description: This policy brief is about access and use of credit in Uganda by small holder farmers. The brief uses the secondary data to shed light on the extent of the problem and further uses successful case studies in agricultural financing to demonstrate how improvements can be achieved. The major problem established from available information is that despite several agricultural financing initiatives and other reforms in the financial sector in the last 20 years, access to credit by small holder farmers in Uganda has remained very low in the region of about 10 percent. Examining the several agricultural financing initiatives since 1990s tends to suggest that the problem could largely be attributed to weak institutional framework and policy inconsistency on agricultural financing over the years, notwithstanding household demand factors. The key policy recommendation drawn from this assessment is that if agricultural financing is to improve, there is need to have strong institutional framework that focuses on financing frameworks, monitoring and implementation. A better option is for government to support the establishment of a rural or agricultural development bank that prioritises agricultural financing.

description: The analysis of the 2009 Uganda National panel Survey (UNPS) collected by the UBoS shows that milk production from smallholder farm units was 1 billion litres, and about 52 percent (524 million litres) joined the second level of the milk value chain – and of which 72 percent was marketed in unprocessed form to consumers. High informality in milk marketing can be reduced by supporting strong primary dairy farmers’ cooperative societies with capacity to invest in processing of scale neutral dairy products (yoghurts, ghee and cheese), at the same time hold strong bargaining power with large milk processing companies. This would allow the deeper participation of farmers (as groups) in the down-stream milk value chain, and enable having the right price incentives to draw more raw milk into the formal stream of the milk value chain. This would foster equitable spread of benefits and opportunities from the growing domestic demand for milk and other dairy products at all levels of the milk value chain.

description: We present mid-infrared photometry and measured global properties of the 100 largest galaxies in the sky, including the Magellanic Clouds, Local Group galaxies M31 and M33, the Fornax and Virgo Galaxy Cluster giants, and many of the most spectacular Messier objects (e.g., M51 and M83). This is the first release of a larger catalog of extended sources as imaged in the mid-infrared, called the WISE Extended Source Catalogue (WXSC). In this study we measure their global attributes, including integrated flux, surface brightness and radial distribution. The largest of the large are the LMC, SMC and the Andromeda Galaxy, which are also the brightest mid-infrared galaxies in the sky. We interrogate the large galaxies using WISE colors, which serve as proxies for four general types of galaxies: bulge-dominated spheroidals, intermediate semi-quiescent disks, star-forming spirals, and AGN-dominated. The colors reveal a tight "sequence" that spans 5 magnitudes in W2-W3 color, ranging from early to late-types, and low to high star-forming activity; we fit the functional form given by: ${\rm (W1-W2)} = [0.015 \times {\rm e}^{ \frac{\rm (W2-W3)}{1.38} }] - 0.08$. Departures from this sequence may reveal nuclear, starburst, and merging events. Physical properties and luminosity attributes are computed, notably the diameter, aggregate stellar mass and the dust-obscured star formation activity. We introduce the 'pinwheel' diagram which depicts physical properties with respect to the median value observed for WISE galaxies in the local universe. Utilized with the WXSC, this diagram will delineate between different kinds of galaxies, identifying those with similar star formation and structural properties. Finally, we present the mid-infrared photometry of the 25 brightest globular clusters in the sky, including Omega Centauri, 47 Tucanae and a number of famed night-sky targets (e.g. M 13). (Abridged)

Age dependence of the Vega Phenomenon: Theory

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: In a separate paper (Decin et al 2003), we have re-examined the observations of IR excess obtained with the ISO satellite and discussed the ages of stars with excess. The amount of dust (measured by the luminosity fraction \fdust=L_\mathrm{IR}/L_{\star}) seen around main-sequence stars of different ages shows several interesting trends. To discuss these results in the context of a physical model, we develop in this paper an analytical model for the dust production in Vega-type systems. Previously it has been claimed that a powerlaw slope of about -2 in the diagram plotting amount of dust versus time could be explained by a simple collisional cascade. We show that such a cascade in fact results in a powerlaw \fdust\propto t^{-1} if the dust removal processes are dominated by collisions. A powerlaw \fdust\propto t^{-2} only results when the dust removal processes become dominated by Pointing-Robertson drag. This may be the case in the Kuiper Belt of our own solar system, but it is certainly not the case in any of the observed disks. A steeper slope can, however, be created by including continuous stirring into the models. We show that the existence of both young and old Vega-like systems with large amounts of dust (\fdust\simeq 10^{-3}) can be explained qualitatively by Kuiper-Belt-like structures with \emph{delayed stirring}. Finally, the absence of young stars with intermediate amounts of dust may be due to the fact that stirring due to planet formation may not be active in young low-mass disks. The considerations in this paper support the picture of simultaneous stirring and dust production proposed by Kenyon and Bromley (2002).

