description: Positive functions of farmers’ specialized cooperative economic organizations were emphasized, i.e. increasing farmers’ incomes, promoting the industrialization of agriculture, optimizing agricultural structure, enhancing the standardization of agricultural production and improving service means provided by government for agriculture. On the basis of investigating the current situation of farmers’ specialized cooperative economic organizations in tropical areas, the problems in the development process of these organizations were analyzed, which mainly included following aspects: ① Narrow coverage; ② Irregular and imperfect operation mechanism; ③ Insufficient effective policy support. Therefore, in view of these existing problems, the thoughts and countermeasures were put forward to promote the future development of farmers’ specialized cooperative economic organizations in tropical areas. Firstly, supportive policies should be enhanced by government; secondly, guidance work should be done positively; thirdly, demonstration and promotion role should be played fully; finally, farmers’ education and training in tropical areas should be paid more attention, which is of great significance in promoting the modernization of agriculture in tropical areas.

description: Firstly, the basic core of judgment and analysis on the success and failure of modern sericultural industry development is introduced. The cocoon silk is the original reference to judge the success and failure of modern sericultural industry development. And the cocoon weight of per unit mulberry is the core index to judge the comprehensive production efficiency and the success or failure of sericultural industry, while the consistence between characteristics of decision index and production technology is the main way to judge the success or failure of sericultural industry. Secondly, the new characteristics of modern sericultural industry development and change have been analyzed. The primitive consciousness and basic goal of modern sericultural industry production show diversification, so the original reference of judgment is not single. The new development orientation of modern sericultural industry is production systems, besides, the effect of rural labor force becomes more important, becomes the main factor which restricts the sustainable development of modern sericultural industry, and then the new features of judgment index system are explored. ① Allosteric characteristics of main index system. The production efficiency of rural unit labor is the main basis for judging the success or failure of modern sericulture industry development. ②Index property of production technical system. The research and developing direction of new technology change with the change of production system, besides, the simple silkworm rearing technique is adopted. The sericulture production is changed from dispersed development to intensivism development. ③The index property of quality management system. The quality index of production of silkworm egg has limitation, so producing high quality cocoon is the basic purpose of modern sericultural industry production. The quality regulation and guidance are implemented in production process, besides; the fair transaction mode of cocoon is established.④ Index property of operation and regulation system. Giving suitable amount silkworm eggs is the basic requirements of regulation and control operation, so popularize use good cocooning frames is an important link. ⑤Index property of market interest system. The leading market with stable steady revenue should be created and the characteristic products should be produced to obtain high market returns.

description: Honey production and trade in the world are introduced. Total output of honey shows an increasing trend while the output of Chinese honey always ranks the first in the world. China, Argentina, Mexico are the major exporters of honey. In the year 2006, honey exports of China, Argentina and Mexico occupy 49.9% of the world's total export volume. International competitiveness of the three honey export countries are calculated, compared and analyzed by adopting the indices such as export price, international market share, and Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) index. Result shows that honey price of Mexico is significantly higher than the world’s average level, that of Argentine is close to the world’s average price, and that of China is a more stable price far below the world level. Thus, Chinese honey has significant competitive advantage. According to the international market share, after entering of 21st century, honey export of China has occupied a relatively large percentage of the world’s export but shows a downward trend; Argentina has increased rapidly along with the enhancement of market share; while honey export of Mexico has no obvious advantages in market share. According to the RCA index, honey exports are bigger than 1 in China, Argentina and Mexico, indicating that the three countries have competitive advantages in honey exports. Among them, Argentina has significantly bigger index than Mexico and China. Affected by international trade barriers, competitive advantage of China is relatively the weakest. Based on this, corresponding suggestions are put forward: protect and consolidate the advantages of traditional market and implement a diversified export strategy; improve the honey production, supply, and marketing models of honey, and change the pursuit for short-term interests and quantity growth; and adopt various measures to cope with international trade barriers.

