description: We investigate a question of Cooper adjacent to the Virtual Haken Conjecture. Assuming certain conjectures in number theory, we show that there exist hyperbolic rational homology 3-spheres with arbitrarily large injectivity radius. These examples come from a tower of abelian covers of an explicit arithmetic 3-manifold. The conjectures we must assume are the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis and a mild strengthening of results of Taylor et al on part of the Langlands Program for GL_2 of an imaginary quadratic field. The proof of this theorem involves ruling out the existence of an irreducible two dimensional Galois representation (rho) of Gal(Qbar/Q(sqrt(-2))) satisfying certain prescribed conditions. In contrast to similar questions of this form, (rho) is allowed to have arbitrary ramification at some prime of Z[sqrt(-2)]. Finally, we investigate the congruence covers of twist-knot orbifolds. Our experimental evidence suggests that these topologically similar orbifolds have rather different behavior depending on whether or not they are arithmetic. In particular, the congruence covers of the nonarithmetic orbifolds have a paucity of homology.

description: К одной из ключевых проблем, предусмотренных комплексной программой научно-исследовательских работ, относится проблема коренного совершенствования оперативно-справочных и оперативно-розыскных дактилоскопических учетов. Применение отдельных технических и технологических усовершенствований на каком-либо участке существующего на сегодняшний день процесса обработки дактилоскопической информации может привести лишь к ограниченному успеху. Так, применение новейших технических средств обнаружения и изъятия следов пальцев рук, безусловно, способствует росту их количества и улучшению качества. Однако влияние этого роста на достижение главной цели — повышения раскрываемости преступлений — весьма незначительно, т.к. останется нерешенным вопрос о практической возможности осуществления идентификации изъятых следов по достаточно объемным дактилоскопическим картотекам. В связи с этим разработаны технические требования на создание комплексной автоматизированной дактилоскопической информационной системы (АДИС). Главная цель разработки АДИС (ее целевая функция) определяется как коренное улучшение процесса сбора и использования дактилоскопической информации для повышения эффективности решения оперативно-розыскных и оперативно-справочных задач ОВД.

Subjects: subject: Transportation Engineering

description: The objective of this study was to develop models which would simulate internal-external trips and external-external (through) trips. Regression analysis and cross-classification of data were tested in an attempt to predict the number of internal-external trips and the percentage of through trips. Regression analysis was used in the development of a through-trip distribution model. Grouping data for analysis created some problems; however, trial-and-error evaluation enabled selection of variables which produced reasonable results. Variables found to be most significant in the development of internal-external models were population and employment. For through-trip models, variables used were population, functional classification, AADT at the external station, and percent trucks. In developing through-trip distribution models, variables of significance were AADT at the destination station, percent trucks at destination station, percent through trips at destination station, and ratio of destination AADT to total AADT's at all stations (value squared).  Overall, the models developed in this study appear to be adequate for planning purposes when ease of application and accuracy of the models are considered.
Phenylpropanoid metabolism in poplar : characterization of the 4-coumarate: CoA ligase gene family and a putative hydroxycinnamoyl-CoA thioesterase
Creators: name: Allina, Sandra Mary
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The work presented in this thesis is part of a larger study designed to examine the possibility of altering lignin content and/or composition by genetic engineering. Hybrid poplar was used as a model tree system. Lignin precursors (cinnamyl alcohols) are derived from phenylpropanoid metabolism. 4-coumarate:CoA ligase (4CL) activity is required for the activation of hydroxycinnamic acids prior to their being fed into the lignin specific branch pathway. The purpose of this research was to test the hypothesis that multiple genes encode 4CL isoforms that are differentially expressed and preferentially utilize one or more methoxylated hydroxycinnamic acid substrate. 4CL is encoded by a gene family in hybrid poplar. Two full-length cDNA clones (4CL-216 and 4CL-9) representing two different genes (4CL1 and 4CL2) were isolated from a young leaf library and characterized. Southern blot analysis demonstrated that other 4CL genes exist in the poplar genome. Northern blot analysis demonstrated that 4CL1 and 4CL2 are differentially expressed. 4CL1 is preferentially expressed in old leaves, while 4CL2 is preferentially expressed in young leaves. Neither gene is expressed at high levels in developing xylem and they may not play a major role in lignification of this tissue. The 4CL cDNA clones were expressed in a insect cell/baculovirus system. Partially purified recombinant 4CL proteins were tested for substrate preference. Both of the recombinant 4CL proteins used hydroxycinnamic acid substrates in a similar manner. The substrate preferences were similar to those found for each of the partially purified native 4CL isoforms (Allina et al., 1998). This suggests that 4CL isoforms with large differences in their substrate utilization profiles do not, in fact, exist in poplar. The recombinant 4CL proteins use cinnamic acid while the native proteins do not. It was hypothesized that a cellular factor was responsible for modifying native 4CL such that it could no longer use cinnamic acid as a substrate. However, the results of this study strongly suggest that 4CL activity is not being modified but rather, that a thioesterase activity is responsible for the observed phenomena. The thioesterase is able to use all hydroxycinammoyl-CoA thioesters as substrates. This was previously masked by the fact that recombinant 4CL could convert most hydroxycinnamic acids to hydroxycinnamoyl-CoA thioesters faster than the thioesterase could perform the reverse reaction. The possible role of a hydroxycinnamoyl-CoA thioesterase in phenylpropanoid metabolism is discussed.

