_2$Te$_3$) nanoparticles were synthesized via different routes and profiles to optimize their pure single phase. Systematic characterizations were performed with the help of X-ray diffraction (XRD), Rietveld refinement and field effect-scanning electron microscopy(FE-SEM) for structural and morphological behavior, while TE properties such as Seebeck coefficient, electrical conductivity and power-factor were measured for the purest sample chosen. Rietveld refinement in the XRD pattern of the samples revealed that only a small amount ($\sim$ 1.6\%) of Bi$_2$Te$_3$ was formed in co-precipitation method, while the hydrothermal technique increases this phase with increment in synthesis duration. This work focused on the phase evolution of Bi$_2$Te$_3$ with increasing synthesis duration time at constant temperature and vice-versa. XRD and Rietveld refinement revealed that the hydrothermal technique (150 $^\circ$C for 48 hours) can synthesize purest samples (84\% Bi$_2$Te$_3$ phase in this case). {FE-SEM and Energy Dispersive X-ray analysis unveiled that the impure phases in the system {were} quantitatively reduced, and it supported by decline in atomic percentage of oxygen from 37\% to 11\%, in addition to this, it was also found that particle size was also decreased with increase in temperature.} The observed electrical conductivity of the chosen sample is $\sim$20 times greater, while Seebeck coefficient is $\sim$3 times lower than that of pure Bi$_2$Te$_3$ phase. The detailed analysis has generalized the growth mechanism in Bi$_2$Te$_3$ phase evolution by the diffusion of Bi into Te nanorods to fabricate hexagonal Bi$_2$Te$_3$.

In this first paper, the description of odd nuclei within HFB is discussed since it is the key point for the understanding of the above mentioned contributions. To go from an even nucleus to an odd one, the advantage of a two steps process is demonstrated and its physical content is discussed. New results concerning time-reversal symmetry breaking in odd-nuclei are also reported. PACS: 21.10Dr; 21.10.Hw; 21.30.-x. Keywords: Mean-field theories; Pairing correlations; odd nuclei;

description: This paper aims to evaluate ecological benefits of maize harmful and beneficial elements in Hetao agricultural economic zone. Maize rhizosphere soil, seed, stem and leaf samples are collected from Hetao agricultural economic zone in Inner Mongolia, and the content of poisonous, harmful and beneficial elements is analyzed. The main harmful elements account for a small proportion in maize seeds and stems, and most of them are at low enrichment level; most of the beneficial elements are at low enrichment level, and only N is at high enrichment level. The content of As, Pb, Cd, Hg, Cr, Cu and As in maize rhizosphere soil is lower than the national standard, in line with the green standard, and the environment conditions of producing area are excellent. Maize in the study area is pollution-free food, which can be used as sustenance for human and animal.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: In one-out-of-$m$ spacetime-constrained oblivious transfer (SCOT), Alice and Bob agree on $m$ pairwise spacelike separated output spacetime regions $R_0,R_1,\ldots, R_{m-1}$ in an agreed reference frame in a spacetime that is Minkowski, or close to Minkowski; Alice inputs a message $x_i$ in the causal past of a spacetime point $Q_i$ of $R_i$, for $i\in\{0,1,\ldots,m-1\}$; Bob inputs $b\in\{0,1,\ldots,m-1\}$ in the intersection of the causal pasts of $Q_0,Q_1,\ldots,Q_{m-1}$ and outputs $x_b$ in $R_b$; Alice remains oblivious to $b$ anywhere in spacetime; and Bob is unable to obtain $x_i$ in $R_i$ and $x_j$ in $R_j$ for any pair of different numbers $i,j\in\{0,1,\ldots,m-1\}$. We introduce unconditionally secure one-out-of-$m$ SCOT protocols extending the one-out-of-two SCOT protocols of Pitalúa-García [Phy. Rev. A 93, 062346 (2016)] and Pitalúa-García and Kerenidis [Phy. Rev. A 98, 032327 (2018)], for arbitrary integers $m\geq 2$. We define the task of one-out-of-$m$ distributed quantum access with classical memory (DQACM), which works as a subroutine to implement a class $\mathcal{P}_{\text{CC}}$ of one-out-of-$m$ SCOT protocols where distant agents only need to communicate classically. We present unconditionally secure one-out-of-$m$ DQACM protocols and one-out-of-$m$ SCOT protocols of the class $\mathcal{P}_{\text{CC}}$, for arbitrary integers $m\geq2$. We discuss various generalizations of SCOT. In particular, we introduce a straightforward extension of SCOT to a $k$-out-of-$m$ setting, and suggest protocols where distant agents only need to communicate classically, while we leave the investigation of their security as an open problem.

