description: Quasar broad emission lines are largely powered by photoionization from the accretion continuum. Increased central luminosity will enhance line emissivity in more distant clouds, leading to increased average distance of the broad-line-emitting clouds and decreased averaged line width, known as the broad-line region (BLR) "breathing". However, different lines breathe differently, and some high-ionization lines, such as C IV, can even show "anti-breathing" where the line broadens when luminosity increases. Using multi-year photometric and spectroscopic monitoring data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Reverberation Mapping project, we quantify the breathing effect ($Δ$log W=$αΔ$log L) of broad H$α$, H$β$, Mg II, C IV, and C III] for statistical quasar samples over $z\approx 0.1-2.5$. We found that H$β$ displays the most consistent normal breathing expected from the virial relation ($α\sim-0.25$), Mg II and H$α$ on average show no breathing ($α\sim 0$), and C IV (and similarly C III] and Si IV mostly shows anti-breathing ($α>0$). The anti-breathing of C IV can be well understood by the presence of a non-varying core component in addition to a reverberating broad-base component, consistent with earlier findings. The deviation from canonical breathing introduces extra scatter (a luminosity-dependent bias) in single-epoch virial BH mass estimates due to intrinsic quasar variability, which underlies the long argued caveats of C IV single-epoch masses. Using the line dispersion instead of FWHM leads to less, albeit still substantial, deviations from canonical breathing in most cases. Our results strengthen the need for reverberation mapping to provide reliable quasar BH masses, and quantify the level of variability-induced bias in single-epoch BH masses based on various lines.

description: Asymmetric volatility refers to the stylized fact that stock volatility is negatively correlated to stock returns. Traditionally, this phenomenon has been explained by the financial leverage effect. This explanation has recently been challenged in favor of a risk premium based explanation. We develop a new, unlevering approach to document how well financial leverage, rather than size, beta, book-to-market, or operating leverage, explains volatility asymmetry on a firm-by-firm basis. Our results reveal that, at the firm level, financial leverage explains much of the volatility asymmetry. This result is robust to different unlevering methodologies, samples, and measurement intervals. However, we find that financial leverage does not explain index-level volatility asymmetry, which is consistent with theoretical results in Aydemir, Gallmeyer and Hollifield (2006).

description: We report the observation of laser induced birefringence (LIB) in a wavelength-mismatched cascade system (J=0 \leftrightarrow J=1 \leftrightarrow J=0 transitions) of inhomogeneously broadened ytterbium atoms with strong pump and probe fields. We investigate the transmission spectrum of two circular polarization (σ_p^+ and σ_p^-) components of strong probe field at fixed frequency, depending on the detuning of circularly polarized (σ_c^-) coupling field from two-photon resonance. We find that σ_p^+ (σ_p^-) polarized component exhibits a narrow electromagnetically induced absorption (transparency) spectrum. Numerical solutions of density matrix equations show qualitative agreement with experimental results. A Doppler-free dispersive LIB signal is obtained by detecting the Stokes parameter of the probe field, enabling us to stabilize the frequency of coupling laser without frequency modulation.

description: This study is the first to document the long-term welfare effects of household non-traditional agricultural export (NTX) adoption. We use a unique panel dataset, which spans the period of 1985-2005, and employ difference-in-differences estimation to investigate the long-term impact of NTX adoption on changes in household consumption status and asset position in Santiago Sacatepéquez municipality of Guatemala. Given the heterogeneity in adoption patterns, we differentiate the impact estimates based on a classification of households that takes into account the timing and duration of NTX adoption. Our results show that while, on average, welfare levels have improved for all households irrespective of adoption status and duration, the extent of improvement varied across groups, with long-term adopters exhibiting the smallest increase in the lapse of two decades, in spite of some early gains. Conversely, early adopters who withdrew from NTX production after reaping the benefits of the boom period of the 1980s are found to have fared better and shown greater improvements in durable asset position and housing conditions than any other category.

description: For both cases with and without interactions, bipartite entanglement of two-fermions from a Fermi gas in a trap is investigated. We show how the entanglement depends on the locations of the two fermions and the total number of particles. Fermions at the verge of trap have longer entanglement distance (beyond it, the entanglement disappears) than those in the center. We derive a lower limitation to the average overlapping for two entangled fermions in the BCS ground state, it is shown to be $\sqrt{Q/2M}$, a function of Cooper pair number $Q$ and total number of occupied energy levels $M$.