description: This report summarizes background information and presents the development of procedures for preparing and updating the lnterstate Safety Improvement Program. There are two major sections: (1) development of procedures for identifying safety needs and (2) development of procedures for prioritizing safety needs. Related to the identification of needs are eleven subsections which are based on historical data, inventories of existing facilities, and analysis of current data. Several accident surveillance procedures were used to identify sites, sections, and elements of the roadway which warrant improvements. Procedures for prioritizing safety needs are based on summaries of data from two reports by the Division of Research. One is based on the application of dynamic programming to the spot-safety improvement program and the other relates the use of dynamic programming for selecting resurfacing projects. Application of the procedures as outlined in this report should provide the guidance and overall support information necessary for development of a safety improvement program as specified in Federal Highway Administration Program Manual, 6-8-2-1.

description: Высокая турбулентность факторов социально-экономического характера во внешней среде все больше способствует формировании адаптационных свойств любой системы. В последние годы существенные изменения отмечаются в глобальной среде на внешних рынках, что сказывается на экспортно-ориентированных компаниях России. Важным направлением повышения эффективности любой организации является система контроллинга, а также ее совершенствование, предполагающая бюджетирование, планирования, анализа хозяйственной деятельности, а также оптимизацию бизнес-процессов. Одной из сильных сторон крупных интегрированных формирований, ориентированных на экспорт, является система контроллинга обеспечивающая рациональное использование ресурсного потенциала, с дальнейшей реализацией потенциала компании. В представленной научной работе рассмотрена система контроллинга в одной из крупных интегрированных компаний России – Финансово-промышленной Группе Синара. Система контроллинга анализируемой компании направлена на улучшение результатов ее деятельности посредством снижения затрат в производстве и реализации продукции и услуг, внедрению ресурсосберегающих технологий, направленных на повышение производительности труда, качества выпускаемой продукции, а также улучшению экологичности производства. Последнее становится более всего актуальным в связи с вводом в Евросоюзе так называемого «углеродного налога», что может сказаться на значительном росте себестоимости производимой продукции, направленной на экспорт. Система контроллинга компании, в виде департамента контроллинга в ее организационной структуре ориентирована на рыночные тенденции в экономике, позволяет быстро адаптироваться к изменяющимся условиям, тем самым в системе в целом создать адаптационные свойства способные нивелировать негативные тенденции глобальной среды. При этом анализ через систему контроллинга позволяет выявлять не только угрозы во внешней среде, а также возможности, которые можно использовать с целью устойчивого развития системы в целом. Рассмотренные в научной статье аспекты доказывают необходимость контроллинга и его совершенствования в системе управления вертикально-интегрированных компаний с целью повышения эффективности ее деятельности, обеспечивающих совершенствование адаптационных свойств системы и ее устойчивое развитие.

description: This report presents another phase of a study on evaluation of paint stripes and glass beads. The results from the previous phases of this study indicated that large-scale, experimental evaluation of a 1.65 refractive-index bead and a large-gradation, 1.52 refractive-index bead was warranted. Poor embedment of beads, however, precluded the evaluation because the quick-drying paint used did not allow beads to be properly embedded. After progressive thinning of the paint with solvent, adequate bead embedment was obtained. Drying time, of course, was longer.  Attempts were made to obtain good embedment without extending the drying time. This included testing of a paint having a lower viscosity and by trials at lower temperatures and thinner applications. These efforts were not successful. A survey of other states indicated that over half of the 42 respondents were having a problem similar to that being experienced in Kentucky.