description: We study the characteristic function and moments of the integer-valued random variable $\lfloor X+α\rfloor$, where $X$ is a continuous random variables. The results can be regarded as exact versions of Sheppard's correction. Rounded variables of this type often occur as subsequence limits of sequences of integer-valued random variables. This leads to oscillatory terms in asymptotics for these variables, something that has often been observed, for example in the analysis of several algorithms. We give some examples, including applications to tries, digital search trees and Patricia tries.

description: Zero-field muon-spin-relaxation measurements have been carried out in order to investigate the Zn- and Ni-substitution effects on the Cu-spin dynamics in the electron-doped Pr_0.86_LaCe_0.14_Cu_1-y_(Zn, Ni)_y_O_4+\alpa-δ_ with y = 0, 0.01, 0.02, 0.05 and different values of the reduced oxygen content δ(δ\le 0.09). For the samples with y = 0 and very small δvalues of δ< 0.01, a muon-spin precession due to the formation of a long-range antiferromagnetic order has been observed at low temperatures below \~ 5 K. For the moderately oxygen-reduced samples of 0.01 \le δ\le 0.09, on the contrary, no muon-spin precession has been observed and the temperature dependence of the spectra is similar to one another regardless of the y value. That is, no impurity-induced slowing down of the Cu-spin fluctuations has been detected, which is very different from the results of the hole-doped high-T_c_ cuprates. The reason is discussed.

description: A new formulation of the EPR argument is presented, one which uses John Bell's mathematically precise local causality condition in place of the looser locality assumption which was used in the original EPR paper and on which Niels Bohr seems to have based his objection to the EPR argument. The new formulation of EPR bears a striking resemblance to Bell's derivation of his famous inequalities. The relation between these two arguments -- in particular, the role of EPR as part one of Bell's two-part argument for nonlocality -- is also discussed in detail.

description: Building on large-scale quantum Monte Carlo simulations, we investigate the zero-temperature phase diagram of hard-core bosons in a random potential on site-centered Cayley trees with branching number $K=2$. In order to follow how the Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) is affected by the disorder, we focus on both the zero-momentum density, probing the quantum coherence, and the one-body density matrix (1BDM) whose largest eigenvalue monitors the off-diagonal long-range order. We further study its associated eigenstate which brings useful information about the real-space properties of this leading eigenmode. Upon increasing randomness, we find that the system undergoes a quantum phase transition at finite disorder strength between a long-range ordered BEC state, fully ergodic at large scale, and a new disordered Bose glass regime showing conventional localization for the coherence fraction while the 1BDM displays a non-trivial algebraic vanishing BEC density together with a non-ergodic occupation in real-space. These peculiar properties can be analytically captured by a simple phenomenological description on the Cayley tree which provides a physical picture of the Bose glass regime.

description: The present study deals with the study (design and analysis) of a five-storey building,steel framed structured with underground made of reinforced concrete according to Eurocodes.The building has braced frames in order to reduce the horizontal displacements of the floors. More specifically,we studied the behaviour of the metal building under adverse loadings,which are defined by Eurocode 8 in order to make the building inherently resistant to earthquake.Therefore,designing the model in Sofistik we estimated the necessary sections of columns,beams,stringers required for the static stability of the building. Furtheremore,we examined the same building without braced frames in order to get new sections of columns and beams.The most important difference between the two buildings is that the second one is able to have horizintal displacements. Finally,we studied the seismic behaviour in both buildings and we made the comparison between the two different solutions(chapter six)

description: We propose a method named as double-scanning method, to improve the key rate of measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution (MDI-QKD) drastically. In the method, two parameters are scanned simultaneously to tightly estimate the counts of single-photon pairs and the phase-flip error rate jointly. Numerical results show that the method in this work can improve the key rate by $35\%-280\%$ in a typical experimental set-up. Besides, we study the optimization of MDI-QKD protocol with all parameters including the source parameters and failure probability parameters, over symmetric channel or asymmetric channel. Compared with the optimized results with only the source parameters, the all-parameter-optimization method could improve the key rate by about $10\%$.