description: The dairy sector in Uganda has been transformed into a more competitive and dynamic sector. Supply-side factors have enabled expansion in milk production. Between 2005 and 2009 –milk production (estimated at 1.5 billion litres in 2010) has been partly an outcome of a 20 percent increase in the number of households engaged in dairy farming, and an increase (21 percent) in the proportion of crossbred dairy cows in the national herd (estimated to be 11 million cattle). At farm level concerted efforts have been directed towards technological change – transforming the farming system from predominantly extensive grazing local breeds to more intensive rearing of fewer but improved breeds. The lack of consistent long-term support to the breeding programs negatively affect numbers of dairy cattle stocks especially in Northern Uganda. Furthermore, the perpetually low farm gate milk prices could deter the optimal uptake of required dairy farm husbandry practices in the milk surplus Western region.

description: Contrary to the usual assumption of at least partial control of quantum dynamics, a surprising recent result proved that an arbitrary quantum state can be probabilistically reset to a state in the past by having it interact with probing systems in a consistent, but $uncontrolled$ way. We present a photonic implementation to achieve this resetting process, experimentally verifying that a state can be probabilistically reset to its past with a fidelity of $0.870\pm0.012$. We further demonstrate the preservation of an entangled state, which still violates a Bell inequality, after half of the entangled pair was reset. The ability to reset uncontrolled quantum states has implications in the foundations of quantum physics and applications in areas of quantum technology.

description: In lithium-ion batteries (LiBs), electrolyte plays an essential role in leading the performance of the cell. Room-temperature (RT) ionic liquids (ILs) are currently the utmost attractive research in the area of LiBs, owing to their intrinsic properties, like low volatility, non-flammability, good thermal stability, and electrochemically stable. In this present study, we report the electrochemical characterization of neat organic, neat ILs, and mixture of organic-ILs (1-Methyl-1-propylpyrrolidinum Bis (Trifluoromethanesulfonyl) Imide (MPPY+TFSI-)). An extensive molarity range has been examined to identify lithium transference numbers (LI-T) associated with symmetrical Li | electrolyte | Li cell. The safety test was performed using symmetrical Li | electrolyte | Li cell for prepared electrolytes.

description: We report a new analytical method for exact solution of homogeneous linear ordinary differential equations with arbitrary order and variable coefficients. The method is based on the definition of jump transfer matrices and their extension into limiting differential form. The approach reduces the $n$th-order differential equation to a system of $n$ linear differential equations with unity order. The full analytical solution is then found by the perturbation technique. The important feature of the presented method is that it deals with the evolution of independent solutions, rather than its derivatives. We prove the validity of method by direct substitution of the solution in the original differential equation. We discuss the general properties of differential transfer matrices and present several analytical examples, showing the applicability of the method. We show that the Abel-Liouville-Ostogradski theorem can be easily recovered through this approach.

description: We report the identification of possible extended star debris candidates beyond the cluster tidal radius of NGC 6362 based on the second {\it Gaia} data release ({\it Gaia} DR2). We found 259 objects possibly associated with the cluster lying in the vicinity of the giant branch and 1--2 magnitudes fainter/brighter than the main-sequence turn-off in the cluster color-magnitude diagram and which cover an area on the sky of $\sim$4.1 deg$^{2}$ centered on the cluster. We traced back the orbit of NGC 6362 in a realistic Milky-Way potential, using the \texttt{GravPot16} package, for 3 Gyrs. The orbit shows that the cluster shares similar orbital properties as the inner disk, having peri-/apo-galactic distances, and maximum vertical excursion from the Galactic plane inside the corotation radius (CR), moving inwards from CR radius to visit the inner regions of the Milky Way. The dynamical history of the cluster reveals that it has crossed the Galactic disk several times in its lifetime and has recently undergone a gravitational shock, $\sim 15.9$ Myr ago, suggesting that less than 0.1\% of its mass has been lost during the current disk-shocking event. Based on the cluster's orbit and position in the Galaxy, we conclude that the possible extended star debris candidates are a combined effect of the shocks from the Galactic disk and evaporation from the cluster. Lastly, the evolution of the vertical component of the angular momentum shows that the cluster is strongly affected dynamically by the Galactic bar potential.