description: Additional file 2. sRAGE levels vary with disease severity. sRAGE values were subject to natural log transformation (sRAGE Ln) due to highly skewed distribution. sRAGE increases as qSOFA score increases. The increase in sRAGE level is significant when qSOFA score increases from 0 to 1, p<0.001 and from 0 to 2, p<0.01 (a). There is a moderately strong significant correlation between sRAGE Ln and duration of hospitalisation, rs (89)=0.375, p<0.001 (b). sRAGE Ln was significantly higher in patients with elevated D-Dimer >0.5 mg/L [U(Nlow D-Dimer=35, Nhigh D-Dimer=77)=2120, z=4.85, p<0.001] (c). A Wilcoxon signed-ranks test indicated that sRAGE during convalescence was statistically significantly lower than sRAGE during acute disease, Z= -0.350, p<0.001 (d). Among patients with severe disease, sRAGE Ln was higher in non-survivors but the difference was not significant, [t(30)=-1.74, p=0.092] (e).

description: This paper proposes a strategic framework for policies to assist smallholders in developing countries. It describes the inevitable features of structural change in the agricultural and rural economy, the associated pressures that these changes place on smallholders, and the consequent need for policies to facilitate rather than impede adjustment. A key premise of the framework is that, for the majority of smallholders, the long term (i.e. inter-generational)future lies outside the sector. Hence, long-term policies need to make a distinction between those who potentially have a competitive future in the sector and those who do not. In either case, many of the necessary policies will not be agriculture-specific, so it is important that agricultural policies are framed in a broader economy-wide framework. In addition, a clear distinction needs to be made between short-term policies to reduce poverty and food insecurity and long-term policies to stimulate development. This is because there are intertemporal trade-offs (as well as complementarities) between policies that are likely to be effective in the short-run, and those promising most impact over the long-term. The paper discusses the role of different agricultural and non-agricultural policies in providing the appropriate policy mix in countries at different stages of development.

description: We begin with a brief comparison of the size distribution of US and EU-15 farms to provide the European audience a greater context to the US issues. The EU data are from the Farm Structures Survey and the US data are from USDA’s Agriculture Resource Management Survey (ARMS). We next address the reasons for the unexpected increase in the number of small farms in the US and the possible role of government policies. We draw on ARMS to provide the distribution of commodity and conservation payments by farm size. Although limits on payments to large farms have long been addressed by the periodic US Farm Acts, payments continue to be concentrated on large farms largely because of their historical ties to farm production. The most recent 2008 Farm Act included more provisions to target program participants based on the personal characteristics of the operators and to limit payments to individuals likely to be operating large farms.

description: The temperature dependence of the band gap of semiconducting single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) is calculated by direct evaluation of electron-phonon couplings within a ``frozen-phonon'' scheme. An interesting diameter and chirality dependence of $E_g(T)$ is obtained, including non-monotonic behavior for certain tubes and distinct ``family'' behavior. These results are traced to a strong and complex coupling between band-edge states and the lowest-energy optical phonon modes in SWNTs. The $E_g(T)$ curves are modeled by an analytic function with diameter and chirality dependent parameters; these provide a valuable guide for systematic estimates of $E_g(T)$ for any given SWNT. Magnitudes of the temperature shifts at 300 K are smaller than 12 meV and should not affect $(n,m)$ assignments based on optical measurements.

description: Vibro-Acoustic Modulation method for detection and characterization of various structural and material flaws has been actively researched for the last two decades. Most of the studies focused on detection and monitoring of macro-cracks requiring well established baseline (no-damage) value of the modulation index. The baseline value is specific for a particular structure, measuring setup, and other factors and can't be established in many practical situations without a long term monitoring looking for a relative change in the Modulation Index. In this work, we propose and investigate a baseline-free Vibro-Acoustic Modulation method, which does not require monitoring of relative Modulation Index change, unlike conventional approach. It was hypothesized that the nonlinear mechanisms (and respective nonlinear response) of a structure are different for undamaged and damaged material. For example: material without damage or at early stages of fatigue have classic elastic or hysteretic/dissipative nonlinearity while damaged (cracked) material may exhibit contact bi-linear or Hertzian nonlinear mechanisms. These mechanisms yield different power law dependencies of Modulation Index (MI) as function of applied vibration frequency input amplitude, B: MI ~ B^b Thus, quadratic nonlinearity yields linear dependence, b =1, and Hertzian nonlinearity results in b<1. Other nonlinear mechanisms yield different power laws. Therefore, measuring power damage coefficient b instead of MI may offer testing without established reference value. It is also offer some insights into the nonlinear mechanisms transformation during damage evolution. This approach was experimentally investigated and validated.