description: Стандартные показатели показателей здоровья населения основаны на показателях материнской и младенческой смертности и смертности детей в возрасте до пяти лет. Забота о здоровье матери и будущего ребенка важнейшая часть здоровья населения. Поэтому забота о здоровье матери и ребенка во время беременности и родов, оценка всех рисков во время беременности имеет первостепенное значение для любой системы здравоохранения. Известно, что в 20–25% случаев перинатальная смертность вызвана ингаляционными аномалиями плода, и многие из них могут быть объяснены генетическими нарушениями. В общем, генетическое заболевание — это состояние, вызванное аномалиями в генах или хромосомах. Хромосомы сложные тела в ядре клетки как носители генов. Хотя некоторые заболевания возникают из-за генетических аномалий, приобретенных в нескольких клетках в течение жизни, термин «генетическое заболевание» чаще всего относится к заболеваниям, присутствующим во всех клетках организма и присутствующим с момента зачатия. Некоторые генетические нарушения вызваны хромосомными аномалиями из-за ошибок в мейозе, процессе, который производит репродуктивные клетки, такие как сперматозоиды и яйцеклетки. Примеры включают синдром Дауна (дополнительная 21 хромосома), синдром Тернера (45X0) и синдром Клайнфельтера (мужчина с 2 X-хромосомами). Другие генетические изменения могут происходить во время производства половых клеток родителем. Одним из примеров являются мутации с повторением триплетной экспансии, которые могут вызывать синдром ломкой Х-хромосомы или болезнь Хантингтона. Дефектные гены также могут быть унаследованы в неизменном виде от родителей. В этом случае генетическое заболевание называется наследственным заболеванием. Это часто может произойти неожиданно, когда два здоровых носителя дефектного рецессивного гена размножаются. Хромосомные аномалии — это нарушения нормального хромосомного состава клетки и основная причина генетических заболеваний у людей; некоторые хромосомные аномалии, такие как транслокации или хромосомные инверсии, не вызывают заболевания у носителей, хотя они могут приводить к более высокой доле хромосомных нарушений у ребенка. Аномальное количество хромосом или хромосомных наборов, называемых анеуплоидией, может вызвать летальное состояние или вызвать генетические нарушения. Кроме того, получение или потеря хромосомного материала может привести к генетическому нарушению (делеция, дополнительная копия как трисомия). Хромосомные мутации вызывают изменения целых хромосом (более одного гена) или количества присутствующих хромосом.

description: Although an estimated US$6 billion is invested annually in our planet’s biological diversity, little research has been conducted on which conservation treatments work best or provide best value for money. Conserving biodiversity efficiently depends on identifying conservation treatments which provide greatest return on investment. Where controlled experiments are not possible, panel econometric techniques can be used to determine the effectiveness of conservation treatments. A long-running Yellow-Eyed Penguin (Megadyptes antipodes) nest count in New Zealand presents a golden opportunity to compare the effectiveness and cost effectiveness of three commonly used conservation treatments—trapping of introduced predators, revegetation, and intensive management. Following ecological theory, we specify a density-dependent population growth rate. We control for year effects and site characteristics such as land cover, slope, and elevation. We confront the possibility of selection bias in treatment with site fixed effects and with an instrumental variable based on site accessibility. Of the three treatments analyzed, only intensive management is significantly correlated with increases in site-level penguin population growth rate. We estimate the marginal cost of providing yellow-eyed penguins through intensive management to be NZ$68,600 per nest.

description: We study the effects of including a nonzero positron-to-electron fraction in emitting plasma on the polarized SEDs and sub-millimeter images of jet and accretion flow models for near-horizon emission from M87* and Sgr A*. For M87*, we consider a semi-analytic fit to the force-free plasma regions of a general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic jet simulation which we populate with power-law leptons with a constant electron-to-magnetic pressure ratio. For Sgr A*, we consider a standard self-similar radiatively inefficient accretion flow where the emission is predominantly from thermal leptons with a small fraction in a power-law tail. In both models, we fix the positron-to-electron ratio throughout the emission region. We generate polarized images and spectra from our models using the general-relativistic ray tracing and radiative transfer from GRTRANS. We find that a substantial positron fraction reduces the circular polarization fraction at infrared and higher frequencies. However, in sub-millimeter images higher positron fractions increase polarization fractions due to strong effects of Faraday conversion. We find a M87* jet model that best matches the available broadband total intensity and 230 GHz polarization data is a sub-equipartition, with positron fraction of $\simeq$ 10%. We show that jet models with significant positron fractions do not satisfy the polarimetric constraints at 230 GHz from the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT). Sgr A* models show similar trends in their polarization fractions with increasing pair fraction. Both models suggest that resolved, polarized EHT images are useful to constrain the presence of pairs at 230 GHz emitting regions of M87* and Sgr A*.

