description: Despite significant media and research interests drawn into the Canadian dairy sector in recent years, no study has estimated price and income elasticities of demand for major dairy products at the provincial level using longitudinal data. This article attempts to bridge this gap by estimating a demand system for seven major dairy products in Ontario. Employing Barten’s General Model, four alternative demand systems were nested and the NBR demand system was found to be the most appropriate for the data set in Ontario on both theoretical and empirical grounds. The symmetry, homogeneity and concavity conditions are all supported by the data. Empirically, all own-price elasticities are negative and statistically significant. The expenditure elasticities of all dairy products are positive, less than unity and statistically significant. Finally, most dairy products are net substitutes in consumption.

description: Structural change or the change in the sectoral composition of output is a common component in the growth process in developing economies. Not recognized in previous models of this process is the households' choice of urban - rural residency which not only alters the demand for regionally specific goods (e.g., housing, education, health), and hence the cost of living, but also the stock of rural - urban labor and the rate of growth and structural change. We investigate the relationship between GDP growth, regional imbalances, and rural-urban migration using a neoclassical multi-region-sector growth model. The household decision for migration is dependent on the cost-of living differentials implied by the relative changes in regional home goods prices across regions as capital deepening occurs and the capital stock within each region evolves. Results show that allowing for residency choice provides a much richer explanation of the forces of structural change and growth.

description: In the framework of Einstein-Maxwell-axion theory we consider a static field configuration in the outer zone of a magnetic star. We assume that this field configuration is formed by the following interacting quartet: a spherically symmetric gravitational field of the Reissner-Nordström type, pseudoscalar field, associated with an axionic dark matter, strong intrinsic magnetic field, and axionically induced electric field. Based on the analysis of the solutions to the master equations of the model, we show that the structure of the formed field configuration reveals the following triple effect. First, if the strong magnetic field of the star has the dipole component, the axionic halo around the magnetic star with spherically symmetric gravitational field is no longer spheroidal, and the distortion is induced by the axion-photon coupling; second, due to the distortion of the axionic halo the magnetic field is no longer pure dipolar, and the induced quadruple, octupole, etc., components appear thus redistributing the magnetic energy between the components with more steep radial profiles than the dipolar one; third, the interaction of the axionic and magnetic fields produces the electric field, which inherits their multipole structure. We attract attention to possible applications of the predicted field restructuring to the theory of axionic rotating magnetars.

description: We compute the O(alpha_t alpha_s) two-loop corrections to the neutral Higgs boson masses in the Minimal Supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model. An appropriate use of the effective potential allows us to obtain simple analytical formulae, valid for arbitrary values of mA and of the mass parameters in the stop sector. We elucidate some subtleties of the effective potential calculation, and find full agreement with the numerical output of the existing diagrammatic calculation. We discuss in detail the limit of heavy gluino.

description: The adoption rate of improved maize varieties (IMVs) is low among small-scale farmers in South-Kivu province, eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), despite extensive dissemination efforts by local and international research institutions and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). The level of understanding of farmers’ preferences and needs for released IMVs, as well as socioeconomic factors influencing their adoption in South-Kivu, is still limited. This study aimed at assessing farmers’ preference criteria for maize varieties and identifying factors driving the adoption of IMVs as well as major production constraints in South-Kivu, to guide varietal selection and breeding initiatives. Results showed that the most farmer-preferred attributes were high yield potential, early maturity, taste, and pest/disease resistance, with significant disparities across market segments. Socioeconomic factors such as the farmer’s age, experience, membership of farmer organization, contacts with extension services, land ownership, seed availability, access to credits and labour availability bear significant influence on the adoption decision of IMVs. While experience and membership of farmers’ organizations negatively influence the adoption of the combination of local and IMVs. Lack of land, pest and disease, lack of labour, and unavailability of quality seeds were the most important constraints faced by farmers. In addition to controlling negative socioeconomic factors and production constraints, it would be essential to initiate breeding initiatives that consider local farmers’ preferences and needs, to boost IMVs uptake by farmers in South-Kivu.