description: When one considers cat conservation or wild cats in general, it is likely that an image of a lion, tiger, or leopard will come to mind. But in reality, there are 37 species of cats and of these, only 6 species are considered “large” cats (Sanderson & Watson, 2011). That leaves 30 species of “small” cats that receive little public attention, and in many cases are much more critically endangered. But why is this? Have the zoo-going public been better educated to the conservation needs and efforts of large wild cat species or small wild cat species? During the months of September through November, 2012 zoo guests at the Cosley Zoo in Wheaton, Illinois were surveyed on a number of issues, including factors that directly relate to this question. The results of the survey showed that zoo guests not only displayed a greater knowledge of large wild cats than small wild cats, but that they were also more familiar with non-native wild cats than they were with the wild cat species that could be found in their own backyards.

description: The privatization of veterinary extension services delivery in Uganda opened more opportunities for the private sector in the provision of extension services and supply of essential inputs demanded by a growing and more dynamic dairy sector. Consequently, the number of agents profoundly increased – and the markets became flooded with new and untested inputs (from the unregulated private sector). One big setback emerging – relates to the growing efficacy doubts and negative experiences (including losing money or animals) associated with use of inputs on the market, contributing to non-adoption of essential inputs. Selective adoption of essential inputs in dairy farming is also wide spread. The way forward requires impartation of proper and recommended skills in livestock husbandry practices. This will entail building new information dissemination networks by strengthening the capacity to channel veterinary extension support services via farmer groups centred information delivery institutions (co-operatives) - where dairy farmers can easily pick demonstrated evidence on the efficacy of the inputs available on the market from trusted fellow farmers.

Bears: Gauging the Need for Community Education Programs

subject: FOS: Earth and related environmental sciences

description: Conservation initiatives for large predators such as bears have a strong community engagement component. To minimize the risk that encounters pose to both humans and animals, it is essential that communities existing near predator territories be thoroughly educated about safety behaviors. In many American states, including Illinois, bears are not currently native. However, due to the recent rise in roaming animals from neighboring states, a need for educational programs is becoming increasingly apparent. During the month of June 2015, two separate research surveys were distributed to the public: one version to Illinois residents only; the other version to “bear country” residents, who live in bear-populated areas in North America. The purpose of these surveys was to measure reported fear of bear conflict and exposure to educational/management programs. The results of the data analysis showed an inverse correlation between attendance of community educational programs and self-reported reported fear of bears. These findings indicate that properly delivered community safety programs and educational literature can have a statistically significant impact on reduction of fear in the population. They also provide encouragement for the importance of developing such programs as an integral first step in creating bear-safe communities.

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.

Particle density in zero temperature symmetry restoring phase transitions in four-fermion interaction models

Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: By means of critical behaviors of the dynamical fermion mass in four-fermion interaction models, we have shown by explicit calculations that when T=0 the particle density will have a discontinuous jumping across the critical chemical potential $μ_c$ in 2D and 3D Gross-Neveu (GN) model and these physically explain the first order feature of corresponding symmetry restoring phase transitions. For second order phase transitions in 3D GN model when $T\to 0$ and in 4D Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model when T=0, it has been proven that the particle density itself will be continuous across $μ_c$ but its derivative over the chemical potential $μ$ will have a discontinuous jumping. The results give a physical explanation of implications of the tricritical point $(T,μ)=(0,μ_c)$ in 3D GN model. The discussions also show effectiveness of the critical analysis approach of phase transitions.

description: This study is an application of CVM to a specific area in Brazil, the Corumbatai river basin, in the state of Sao Paulo, aiming to estimate the value attached by affected people to a hypothetical riparian forest restoration project. The method used was the double bounded dichotomous choice under a logit model. Data were obtained by street-intercept interviews with a net sample of 930 individuals, 20 years or older, living in seven municipalities (cities and respective rural areas) that contain the basin. Protest bid responses were not excluded in a first approximation, resulting in a R$ 2.06 mean willingness to pay (WTP) for the riparian forest restoration, equivalent to approximately R$ 274,000 per month (R$ 1.00 equivalent to US$ 0.52 at the survey period) when accounting for about 133,000 residences in the area. It was observed an expressive number of “no-no” responses from people ascribing the problem to government and farmers and suspecting on misuse of funds by the official agencies involved..... Para este estudo, foi aplicado o CVM (Contingent Valuation Method) a uma área específica do Brasil, a bacia do rio Corumbataí, no estado de São Paulo, visando estimar o valor atribuído pela população afetada a um hipotético projeto de reposição de matas ciliares. O método utilizado foi o de escolha dicotômica com limite duplo, sob o modelo da distribuição logística. Os dados foram obtidos por meio de entrevistas nas ruas, numa amostra líquida de 930 pessoas com 20 anos ou mais, moradoras de sete municípios que englobam a bacia. Numa primeira aproximação, não se excluíram as manifestações de protesto, resultando em R$ 2,06 como valor médio da disposição a pagar pela reposição de matas ciliares, o que equivale a aproximadamente R$ 274 mil por mês, quando computadas as aproximadamente 133 mil residências na área. Observou-se um grande número de respostas “não-não” de pessoas que atribuem o problema ao governo e agricultores e que suspeitam do mau uso dos recursos pelas agências envolvidas.