description: Cyber-security garnered significant attention due to the increased dependency of individuals and organizations on the Internet and their concern about the security and privacy of their online activities. Several previous machine learning (ML)-based network intrusion detection systems (NIDSs) have been developed to protect against malicious online behavior. This paper proposes a novel multi-stage optimized ML-based NIDS framework that reduces computational complexity while maintaining its detection performance. This work studies the impact of oversampling techniques on the models' training sample size and determines the minimal suitable training sample size. Furthermore, it compares between two feature selection techniques, information gain and correlation-based, and explores their effect on detection performance and time complexity. Moreover, different ML hyper-parameter optimization techniques are investigated to enhance the NIDS's performance. The performance of the proposed framework is evaluated using two recent intrusion detection datasets, the CICIDS 2017 and the UNSW-NB 2015 datasets. Experimental results show that the proposed model significantly reduces the required training sample size (up to 74%) and feature set size (up to 50%). Moreover, the model performance is enhanced with hyper-parameter optimization with detection accuracies over 99% for both datasets, outperforming recent literature works by 1-2% higher accuracy and 1-2% lower false alarm rate.

description: The paper presents a comprehensive analysis of elastic properties of polystyrene-based nanocomposites filled with different types of inclusions: small spherical particles (SiO2 and Al2O3), alumosilicates (montmorillonite, halloysite natural tubules and Mica) and carbon nanofillers (carbon black and multi-walled carbon nanotubes). Composites were fabricated by melt technology. The analysis of composite melts showed that the introduction of Montmorillonite, Multi-walled carbon nanotubes, and Al2O3 particles provided an increase in melt viscosity by an average of 2 to 5 orders of magnitude over the pure polystyrene. Block samples of composites with different filler concentrations were prepared, and their linear and nonlinear elastic properties were studied. The introduction of more rigid particles led to a more profound increase in the elastic modulus of the composite, with the highest rise of about 80% obtained with carbon fillers. Carbon black particles provided also an enhanced strength at break of about 20% higher than that of pure polystyrene. The nonlinear elastic moduli of composites were shown to be more sensitive to addition of filler particles to the polymer matrix than the linear ones. The nonlinearity coefficient $β$ comprising the combination of linear and nonlinear elastic moduli of a material demonstrated considerable changes correlating with changes of the Young's modulus. The absolute value of $β$ showed rise in 1.5-1.6 times in the CB- and HNT-containing composites as compared to that of pure PS. The changes in nonlinear elasticity of fabricated composites were compared with measurements of the parameters of bulk nonlinear strain waves in them. Variations of wave velocity and decay decrement correlated with observed enhancement of materials nonlinearity.

description: Aspects of the dressed-quark-gluon vertex and their role in the gap and Bethe-Salpeter equations are briefly surveyed using an intuitive model. The model allows one to elucidate why a linear extrapolation to the chiral limit of extant lattice data on the dressed-quark mass-function overestimates this function and hence the value of the vacuum quark condensate. The diagrammatic content of the vertex described is explicitly enumerable. This property is essential to the symmetry preserving study of bound state properties. It facilitates a realistic analysis of vector and pseudoscalar meson masses, and also allows the accuracy of standard truncations to be gauged. The splitting between vector and pseudoscalar meson masses is observed to vanish as the current-quark mass increases. That argues for the mass of the pseudoscalar partner of the Upsilon(1S) to be above 9.4GeV. Moreover, in this limit the rainbow-ladder truncation provides an increasingly accurate estimate of a bound state's mass.

description: The U.S. dairy industry is undergoing rapid structural change, evolving from a structure including many small farmers in the Upper Midwest and Northeast to one that includes very large farms in new production regions. Small farms are struggling to retain competitiveness via improved management and low-input systems. Using data from USDA’s Agricultural Resource Management Survey, we determine the extent of U.S. conventional and pasture-based milk production during 2003-2007, and estimate net returns, scale efficiency, and technical efficiency associated with the systems across different operation sizes. We compare the financial performance of small conventional and pasture-based producers with one another and with largescale producers. A stochastic production frontier is used to analyze performance over the period for conventional and pasture technologies identified using a binomial logit model. Large conventional farms generally outperformed smaller farms using most economic measures – technical efficiency, various profitability measures, and returns to scale.

description: Current-voltage characteristics of resonant-tunneling structures often exhibit intrinsic bistabilities. In the bistable region of the I-V curve one of the two current states is metastable. The system switches from the metastable state to the stable one at a random moment in time. The mean switching time τdepends exponentially on the bias measured from the boundary of the bistable region V_{th}. We find full expressions for τ(including prefactors) as functions of bias, sample geometry, and in-plane conductivity. Our results take universal form upon appropriate renormalization of the threshold voltage V_{th}. We also show that in large samples the switching initiates inside, at the edge, or at a corner of the sample depending on the parameters of the system.