description: We investigate the dynamics of random walks on weighted networks. Assuming that the edge's weight and the node's strength are used as local information by a random walker, we study two kinds of walks, weight-dependent walk and strength-dependent walk. Exact expressions for stationary distribution and average return time are derived and confirmed by computer simulations. We calculate the distribution of average return time and the mean-square displacement for two walks on the BBV networks, and find that a weight-dependent walker can arrive at a new territory more easily than a strength-dependent one.

description: This study examines the impact of flood hazard zone location on residential property values. The study utilises data from over 2,000 private residential property sales occurred during 2006 in North Shore City, New Zealand. A spatial autoregressive hedonic model is developed to provide efficient estimates of the marginal effect of flood prone risks on property values. Our results suggest that a property located within a flood hazard zone sells for 4.3% less than an equivalent property located outside the flood hazard zone. Given the median house price, estimated discount associated with flood risks is approximately NZ$22,000.

description: We examine certain two-charge supersymmetric states with spin in five-dimensional string theories which can be viewed as small black rings when the gravitational coupling is large. Using the 4D-5D connection, these small black rings correspond to four-dimensional non-spinning small black holes. Using this correspondence, we compute the degeneracy of the microstates of the small black rings exactly and show that it is in precise agreement with the macroscopic degeneracy to all orders in an asymptotic expansion. Furthermore, we analyze the five-dimensional small black ring geometry and show qualitatively that the Regge bound arises from the requirement that closed time-like curves be absent.

description: The aim of the “Three Reductions, Three Gains” (3R3G) project is to reduce production costs, improve farmers’ health, and protect the environment in irrigated rice production in Vietnam through the reduced use of seeds, nitrogen fertilizer, and pesticides. It was developed by the International Rice Research Institute and introduced to farmers in South Vietnam by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development in early 2000 through traditional extension work and mass media. Farm survey data provide evidence of adoption of 3R3G primarily in terms of lowering seed rates. The resultant changes in the farm production/cost structure and farmer profits are measured.

description: В статье говорится о том, что глобальные преобразования в России на рубеже XX –ХХI веков привели к серьезному обострению социально-экономических проблем, к усилению социальной дифференциации, изоляции, исключению (эксклюзии) или ограничению доступа социально незащищенных групп населения, в том числен детей и подростков, к полноправному участию в реальной общественной жизни. Авторы констатируют, что угрозу национальной социальной безопасности создают духовно-культурные риски, связанные с реформированием системы образования, агрессивным влиянием массовой культуры, стимулирующей гедонистически-паразитические настроения, нетерпимость к незащищенным, к носителям иных традиций, языка и т.д. В статье отмечается, что в современной России многочисленные проблемы детей и детства не всегда находят достойного и результативного решения. Таким образом, на наш взгляд, важными проблемами обеспечения безопасности детства и юношества являются резкая социальная дифференциация юного сообщества и их слабая социально-правовая защищенность, что наводит на мысль о необходимости разработки концептуальных программ для решения острых и насущных проблем детей и подростков современной России.

description: Quantum gravity is expected to contain descriptions of semiclassical spacetime geometries in quantum superpositions. To date, no framework for modelling such superpositions has been devised. Here, we provide a new phenomenological description for the response of quantum probes (i.e. Unruh-deWitt detectors) on a spacetime manifold in quantum superposition. By introducing an additional control degree of freedom, one can assign a Hilbert space to the spacetime, allowing it to exist in a superposition of spatial or curvature states. Applying this approach to static de Sitter space, we discover scenarios in which the effects produced by the quantum spacetime are operationally indistinguishable from those induced by superpositions of Rindler trajectories in Minkowski spacetime. The distinguishability of such quantum spacetimes from superpositions of trajectories in flat space reduces to the equivalence or non-equivalence of the field correlations between the superposed amplitudes.