description: We developed an experimental platform for studying magnetic reconnection in an external magnetic field with simultaneous measurements of plasma imaging, flow velocity, and magnetic-field variation. Here, we investigate the stagnation and acceleration in counter-streaming plasmas generated by high-power laser beams. A plasma flow perpendicular to the initial flow directions is measured with laser Thomson scattering. The flow is, interestingly, accelerated toward the high-density region, which is opposite to the direction of the acceleration by pressure gradients. This acceleration is possibly interpreted by the interaction of two magnetic field loops initially generated by Biermann battery effect, resulting in a magnetic reconnection forming a single field loop and additional acceleration by a magnetic tension force.

description: By applying the mixed-ligand approach, a new Cu(II)-based coordination polymer formulated as {[Cu2(BTC)(L)]·0.25H2O}n (1) has been successfully prepared by reaction of Cu(NO3)2·3H2O with the 1,2,3,4‐butanetetracarboxylic acid (H4BTC) in the presence of a flexible N-donor ligand 1,6‐bis(5,6‐dimethylbenzimidazol-1-yl)hexane (L). In biological function study, the anti-bacterial activity of compound in vitro and in vivo was evaluated. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of compound on Staphylococcus aureus was measured to evaluate the inhibitory activity against bacterial infection in vitro. The colony-forming unit number detection was conducted to confirm the protective effect of compound in the Catheter-associated urinary tract infections.

description: In electroweak baryogenesis the baryon asymmetry of the universe is created during the electroweak phase transition. The quantum transport equations governing the dynamics of the plasma particles can be derived in the vev-insertion approximation, which treats the vev-dependent part of the particle masses as a perturbation. We calculate the next-to-leading order (NLO) contribution to the CP-violating source term and CP-conserving relaxation rate, corresponding to Feynman diagrams for the self-energies with four mass insertions. We consider both a pair of Weyl fermions and a pair of complex scalars, that scatter off the bubble wall. We find: (i) The NLO correction becomes large for $\mathcal O(1)$ couplings. If only the Standard Model (SM) Higgs obtains a vev during the phase transition, this implies the vev-insertion approximation breaks down for top quarks. (ii) The resonant enhancement of the source term and relaxation rate, that exists at leading order in the limit of degenerate thermal masses for the fermions/scalars, persists at NLO.

description: #FFBosworth F.F. Bosworth was apparently pleased to learn about people fainting and falling in the revival meetings of Evangelist Billy Sunday. The 'falling’ phenomenon was common among Pentecostals. A newspaper reported: “In the men’s meeting, hearers dropped from their seats as the evangelist pictured graphically ‘The Wages of Sin.’ Twenty-one of the men who heard it fell from their seats unconscious. Men fell here and there in all parts of the big building.” This blog post offers an analysis of Bosworth’s comments about Sunday’s revival meetings. It also takes a look at the possible causes of the “falling” phenomenon. #ChristTheHealer