description: The transport properties of a twisted bilayer graphene barrier are investigated for various twist angles. Remarkably, for small twist angles around the magic angle $θ_m \sim 1.05^{\circ}$, the local currents around the AA-stacked regions are strongly enhanced compared to the injected electron rate. Furthermore, the total and counterflow (magnetic) current patterns show high correlations in these regions, given rise to well-defined magnetic moments that form a magnetic Moiré superlattice. The orientation and magnitude of these magnetic moments changes as function of the gate voltage and possible implications for emergent spin-liquid behaviour are discussed.

description: In order to change the distributed status of the meteorological service platform, based on the integration of the self-built service platforms including meteorology, climate, observation and service, National Meteorological Information Center (NMIC) constructs National Meteorological Service Platform (NMSP). NMSP is a unified national meteorological service platform to provide browsing, searching and displaying of observation, weather forecasting, warning information, historical climate data and network information. NMSP uses the MVC design pattern. For adapting the characteristics of meteorological application, above J2EE application framework (Struts + Spring + Hibernate), NMSP encapsulates data exchange module which improves flexibility and efficiency of the system development. On March 2015, NMSP (version 2.0) has been on operational running, which covers six core sections, nearly 100 sub-modules, 2000 kinds of service products. It plays an effective supporting role on various types of meteorological service.

description: Manufacturers have been increasingly relying on environmental management systems (such as ISO 14001 based ones) to comply with government regulations and reduce waste. In this paper, we investigated the impact of ISO 14001 certification on manufacturers’ toxic release by release level. We applied the censored quantile instrumental variable estimator (CQIV) to data on the U.S. transportation equipment manufacturing subsector facilities. Results show that ISO 14001 had a negative and statistically significant effect on the top 10% manufacturing sites in terms of on-site toxic release, but it did not reduce off-site toxic release. Therefore, one should not expect ISO 14001 to have a uniform impact on manufacturing sites’ environmental performance. For large firms, encouraging voluntary adoption of ISO 14001 might be an effective government strategy to reduce on-site pollution. However, for small firms and for the purpose of reducing off-site pollution, other economic incentives or regulations are warranted.

description: Η Ποντοπόρος Ναυτιλία και το Διεθνές Εμπόριο είναι δύο έννοιες άρρηκτα συνδεδεμένες μεταξύ τους. Η ζήτηση για μεταφορές πρώτων υλών και εμπορευμάτων από ένα σημείο του πλανήτη σε ένα άλλο με το μικρότερο δυνατό κόστος οδήγησε την ναυτιλία να πρωταγωνιστήσει σε αυτό το επίπεδο. Αυτό αποδεικνύεται από το γεγονός ότι η ποντοπόρος ναυτιλία καταλαμβάνει πάνω από 90% (ΟΟΣΑ) των συνολικών παγκόσμιων μεταφορών και συμβάλλει σε μεγάλο ποσοστό στην παγκόσμια οικονομία. Η παρούσα εργασία έχει ως στόχο να μελετήσει την συνεισφορά της ελληνικής ποντοπόρου ναυτιλίας στην ελληνική οικονομία διαχρονικά, αλλά περισσότερο κατά την περίοδο της ελληνικής οικονομικής κρίσης. Πριν την παγκόσμια χρηματοπιστωτική κρίση του 2008, την περίοδο που οι παγκόσμιες θαλάσσιες μεταφορές παρουσίασαν αλματώδη άνοδο, η ελληνική ποντοπόρος ναυτιλία βρισκόταν στην κορυφή της παγκόσμιας κατάταξης. Η παγκόσμια οικονομική ύφεση οδήγησε στην καταβαράθρωση των ναύλων και κατά συνέπεια στην μείωση όλων των σχετικών χρηματοοικονομικών μεγεθών. Όταν άρχισαν να εμφανίζονται σημάδια εξόδου από την παγκόσμια κρίση, η ελληνική ναυτιλία διατήρησε την ηγετική της θέση στο παγκόσμιο ναυτιλιακό στερέωμα σε αντίθεση με την ελληνική οικονομία για την οποία αναδύθηκαν αδυναμίες και βαθύτερα αίτια που την οδήγησαν σε περαιτέρω βύθιση. Η συνεισφορά και ο αντίκτυπος της ελληνικής ποντοπόρου ναυτιλίας στην ελληνική κρίση αναλύεται εκτενώς.