The presence of a multiple system had been indicated by the precession of the outflow and the double jet system detected earlier at cm-wavelengths. Our new K, L' & M' band infrared images obtained with the UKIRT under exceptional seeing conditions on Mauna Kea are able to resolve the central source for the first time, and we identify two objects separated by ~ 0.5'' (850 AU). The K and L' images also uncover features characteristic of a nearly edge-on disk, similar to many low mass protostars with disks: two emission regions oriented along an outflow axis and separated by a dark lane. The peaks of the L' & M' band and mm-wavelength emission are on the dark lane, presumably locating the primary young star. The thickness of the disk is measured to be ~ 850 AU for radii < 1000 AU. Approximate limits on the NIR magnitudes of the two young stars indicate a high-mass system, although with much uncertainty. These results are a demonstration of the high-mass nature of the system, and the similarities of the star-formation process in the low-mass and high-mass regimes viz. the presence of a disk-accretion stage. The companion is located along the dark lane, consistent with it being in the equatorial/disk plane, indicating a disk-accretion setting for massive, multiple, star-formation.

description: This article explores citing and referencing systems in Social Sciences and Medicine articles from different theoretical and practical perspectives, considering bibliographic references as a facet of descriptive representation. The analysis of citing and referencing elements (i.e. bibliographic references, mentions, quotations, and respective in-text reference pointers) identified citing and referencing habits within disciplines under consideration and errors occurring over the long term as stated by previous studies now expanded. Future expected trends of information retrieval from bibliographic metadata was gathered by approaching these referencing elements from the FRBR Entities concepts. Reference styles do not fully accomplish with their role of guiding authors and publishers on providing concise and well-structured bibliographic metadata within bibliographic references. Trends on representative description revision suggest a predicted distancing on the ways information is approached by bibliographic references and bibliographic catalogs adopting FRBR concepts, including the description levels adopted by each of them under the perspective of the FRBR Entities concept. This study was based on a subset of Medicine and Social Sciences articles published in 2019 and, therefore, it may not be taken as a final and broad coverage. Future studies expanding these approaches to other disciplines and chronological periods are encouraged. By approaching citing and referencing issues as descriptive representation's facets, findings on this study may encourage further studies that will support Information Science and Computer Science on providing tools to become bibliographic metadata description simpler, better structured and more efficient facing the revision of descriptive representation actually in progress.

description: Specimens of
M. dolosalis
were recorded during daytime in two different localities of the center-south of Portugal by the junior author, between 2021 and 2024. Both are new county records (Guarda and Lisboa), bringing the total known records of the species in the country to seven (Table 1).
Quinta de Leandres (Manteigas, Guarda) lies in a north-east-facing side of the valley of river Zêzere circa 700 m a.s.l., under a Supra-Mediterranean climatic regime where dominant vegetation include Pinus pinaster and Castanaea sativa woodlands. M. dolosalis was observed here on the 21 st May 2021 (Fig. 1a).
East of Cabra Figa (Rio de Mouro, Lisboa), under a Thermo-Mediterranean climatic regime, M. dolosalis was observed in late March 2024 (Fig. 1b) in a degraded maquis where Quercus coccifera is the dominant arboreal species, but rich dry-meadows harbor a diverse calciphilous flora.

description: For a finite group G acting on a smooth projective variety X, we construct two new G-equivariant rings: first the stringy K-theory of X, and second the stringy cohomology of X. For a smooth Deligne-Mumford stack Y we also construct a new ring called the full orbifold K-theory of Y. For a global quotient Y=[X/G], the ring of G-invariants of the stringy K-theory of X is a subalgebra of the full orbifold K-theory of the the stack Y and is linearly isomorphic to the ``orbifold K-theory'' of Adem-Ruan (and hence Atiyah-Segal), but carries a different, ``quantum,'' product, which respects the natural group grading. We prove there is a ring isomorphism, the stringy Chern character, from stringy K-theory to stringy cohomology, and a ring homomorphism from full orbifold K-theory to Chen-Ruan orbifold cohomology. These Chern characters satisfy Grothendieck-Riemann-Roch for etale maps. We prove that stringy cohomology is isomorphic to Fantechi and Goettsche's construction. Since our constructions do not use complex curves, stable maps, admissible covers, or moduli spaces, our results simplify the definitions of Fantechi-Goettsche's ring, of Chen-Ruan's orbifold cohomology, and of Abramovich-Graber-Vistoli's orbifold Chow. We conclude by showing that a K-theoretic version of Ruan's Hyper-Kaehler Resolution Conjecture holds for symmetric products. Our results hold both in the algebro-geometric category and in the topological category for equivariant almost complex manifolds.