Chaos in the inert Oort cloud

description: Context: Distant trans-Neptunian objects are subject to planetary perturbations and galactic tides. The former decrease with the distance, while the latter increase. In the intermediate regime where they have the same order of magnitude (the 'inert Oort cloud'), both are weak, resulting in very long evolution timescales. To date, three observed objects can be considered to belong to this category. Aims: We aim to provide a clear understanding of where this transition occurs, and to characterise the long-term dynamics of small bodies in the intermediate regime: relevant resonances, chaotic zones (if any), and timescales at play. Results: There exists a tilted equilibrium plane (Laplace plane) about which orbits precess. The dynamics is integrable in the low and high semi-major axis regimes, but mostly chaotic in between. From 800 to 1100 au, the chaos covers almost all the eccentricity range. The diffusion timescales are large, but not to the point of being indiscernible in a 4.5 Gyrs duration: the perihelion distance can actually vary from tens to hundreds of au. Orbital variations are favoured in specific ranges of inclination corresponding to well-defined resonances. Starting from uniform distributions, the orbital angles cluster after 4.5 Gyrs for semi-major axes larger than 500 au, because of a very slow differential precession. Conclusions: Even if it is characterised by very long timescales, the inert Oort cloud is much less inert than it appears. Orbits can be considered inert over 4.5 Gyrs only in small portions of the space of orbital elements, which include (90377) Sedna and 2012VP113. Effects of the galactic tides are discernible down to semi-major axes of about 500 au. We advocate including the galactic tides in simulations of distant trans-Neptunian objects, especially when studying the formation of detached bodies or the clustering of orbital elements.

description: The objective of this paper is to identify some elements which contribute to the entry of small and medium producers into the global market. Specifically, it analyses the case of the greatest Brazilian mango and grape exported region – the Petrolina-Juazeiro (P-J). The conceptual background consists of two approaches. The first conceptual framework is the Global Value Chain (GVC) approach which is mainly concerned with the entry of local economies, from developing countries, into the global market. The second approach is the dynamic capability which is mainly concerned with the way the firm could acquire capabilities. The method selected for the empirical part was the multiple-case studies which were made viable by means of semi-structured questionnaires conducted with mango and grape producer agents from P-J Region in Brazil and European buyers. This study indicates that some institutions have been supporting the export activities in terms of irrigation techniques, new techniques of cultivation, financial support and the introduction of some certificates such as EurepGap. Lastly, the mango and grape producers have been undertaking upgrading of product, process and functional.....O objetivo deste artigo foi identificar os elementos que contribuem para a entrada de pequenos e médios produtores no mercado global. Especificamente foi analisado o caso da maior região brasileira exportadora de manga e uva in natura, a de Petrolina (PE) e Juazeiro (BA). Os aportes teóricos utilizados neste artigo foram: cadeia de valor global e capacitações dinâmicas. O método selecionado para a realização da parte empírica foi o estudo de casos múltiplos. Para a coleta de dados, foram elaborados questionários semi-estruturados e realizadas entrevistas presenciais com produtores de manga e uva, associações de produtores, instituições de apoio localizadas em Petrolina e Juazeiro e compradores europeus de manga e uva. O estudo indicou que algumas instituições vêm apoiando o desenvolvimento da região no que tange as exportações de manga e uva principalmente transferindo conhecimento sobre padrões de qualidade dos mercados consumidores internacionais.

description: A visible light active nanocrystalline trirutile antimonates CoSb2O6, CuSb2O6, NiSb2O6 and FeSb2O6 were prepared by solution combustion method and their visible light photocatalytic activity was reported for the first-time. The as prepared products were in nanocrystalline single phasic trirutile structure. These compounds were synthesized with different oxidant to fuel ratios (O/F = 1, O/F = 0.5 and O/F = 2). XRD confirmed the formation of trirutile structured single phase and Raman spectral modes showed characteristic features of trirutile structure with broadening peaks. UV-DRS confirmed the band-gap decreases with different Oxidant/Fuel ratios. Furthermore, all the products showed good activity in p-nitrophenol degradation while CuSb2O6 showed better activity (98%) than the other products after 3 h. Thus, the presented work is highly extensive to those of UV active antimonate photocatalysts reported in the literature and this work unlocks the way to develop visible light active antimonate based semiconductor photocatalysts for degradation of organic pollutants in wastewater

description: Kerov Hamiltonians are defined as a set of commuting operators which have Kerov functions as common eigenfunctions. In the particular case of Macdonald polynomials, well known are the exponential Ruijsenaars Hamiltonians, but the exponential shape is not preserved in lifting to the Kerov level. Straightforwardly lifted is a bilinear expansion in Schur polynomials, the expansion coefficients being factorized and restricted to single-hook diagrams. However, beyond the Macdonald locus, the coefficients do not celebrate these properties, even for the simplest Hamiltonian in the set. The coefficients are easily expressed in terms of the eigenvalues, and, if so defined, the set of commuting Hamiltonians is enormously large: one can build one for each arbitrary set of eigenvalues $\{E_R\}$, specified independently for each Young diagrams $R$. A problem with these Hamiltonians is that they are constructed with the help of Kostka matrix instead of defining it, and thus are less powerful than the Ruijsenaars ones.