description: We study the impact of social identity on risk sharing behavior in an ethnically diverse society in the Central Highlands of Vietnam. We ran Solidarity Games with 285 male household heads from two distinct ethnic groups. We varied participants' social identity by altering the ethnic composition in the risk-sharing group of three. Our main strategy is to influence identity induced solidarity towards the unlucky coplayer by manipulating the identity of the non-affected third player. Our results are consistent with social identity theory, predicting that identity is endogenous to group composition. We partially confirm existing evidence on in-group favoritism, once identity becomes salient. Additionally, we find that those subjects that constitute the minority in the risk-sharing group show adaptive behavior by imitating the perceived norm of the dominant ethnic group. These results suggest that identity is context specific. Particularly, the rather disadvantaged group in the heterogeneous society seems to adapt their behavior to the social environment.
On the Formulation of the Generic Supersymmetric Standard Model (or Supersymmetry without R parity)

Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: The generic supersymmetric version of the Standard Model would have the minimal list of superfields incorporating the Standard Model particles, and a Lagrangian dictated by the Standard Model gauge symmetries. To be phenomenologically viable, soft supersymmetry breaking terms have to be included. In the most popular version of the supersymmetric Standard Model, an {\it ad hoc} discrete symmetry, called R parity, is added in by hand. While there has been a lot of various kinds of R-parity violation studies in the literature, the complete version of supersymmetry without R parity is not popularly appreciated. In this article, we present a pedagogical review of the formulation of this generic supersymmetric Standard Model and give a detailed discussion on the basic conceptual issues involved. Unfortunately, there are quite some confusing, or even plainly wrong, statements on the issues within the literature of R-parity violations. We aim at clarifying these issues here. We will first discuss our formulation, about which readers are urged to read without bias from previous acquired perspectives on the topic. Based on the formulation, we will then address the various issues . In relation to phenomenology, our review here will not go beyond tree-level mass matrices. But we will give a careful discussion of mass matrices of all the matter fields involved. Useful expressions for perturbative diagonalizations of the mass matrices at the phenomenologically interesting limit of corresponds to small neutrino masses are derived. All these expressions are given in the fully generic setting, with information on complex phases of parameters retained. Such expressions have been shown to be useful in the analyses of various phenomenological features.

description: The lack of coherent room-temperature sources in the whole terahertz spectral window (0.3-10 THz) has significantly hampered the growth of scientific and technological applications in this range. Among them, high-precision frequency measurements of molecular transitions play a central role but remain an open challenge. Here, room-temperature generation and detection of continuous-wave, broadly tunable, narrow-linewidth THz radiation are presented, and their application to high-resolution spectroscopy in the broad 1-7.5 THz spectral range is demonstrated. This result has been achieved by implementing a Cherenkov phase-matching scheme into a channel waveguide in a nonlinear crystal. This simple approach, entirely based on robust telecom technology, unprecedently merges in a single source an ultra-broad continuous-wave spectral coverage and a state-of-the-art accuracy (approximately 10-9) in molecular-transition-center determination.

description: Services trade is crucial for growth of labor productivity and total factor productivity. Regional integration is growing the size of markets for trade in services and regional trade in education services promises to be an increasingly critical component of achieving the post-2015 development goals. This paper frames the role of trade in education services to accelerate inclusive economic growth as labor markets become regionalized. African regional integration efforts, growth of trade in education services, and the benefits of these trends are summarized in context of the global shift to a services-based economy. Selected questions for discussion at the Organized Symposium in Milan are included in the conclusions of this pre-conference paper.

description: This is a new version of the paper, which uses the same methods as in the previous version, but the model is now different. We study two complex scalar fields coupled through a quadratic interaction in 2+1 dimensions. We use the method of bilinears as suggested by Rajeev. The resulting classical theory is studied within the linear approximation and we show that there is a possible bound state for the composite type particles for a range of coupling constant strengths.