description: Based on apprehending the conception of intensive use of woodland, 12 indices are selected from the aspects of economy, society, ecology and so on according to the principles of scientific systematization, collectible index and system inner linkage. A scientific evaluation index system for woodland intensive use is constructed. Range Standardization Method is adopted in order to eliminate the differences among indices; index weight is calculated by the objective variation coefficient weight method. Physio geographic condition, woodland area and forest resource of Wenhe Operating Zone in Yakeshi City, China are introduced. According to the 2004-2008 relevant statistical data, intensive use level of Wenhe Operating Zone is evaluated. Result shows that the intensive use level of this zone shows a general upward trend with relatively fast increase in a particular year, and slight increase in woodland input every year. From the year 2004 to 2005, intensive level of woodland decreases slightly. From 2005 to 2006, intensive level of woodland rises with slight increase in woodland output. From 2006 to 2007, intensive level of woodland rises rapidly with a substantial upward trend in output. From 2007 to 2008, intensive level of woodland declines sharply. Based on this, related countermeasures are put forward for the intensive use of woodland in Wenhe Operating Zone. Firstly, strengthen the input in production factors of forestry, especially the mechanical input, in order to avoid unnecessary waste. Secondly, scientifically evaluate the development potential, breeding mode and planting program of woodland. Conduct a unified plan for market, and develop wildlife breeding properly. Thirdly, scientifically plan the plantation and guarantee the survival rate; increase the post investment in plantation; scientifically plan the logging quota, and ensure a reasonable output and intensive use of wood.

description: Hybrid quantum-classical (HQC) algorithms make it possible to use near-term quantum devices supported by classical computational resources by useful control schemes. In this paper, we develop an HQC algorithm using an efficient variational optimization approach to simulate open system dynamics under the Noisy-Intermediate Scale Quantum(NISQ) computer. Using the time-dependent variational principle (TDVP) method and extending it to McLachlan TDVP for density matrix which involves minimization of Frobenius norm of the error, we apply the unitary quantum circuit to obtain the time evolution of the open quantum system in the Lindblad formalism. Finally, we illustrate the use of our methods with detailed examples which are in good agreement with analytical calculations.

description: The problems of desertification control in China are analyzed from the perspective of ecological compensation. Firstly, there is no guarantee of ecological compensation system in desertification control. On the basis of knowing land desertification connotation, the western region is taken as an example to analyze the serious consequence brought by land desertification, besides, the connotation and importance of ecological compensation are summarized, as well as the views related to resolve the benefit compensation of ecological environment in the world are introduced. The ecological compensation is mainly based on the compensation theory of public goods and the value theory of ecological environment, besides, it emphasizes using tax to realize internalization of resources external benefit. Secondly, lack of current ecological compensation system caused the low enthusiasm of people to take part in land desertification control, besides; the current relevant regulations of ecological benefit compensation in China are introduced. At present, the systematic and complete management method and relevant regulations related to ecological compensation of land desertification control have not been published yet, so the interest of governing subject is hard to be protected and the enthusiasm of controlling land desertification in forest and farm is seriously damaged. Based on this view, it is proposed that the desertification control should closely be combined with local economic development to construct the long-term mechanism for mutually promoting desertification control and economic development. Finally, some suggestions of constructing ecological compensation system in the process of controlling desertification are explored. Firstly, scientific development view is taken as guidance to enhance the strength of ecological compensation legislation; Secondly, the ecological compensation mechanism is carried out approaches innovation; Thirdly, policy innovation of ecological compensation mechanism is realized; Fourthly, the law of China for desert defense and control is modified and the concrete regulations of ecological compensation is added to make the legalization and embodiment of encouraging measures for land desertification control.