description: Socioeconomic, demographic and geographic factors affecting food purchase and acquisition decisions by the individuals and households in the United States are complex. Twenty two variables associated with socioeconomic, demographic and geographic factors affecting food purchase and acquisition decisions are studied in an algorithm that involve machine learning and causality structures to uncover complex causality patterns associated with such variables. Several publically available data sets as well as most recently collected USDA data, Food APS are used in this study. Preliminary analyses show that unemployment, poverty and race are direct causes of food insecurity, while income causes food insecurity via poverty. Unemployment is a common cause for both food insecurity and poverty. This modeling effort will help improve the nation’s path for effective nutrition and health-related policy interventions as stipulated by USDA-Economic Research Service Strategic Goals.

description: We examine the effects of natural disaster exposure on agricultural households who simultaneously make rent-in and rent-out decisions in the land rental market. Our econometric approach accounts for the effects of disaster exposure both on the adjustments in the quantity of operated land (i.e. extensive margin) and agricultural yield conditional on the land quantity adjustments (i.e. intensive margin), based on selectivity-corrected samples of rental market participants. Employing a household survey dataset from Bangladesh, we find that farmers were able to ameliorate their losses from exposure to disasters by optimizing their operational farm size through participation in the land rental market. These results are robust to alternative specifications. This suggests that the land rental market may be an effective instrument reducing disaster risk, and post-disaster policies should take into account this role more systematically.

description: Abstract There is an increasing demand to add pulses to the basket of subsidized goods in the public distribution system (PDS) of India—the world’s largest food-based social safety-net program. Would subsidizing pulses through PDS lead to a significant increase in its consumption? We study the case of subsidy on pulses in select Indian states and its impact on consumption and ultimately nutrition (in terms of protein intake) by exploiting an exogenous variation in prices to answer this question. Between 2004–2005 and 2009/2010, four Indian states introduced subsidized pulses through the country’s food-based social safety-net program, the Public Distribution System (PDS), while other states did not. We exploit exogenous price variations to examine whether the price subsidy on pulses achieves its goal of increasing pulse consumption, and by extension protein intake, among India’s poor. Using several rounds of consumption expenditure survey data and difference-in-difference estimation, we find that the change in consumption of pulses due to the PDS subsidy, though statistically significant, is of a small order, and not large enough to meet the goal of enhancing the nutrition of beneficiaries.

description: The Equivalent Circuit Formulation (ECF) was found to enable robust Power System analysis by formulating Power System problems in terms of their true state variables and further applying circuit simulation methods for their robust solution. This thesis describes the theoretical background to formulate equivalent circuit problems for three different Power System analyses: AC Power Flow analysis, an optimization algorithm to identify Power Flow feasibility, and an optimization-based linear State Estimation (SE) algorithm. We further discuss the design and implementation of a prototype ECF based Power System
simulator SUGAR (Simulation with Unified Grid Analyses and Renewables) in C++ that is able to solve the aforementioned analyses effectively. Furthermore, we utilize this implementation to build a framework for probabilistic Power System analyses using a Monte Carlo-based algorithm. We propose a continuation method that effectively and robustly solves Monte Carlo samples given a reference solution, which enables probabilistic Power Flow analysis on models up to continental interconnection-sized systems. In addition, we implement variable correlations within and between models, and propose a probabilistic generation control algorithm. After comparing our linear State Estimation algorithm that incorporates linear models for
PMU and RTU measurements to a traditional WLS estimator, we propose a probabilistic approach
to State Estimation utilizing this algorithm. We further demonstrate the feasibility of such an approach and present probabilistic SE studies including network uncertainties. Finally, we propose an approach to identify “true”-grid states by a Monte Carlo-based stochastic optimization.

description: We develop a game-theoretic framework of negotiation over sharing of trans-boundary resources between neighboring countries. The downstream country offers a non-water “leverage” good in exchange for water access and makes a take-it-or-leave-it offer to the upstream country. The downstream country can further invest in water provision before the negotiations. We compare three types of outcomes: the first-best outcomes where an “ex-ante social planner” choses both the water investment and the water and leverage goods exchanged in the negotiations; the outcome when an “ex-post social planner” only enters at the negotiation stage; and the outcome of bilateral negotiations. We argue that all three cases can be empirically realistic; show that the outcome with the ex-post social planner can distort the downstream country’s investment incentive; and that the bilateral negotiation outcome can lead to water investment either below or above the efficient/ex-ante planner’s preferred choice.