description: Purpose: Playing the string instrument predisposes musicians to musculoskeletal problems in the upper extremity and trunk which usually affects more than one anatomical region. These musculoskeletal problems could result in difficulty in performing activities of daily living and playing a musical instrument. The aim of this study was to evaluate disability associated with musculoskeletal problems of string instrumentalists in South Africa by using the quick Disability of the Arms, Shoulder and Hands (DASH) and the Neck Disability Index (NDI) as measuring tools. Materials and methods: String instrumentalists from both amateur and professional orchestras were recruited via an electronic and a paper based survey to participate in the study by completing a self-administered questionnaire. The prevalence of musculoskeletal problems affecting performance was 56.6% and the trunk and shoulders were mainly affected. The overall disability scores of the QuickDASH and the NDI were 12.9 ± 13.2 and 11.5 ± 9.8 respectively. Symptomatic individuals had higher disability scores, 13.9 ± 13.8 (QuickDASH) and 15.0 ± 10.5 (NDI). Conclusion: The presence of musculoskeletal problems in one or more anatomic regions results in activity limitation and participation restriction of activities of daily living and it also impedes performance, therefore, it is important to evaluate the biomechanical structures involved in playing in order to proffer injury prevention strategies directly focussed on the basic components of performance.

description: Fungi cause significant diseases in horticultural crops, causing economic loss. Fungicides are used to manage these infections, but new generation fungicides have improved disease management due to their novel mode of action, site specificity, and minimal effect on nontarget organisms. Various formulations available today ensure the maximum effectiveness and even distribution of active ingredients across the region of application. To ensure food safety, countries monitor fungicide residue levels in domestic and imported foods. Technological advances can improve plant uptake and reduce fungicide toxicity.

description: Invasions by non-indigenous plant species pose serious economic threats to Australian agricultural industries. When an invasion is discovered a decision has to be made as to whether to attempt to eradicate it, contain it or do nothing. These decisions should be based on long term benefits and costs. This paper describes a bioeconomic simulation framework with a mathematical model representing weed spread linked to a dynamic programming model to provide a means of determining the economically optimal weed management strategies over time. The modelling framework is used to evaluate case study invasive weed control problems in the Australian grains industry.
Topological line in frustrated Toric code models

description: Typical topological systems undergo a topological phase transition in the presence of a strong enough perturbation. In this paper, we propose an adjustable frustrated Toric code with a "topological line" at which no phase transition happens in the system and the topological order is robust against a non-linear perturbation of arbitrary strength. This important result is a consequence of the interplay between frustration and nonlinearity in our system, which also causes to the emergence of other interesting phenomena such as reentrant topological phases and survival of the topological order under local projection operations. Our study opens a new window towards more robust topological quantum codes which are cornerstones of large-scale quantum computing.

Отдельный акцент сделан на формировании государственной политики и ключевых аспектах создания политических институтов в период правления Сталина в России в контексте развития коммунистической идеологии и социалистического строительства. Так же обозначено, что либеральная система, установленная Конституцией 1853 г. в Аргентине, показала свою неспособность справиться с политическими, социальными, экономическими и идеологическими вызовами и трансформации Аргентины после фальсификации выборов в 1930 г.
Scaling or multiscaling: Varieties of universality in a driven nonlinear model

description: Physical understanding of how the interplay between symmetries and nonlinear effects can control the scaling and multiscaling properties in a coupled driven system, such as magnetohydrodynamic turbulence or turbulent binary fluid mixtures, remains elusive till the date. To address this generic issue, we construct a conceptual nonlinear hydrodynamic model, parametrised jointly by the nonlinear coefficients, and the spatial scaling of the variances of the advecting stochastic velocity and the stochastic additive driving force, respectively. By using a perturbative one-loop dynamic renormalisation group method, we calculate the multiscaling exponents of the suitably defined equal-time structure functions of the dynamical variable. We show that depending upon the control parameters the model can display a variety of universal scaling behaviours ranging from simple scaling to multiscaling.

description: We examine whether there has been a decline in the returns from Australian public investment in research on broadacre agriculture. Complementing a forthcoming paper by Mullen, we use alternative specifications for the regression equation, which employs the log of total factor productivity (TFP) as the dependent variable. The rate of return is computed on an annual basis rather than by using multi-year averages. In contrast to Mullen’s earlier preliminary analysis, we have now found some evidence of a decline in the rate of return on public R&D investment, lending some support to recently voiced concerns on this matter.