description: We demonstrate, for the first time, that a quantum flux parametron (QFP) is capable of acting as both isolator and amplifier in the readout circuit of a capacitively shunted flux qubit (CSFQ). By treating the QFP like a tunable coupler and biasing it such that the coupling is off, we show that $T_1$ of the CSFQ is not impacted by Purcell loss from its low-Q readout resonator ($Q_e = 760$) despite being detuned by only $40$ MHz. When annealed, the QFP amplifies the qubit's persistent current signal such that it generates a flux qubit-state-dependent frequency shift of $85$ MHz in the readout resonator, which is over $9$ times its linewidth. The device is shown to read out a flux qubit in the persistent current basis with fidelities surpassing $98.6\%$ with only $80$ ns integration, and reaches fidelities of $99.6\%$ when integrated for $1$ $μ$s. This combination of speed and isolation is critical to the readout of high-coherence quantum annealers.

description: Mid-infrared observations of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are important for understanding of the physical conditions around the central accretion engines. Chandra and XMM-Newton X-ray observations of a 300 arcmin^2 region in the Extended Groth Strip are used to select a sample of~150 AGN. The Spitzer instruments IRAC and MIPS detect 68-80% of these sources, which show a wide range of mid-infrared properties. About 40% of the sources have red power-law spectral energy distributions (f_nu ~ nu^alpha, alpha<0) in the 3.6-8 um IRAC bands. In these sources the central engine dominates the emission at both X-ray and IR wavelengths. Another 40% of the sources have blue mid-IR spectral energy distributions (alpha>0) with their infrared emission dominated by the host galaxy; the remaining 20% are not well-fit by a power law. Published IRAC color criteria for AGN select most of the red sources, but only some of the blue sources. As with all other known methods, selecting AGN with mid-IR colors will not produce a sample that is simultaneously complete and reliable. The IRAC SED type does not directly correspond to X-ray spectral type (hard/soft). The mid-IR properties of X-ray-detected Lyman-break, radio, submillimeter, and optically-faint sources vary widely and, for the most part, are not distinct from those of the general X-ray/infrared source population. X-ray sources emit 6-11% of the integrated mid--IR light, making them significant contributors to the cosmic infrared background.

description: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) applications like ultra-widefield and full eye-length imaging are of high interest for various diagnostic purposes. In swept-source OCT these techniques require a swept light source, which is coherent over the whole imaging depth. We present a zero roll-off 1060 nm Fourier Domain Mode Locked-Laser (FDML-Laser) for retinal OCT imaging at 1.7 MHz A-scan rate and first long-range imaging results with it. Several steps such as improved dispersion compensation and frequency regulation were performed and will be discussed. Besides virtually no loss in OCT signal over the maximum depth range of 4.6 mm and very good dynamic range was observed. Roll-off measurements show no decrease of the point-spread function (PSF), while maintaining a high dynamic range.

description: This paper reviews current trade-related regulations of genetically modified (GM) food and discusses their effects on developing countries. There is a large heterogeneity in current import approval and marketing policies of GM food worldwide. At the international level, the harmonization efforts are led by the Codex Alimentarius Commission, the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety and the World Trade Organization. While internationally harmonized guidelines for safety approval have been finalized, we show that there is no clear consensus on labeling regulations for GM food, and there is an increasing risk of conflicts among international agreements. We analyze the GM food regulations of two large rich importers, Japan and the European Union (EU) and discuss their differences and their potential impact on international trade. We also show that the effects of international and domestic trade related regulations critically depend on the type of traded products and their intended use: food and unprocessed products are subject to more stringent regulations than animal feed and processed products. Finally, we identify the main spillover effects of national and international regulations on developing countries’ policy making, and suggest four policy arrangements on GM food to enable developing countries to satisfy production, consumption, international trade, and risk management objectives simultaneously while complying with their international obligations.
Artificial Intelligence and Systems Theory: Applied to Cooperative Robots

description: This paper describes an approach to the design of a population of cooperative robots based on concepts borrowed from Systems Theory and Artificial Intelligence. The research has been developed under the SocRob project, carried out by the Intelligent Systems Laboratory at the Institute for Systems and Robotics - Instituto Superior Tecnico (ISR/IST) in Lisbon. The acronym of the project stands both for "Society of Robots" and "Soccer Robots", the case study where we are testing our population of robots. Designing soccer robots is a very challenging problem, where the robots must act not only to shoot a ball towards the goal, but also to detect and avoid static (walls, stopped robots) and dynamic (moving robots) obstacles. Furthermore, they must cooperate to defeat an opposing team. Our past and current research in soccer robotics includes cooperative sensor fusion for world modeling, object recognition and tracking, robot navigation, multi-robot distributed task planning and coordination, including cooperative reinforcement learning in cooperative and adversarial environments, and behavior-based architectures for real time task execution of cooperating robot teams.