description: With a Yang-Mills field, stratified shear flow initial state and a high resolution (3+1)D Particle-in-Cell Relativistic (PICR) hydrodynamic model, we calculate the $Λ$ polarization for peripheral Au+Au collisions at RHIC energy of $\sqrt{S_{NN}}=200$ GeV. The obtained longitudinal polarization in our model agrees with the experimental signature and the quadrupole structure on transverse momentum plane. It is found that the relativistic correction (2nd term), arising from expansion and from the time component of the thermal vorticity, plays a crucial role in our results. This term is changing the signature and exceeds the first term, arising from the classical vorticity. Finally, the global polarization in our model shows no significant dependence on rapidity, which agrees with the experimental data. It is also found that the second term flattens the sharp peak arising from the classical vorticity (1st term).

In both cases, we implement a Sudakov resummation of the large logarithms generated by soft-gluon emissions, which is essential in order to describe the transverse momentum distribution of forward $Z^0$ bosons measured at the Tevatron and the LHC. We further compute the nuclear modification factor in the dilute-dense framework, hoping to single out signals of saturation effects at small values of $x$. Our predictions are compared with those obtained in the collinear factorization framework, using two different nuclear parton distribution functions.

description: We experimentally study lateral electron transport between two 5~$μ$m spaced superconducting indium leads on a top of magnetic Weyl semimetal Co$_3$Sn$_2$S$_2$. For the disordered magnetic state of Co$_3$Sn$_2$S$_2$ crystal, we only observe the Andreev reflection in the proximity of each of the leads, which is indicative of highly transparent In-Co$_3$Sn$_2$S$_2$ interfaces. If the sample is homogeneously magnetized, it demonstrates well-developed anomalous Hall effect state. In this regime we find the Josephson current that takes place even for 5~$μ$m long junctions and shows the unusual magnetic field and temperature dependencies. As a possible reason for the results obtained, we discuss the contribution to the proximity-induced spin-triplet Josephson current from the topologically protected Fermi-arc states on the surface of Co$_3$Sn$_2$S$_2$.

description: The rural labour force in developing countries has been growing rapidly, but employment opportunities are not keeping pace. Hence, nonfarm employment must expand if deepening rural poverty is to be avoided. This is even more important for resettled households who are faced by numerous challenges in adapting to new environments which causes major changes in their livelihood activities. The probability of a households decision to participate in the nonfarm sector in a conflict based resettlement scheme is influenced by age, possession of a technical skill, number of dependents, size of cultivated land, wealth and time taken to walk to a water source. This paper recommends incorporating vocational training centers in resettlement schemes, promotion of primary production as a foundation for wealth creation and incorporating good water supply so as to reduce the time taken to walk to a water source.

description: To establish the presence and orientation of the proposed striped phase in ultra-high mobility 2D electron systems at filling factor 9/2, current path transport properties are determined by varying the separation and allignment of current and voltage contacts. Contacts alligned orthogonal to the proposed intrinsic striped phase produce voltages consistent with current spreading along the stripes; current driven along the proposed stripe direction results in voltages consistent with channeling along the stripes. Direct comparison is made to current spreading/channeling properties of artificially induced 1D charge modulated systems, which indicates the 9/2 direction.

description: Introduction: Inhibitors of programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) and its ligands are producing a paradigm shift in cancer treatment. The promising clinical outcomes and a multi-billion dollar market have prompted active research and development and resulted in relentless patent protection. However, the global patent landscape in this field remains unclear. Areas covered: The patent landscape encompassing global patenting activities and developing trends in the field is discussed based on a data set of 1287 patent families. Patenting activities have expanded rapidly in the past three years. Specific trends in relevant aspects are presented, including patent filing countries, patent ownership, co-patents, technical areas, and technological connections in terms of patent citation relationships. Expert opinion: Together with patenting momentum in recent years, fragmented ownership and dense technological connections of PD-1-related inventions raise the possibility of a patent thicket. The explosion of patent applications and complex citation relationships could also lead to considerable patent conflicts and disputes on overlapping intellectual property rights, in addition to existing legal uncertainties. Patent applicants in this field are encouraged to be aware of these concerns when developing valid patent strategies.