description: Despite the near-eradication of syphilis in the United States in the late 1990s, new infections have surged over the past 20 years. Dubbed, "the great imitator," syphilis infections often can be misdiagnosed and resultantly untreated. This leads to people inadvertently infecting others. This article reviews the history of syphilis, including the unethical studies undertaken in the past; current epidemiology; treatment guidelines; and strategies to reduce new infections.
Emission of Positron Annihilation Line Radiation by Clusters of Galaxies

description: Clusters of galaxies are enriched with positrons from jets of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) or from the interaction of cosmic rays with the intracluster gas. We follow the cooling of these positrons and show that their eventual annihilation with cluster electrons yields a narrow annihilation line. Unlike annihilation in the interstellar medium of galaxies, the line produced in clusters is not smeared by three-photon decay of positronium, because positronium formation is suppressed at the high (>~ 1 keV) temperature of the cluster electrons. We show that if AGN jets are composed of e^+e^- pairs, then the annihilation line from rich clusters within a distance of 100 Mpc might be detectable with future space missions, such as INTEGRAL or EXIST.

description: This study examines the impact of the Wheat Initiative technology package promoted by the research and extension systems in Ethiopia on wheat growers in the highlands of the country. The package includes improved wheat seed, a lower seeding density, row planting, fertilizer recommendations, and marketing assistance. A sample of 490 wheat growers was randomly assigned to one of three groups: the full-package intervention group, a marketing-assistance-only group, and a control group. The results suggest that the full-package farmers had around 14 percent higher yields after controlling for the type of farmer and household characteristics. Implementation of the Wheat Initiative was successful in terms of the distribution of improved seed and fertilizer, though only 61 percent of the intervention group adopted row planting and few farmers received marketing assistance. The measured yield difference may underestimate the true yield difference associated with the technology because of incomplete adoption of the recommended practices by intervention farmers and adoption of some practices by control farmers.

description: We explore the relationship between voluntary and mandatory regulation to assess whether there is any evidence of regulatory relief. Specifically, we investigate whether firm participation in the Responsible Care (RC) program reduces pressure from OSHA inspections. We use two indicators of regulatory relief: (1) the overall probability of an OSHA inspection regardless of its type, and (2) the probability of a planned inspection relative to other inspection types conditional on being selected into an OSHA inspection. We apply a control function model to address the endogeneity of RC participation that is due to a potential reverse causality between participating in RC and being inspected by OSHA. Our results show that participating in RC did not lower the overall probability of an inspection, however, RC participants experienced fewer planned inspections than non-RC participants. We conclude that there is regulatory relief from OSHA inspections due to participating in RC but not enough to overwhelm the probability of an OSHA inspection due to other, unplanned triggers.

description: The odd-even mass staggering in nuclei is analyzed in the context of self-consistent mean-field calculations, for spherical as well as for deformed nuclei. For these nuclei, the respective merits of the energy differences $Δ^{(3)}$ and $Δ^{(5)}$ to extract both the pairing gap and the time-reversal symmetry breaking effect at the same time are extensively discussed. The usual mass formula $Δ^{(3)}$, is shown to contain additional mean-field contributions when realistic pairing is used in the calculation. A simple tool is proposed in order to remove time-reversal symmetry breaking effects from $Δ^{(5)}$. Extended comparisons with the odd-even mass staggering obtained in the zero pairing limit (schematic model and self-consistent calculations) show the non-perturbative contribution of pairing correlations on this observable.

description: Farmland in the United States has undergone significant transformation over the last decades. Productivity increases, the introduction of the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), and the emergence of the biofuel industry have all contributed to significant land-use changes. The potential to produce cellulosic ethanol as well as climate change will continue to change the agricultural landscape. In this paper, we present preliminary results on the importance of the evolution of agricultural productivity in the future and how it changes the land-use allocation at the county level. In particular, we are interested in yield projections and their implications for ecosystem services. For this purpose, we use a simple optimization model predicting land-use at the county level for three crops and CRP land. Given differential yield increases varying by crop and county, the potential for land-sparing and distinct ecosystem services arises.

description: Correlation between the variations of quasar absorption lines and the ionizing continuum have been recently confirmed in systematic studies. However, no convincing individual case is reported. We present a statistical analysis of the variable C iv broad absorption line (BAL) in the quasar SDSS J141007.74+541203.3, which have been observed with 44 epochs by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 14. Grier et al. (2015) has recently concluded that the most likely cause of the variability of the BAL in SDSS J141007.74+541203.3 is a rapid response to changes in the incident ionizing continuum. In this paper, we confirm the anticorrelation between the equivalent width of BALs and the flux of the continuum based on the spectra of this quasar that show significant variations, which serve as another independent evidence for the view of Grier et al. (2015).