description: The normal-normal hierarchical model (NNHM) constitutes a simple and widely used framework for meta-analysis. In the common case of only few studies contributing to the meta-analysis, standard approaches to inference tend to perform poorly, and Bayesian meta-analysis has been suggested as a potential solution. The Bayesian approach, however, requires the sensible specification of prior distributions. While non-informative priors are commonly used for the overall mean effect, the use of weakly informative priors has been suggested for the heterogeneity parameter, in particular in the setting of (very) few studies. To date, however, a consensus on how to generally specify a weakly informative heterogeneity prior is lacking. Here we investigate the problem more closely and provide some guidance on prior specification.

description: Abstract: Mathematics and art have long been intertwined, with geometry, symmetry, and proportions shaping the foundation of visual aesthetics. This paper explores the concept of mathematical art, particularly through the lens of topological structures, such as the Möbius strip, Klein bottle, and trefoil knot. These mathematical forms not only possess intriguing properties but also provide aesthetic inspiration for digital and physical artistic representations.The author acknowledges the use of OpenAI’s language model for assistance in drafting certain sections of this workl

description: The 10-100 keV region of the electromagnetic spectrum contains the potential for a dramatic improvement in our understanding of a number of key problems in high energy astrophysics. A deep inspection of the universe in this band is on the other hand still lacking because of the demanding sensitivity (fraction of microCrab in the 20-40 keV for 1 Ms integration time) and imaging (~15" angular resolution) requirements. The mission ideas currently being proposed are based on long focal length, grazing incidence, multi-layer optics, coupled with focal plane detectors with few hundreds microns spatial resolution capability. The required large focal lengths, ranging between 8 and 50 m, can be realized by means of extendable optical benches (as foreseen e.g. for the HEXIT-SAT, NEXT and NuSTAR missions) or formation flight scenarios (e.g. Simbol-X and XEUS). While the final telescope design will require a detailed trade-off analysis between all the relevant parameters (focal length, plate scale value, angular resolution, field of view, detector size, and sensitivity degradation due to detector dead area and telescope vignetting), extreme attention must be dedicated to the background minimization. In this respect, key issues are represented by the passive baffling system, which in case of large focal lengths requires particular design assessments, and by the active/passive shielding geometries and materials. In this work, the result of a study of the expected background for a hard X-ray telescope is presented, and its implication on the required sensitivity, together with the possible implementation design concepts for active and passive shielding in the framework of future satellite missions, are discussed.

description: Observations at millimetre wavelengths provide a valuable tool to study the small scale dynamics in the solar chromosphere. We evaluate the physical conditions of the atmosphere in the presence of a propagating shock wave and link that to the observable signatures in mm-wavelength radiation, providing valuable insights into the underlying physics of mm-wavelength observations. A realistic numerical simulation from the 3D radiative Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) code Bifrost is used to interpret changes in the atmosphere caused by shock wave propagation. High-cadence (1 s) time series of brightness temperature (T$_\text{b}$) maps are calculated with the Advanced Radiative Transfer (ART) code at the wavelengths $1.309$ mm and $1.204$ mm, which represents opposite sides of spectral band~$6$ of the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). An example of shock wave propagation is presented. The brightness temperatures show a strong shock wave signature with large variation in formation height between $\sim0.7$ to $1.4$ Mm. The results demonstrate that millimetre brightness temperatures efficiently track upwardly propagating shock waves in the middle chromosphere. In addition, we show that the gradient of the brightness temperature between wavelengths within ALMA band $6$ can potentially be utilised as a diagnostics tool in understanding the small-scale dynamics at the sampled layers.