C 88, 041305(R) (2013)] reported large fluctuations of the total $γ$-decay widths in the $^{95}$Mo$(n,γ)^{96}$Mo* reaction, contrary to this expectation. Furthermore, in recent theoretical works it was argued that sufficiently strong channel couplings can cause deviations of the partial width distributions from PTD. Here, we investigate whether the combined influence of a large number of nonequivalent $γ$-decay channels, each of which couples weakly to the compound-nucleus resonances, can modify the statistics of the partial widths. We study this effect in neutron scattering off $^{95}$Mo within a random-matrix model that includes coupling to the entrance neutron channel and to the large number of $γ$ channels. Using realistic coupling parameters obtained from empirical models for the level density and the $γ$ strength function, we find that the PTD describes well the distribution of partial widths for all decay channels, in agreement with the statistical-model expectation. Furthermore, we find that the width of the distribution of the total $γ$-decay widths is insensitive to wide variations in the parameters of the $γ$ strength function, as well as to deviations of the partial-width distributions from the PTD. Our results rule out an explanation of the recent experimental data within a statistical-model description of the compound nucleus.

description: We report on the formation process of skyrmion lattice (SkL) domain boundaries in FeGe using Lorentz transmission electron microscopy and small-angle electron diffraction. We observed that grain boundaries and edges play an important role in the formation of SkL domain boundaries; The SkL domain boundary is stabilized at the intersection of two grains. A micromagnetic simulation using the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation revealed that the SkL domains separated by a boundary represent the lowest energy configuration. Conversely, in a wide area, SkL domain boundaries were not formed and SkL domains with different orientations rotated to form a single SkL domain.

description: Aims: Cold agglutinin disease (CAD) is a rare subtype of autoimmune hemolytic anemia associated with increased thromboembolism risk and early mortality. Healthcare resource utilization (HRU) in CAD has not been reported. We aimed to compare HRU of patients with CAD with a matched non-CAD cohort in the United States. Materials and methods: Patients with CAD were identified from 2006 to 2016 in the Optum-Humedica database using CAD terms in clinical notes and hematologist review. Patients were required to have Integrated Delivery Network records and ≥6 months’ follow-up before and after the first CAD mention date (index date). Patients with CAD were matched to a non-CAD cohort based on demographics. Multivariate analyses assessed inpatient hospitalizations, outpatient visits, emergency room visits, and transfusion use between cohorts 6 months before and 12 months after the index date. Results: Of 814 patients with CAD, 410 met inclusion criteria and were matched to 3,390 patients without CAD. Mean age of patients with CAD was 68.0 years; approximately 62% were female. In the 12 months after the index date, mean inpatient hospitalizations (0.83 vs. 0.25), outpatient visits (17.26 vs. 6.77), emergency room visits (0.55 vs. 0.32), and transfusion days (1.05 vs. 0.05) were higher for patients with CAD than the matched non-CAD cohort (all p < .0001). Similarly, in the 6 months before the index date, patients with CAD had higher HRU than matched patients without CAD for all measures evaluated. Limitations: Results of this study are based on patient information from the Optum-Humedica database, which is limited to commercially insured patients and may not represent the overall CAD population. Conclusions: CAD places a substantial burden on patients and healthcare systems. In addition, the high HRU for patients with CAD observed in the 6 months before diagnosis indicates that disease awareness and better diagnostic practices may be needed.

description: Trade between China and Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is characterized by China’s importing mining and extraction from SSA and SSA’s importing manufactured goods from China. We perform accounting and simulation exercises to analyze how trade policy and productivity shocks will reduce SSA's dependency on raw material export to China. Scenarios include tariff elimination by China, common external tariff in SSA, and free regional trade in SSA. We also include shifts in labour productivity in SSA’s agriculture and manufacturing sectors and simulate technology spillover from SSA imports from China. Results show that tariff elimination by China increases SSA’s employment and welfare. Raising tariffs on manufactured goods from China reduces welfare and employment by harming consumers and the agriculture sectors dependent on intermediate goods from China. Increase in labour productivity and technical progress in SSA’s manufacturing sectors improve welfare but will not alter the high share of mining and extraction export to China.

description: Selectrons may be studied in both e-e- and e+e- collisions at future linear colliders. Relative to e+e-, the e-e- mode benefits from negligible backgrounds and βthreshold behavior for identical selectron pair production, but suffers from luminosity degradation and increased initial state radiation and beamstrahlung. We include all of these effects and compare the potential for selectron mass measurements in the two modes. The virtues of the e-e- collider far outweigh its disadvantages. In particular, the selectron mass may be measured to 100 MeV with a total integrated luminosity of 1 fb^-1, while more than 100 fb^-1 is required in e+e- collisions for similar precision.

description: Automatic service composition in mobile and pervasive computing faces many challenges due to the complex nature of the environment. Common approaches address service composition from optimization perspectives which are not feasible in practice due to the intractability of the problem, limited computational resources of smart devices, service host's mobility, and time constraints. Our main contribution is the development of a cognitively-inspired agent-based service composition model focused on bounded rationality rather than optimality, which allows the system to compensate for limited resources by selectively filtering out continuous streams of data. The evaluation of our approach shows promising results when compared against state-of-the-art service composition models.

description: Privacy is an important facet of defence against adversaries. In this letter, we introduce the problem of private flocking. We consider a team of mobile robots flocking in the presence of an adversary, who is able to observe all robots' trajectories, and who is interested in identifying the leader. We present a method that generates private flocking controllers that hide the identity of the leader robot. Our approach towards privacy leverages a data-driven adversarial co-optimization scheme. We design a mechanism that optimizes flocking control parameters, such that leader inference is hindered. As the flocking performance improves, we successively train an adversarial discriminator that tries to infer the identity of the leader robot. To evaluate the performance of our co-optimization scheme, we investigate different classes of reference trajectories. Although it is reasonable to assume that there is an inherent trade-off between flocking performance and privacy, our results demonstrate that we are able to achieve high flocking performance and simultaneously reduce the risk of revealing the leader.

Cosmic Microwave Background constraints on non-minimal couplings in inflationary models with power law potentials

description: Inflationary models with power-law potentials are starting to be severely constrained by the recent measurements of Cosmic Microwave Background anisotropies provided by the Planck Satellite and by the BICEP2 telescope. In particular, models with power-law potentials $V(φ)\propto φ^n$ with $n \ge 2$ are strongly disfavored by present data since they predict a sizable contribution of gravitational waves with a tensor/scalar ratio of $r\sim0.15$ that is at odds with current limits. A non-minimal coupling to gravity has been proposed as a physical mechanism to lower the predictions for $r$. In this paper we further investigate the issue, presenting constraints on non-minimal couplings from current CMB data under the assumption of power-law potentials. We found that models with $n>2$ show a statistically significant indication (above $95 \%$ C.L.) for a non minimal coupling. Non minimal coupling is also preferred by models with $n<2$ albeit just at about $68 \%$ C.L.. Interestingly, all the models considered show a non-zero running of the spectral index, $ n_{\rm run}$, consistent with the 2018 Planck release value of $-0.007 \pm 0.0068$. We point out how future accurate measurement of $ n_{\rm run}$ would be necessary to significantly constraint these models and eventually rule out some or all of them. The combination of Planck data with the Bicep/Keck dataset strengthen these considerations.

description: Using the toroidal compactification of string theory on n-dimensional tori, Tn, we investigate dyonic objects in arbitrary dimensions. First, we present a class of dyonic black solutions formed by two different D-branes using a correspondence between toroidal cycles and objects possessing both magnetic and electric charges, belonging to %%%% dyonic gauge symmetry. This symmetry could be associated with electrically charged magnetic monopole solutions in stringy model buildings of the standard model extensions. Then, we consider in some details such black hole classes obtained from even dimensional toroidal compactifications, and we find that they are linked to Cl(n) Clifford algebras using the vee product. It is believed that this analysis could be extended to dyonic objects which can be obtained from local Calabi-Yau manifold compactifications.