description: We present a new measurement of the cosmic-ray positron fraction at energies between 5 and 15 GeV with the balloon-borne HEAT-pbar instrument in the spring of 2000. The data presented here are compatible with our previous measurements, obtained with a different instrument. The combined data from the three HEAT flights indicate a small positron flux of non-standard origin above 5 GeV. We compare the new measurement with earlier data obtained with the HEAT-e+- instrument, during the opposite epoch of the solar cycle, and conclude that our measurements do not support predictions of charge sign dependent solar modulation of the positron abundance at 5 GeV.

description: We use two comprehensive and representative USDA databases to assess the performance of small farms in the U.S. Farm production is shifting to much larger farms, and the number of small commercial farms is declining. Most large U.S. farms remain family-owned and operated enterprises, and most remain small businesses by U.S. standards. Small commercial farms tend to focus on three commodities: beef cattle, grains and oilseeds, and poultry. On average, large farm financial returns substantially exceed those on small farms, but the range of performance among small farms is quite wide. About one quarter of the nearly 800,000 small commercial farms show very good financial returns.

description: The paper estimates the cost of tsetse control and treatment of trypanosomiasis and the benefits involved, using benefit-cost analysis. It also estimates the extent to which socio-economic characteristics of farmers affect the use of tsetse control techniques, using a maximum Likelihood-Binary Logit model. The results show that farmers will benefit if they invest in control and treatment of the disease. We find that the farmer accepting the challenge that the tsetse fly is a threat to cattle production, the number of dependants the farmer has, and the farmer agreeing that the bite of the tsetse fly causes the nagana disease are significant factors that affect adoption of control practices including the use of prescribed drugs. Our findings suggest that there is potential for farmers’ response and participation in tsetse control activities in Northern Ghana. What seems to be lacking is the relevant information that farmers need to encourage them to participate. We recommend therefore that more extension services be provided livestock farmers to help them derive maximum benefit from disease control practice
Contribution of the non-linear term in the Balitsky-Kovchegov equation to the nuclear structure functions

description: In this paper, we present nuclear structure functions calculated from the impact-parameter dependent solution of the Balitsky-Kovchegov equation with our recently proposed set of nuclear initial conditions. We calculate the results with and without the non-linear term in the BK equation in order to study the impact of saturation effects on the measurable structure functions and nuclear modification factor. The difference of these results rises with decreasing Bjorken $x$ and increasing scale. These predictions are of interest to the physics program at the future ep and eA colliders.

description: The almost ideal demand system (AIDS) is commonly used to study demand for agricultural commodities and groups of commodities. Increasingly, separability has been utilized in conjunction with the AIDS to estimate conditional demand systems as well as to improve upon precision of parameter estimates. The paper shows that separability conditions are inconsistent with use of the AIDS and that tests of separability with the AIDS are problematic.

A Fluid Dynamics Approach to Channel Modeling in Macroscale Molecular Communication

Subjects: subject: Signal Processing (eess.SP)

description: In this paper, a novel fluid dynamics-based approach to channel modeling, which considers liquid droplets as information carriers instead of molecules in the molecular communication (MC) channel, is proposed for practical macroscale MC systems. This approach considers a two-phase flow which is generated by the interaction of droplets in liquid phase with air molecules in gas phase. Two-phase flow is combined with the signal reconstruction (SR) of the receiver (RX) to propose a channel model. The SR part of the model quantifies how the accuracy of the sensed molecular signal in its reception volume depends on the sensitivity response of the RX and the adhesion/detachment process of droplets. The proposed channel model is validated by employing experimental data.

Florida citrus planting decisions: impacts of expected returns and price risks on varietal choice

subject: price risk
subject: expected returns

description: A model is developed to explain Florida citrus planting levels by variety. The varietal choice is based on the expected prices and price variances/covariances of the varieties under consideration. Overall planting returns are maximized for a given level of price risk. The model's price coefficients are similar to those of the Theil and Barten Rotterdam demand model. As in the Rotterdam model, both absolute and relative price coefficient specifications are considered, allowing an examination of restrictions related to the price risk. The empirical analysis considers two restricted specifications -- a varietal independence model, based on the assumption that only the price variances are important for predicting planting levels, and a group independence model that additionally assumes the price covariance for two varieties from the same (different) group(s) is nonzero (zero). Both models substantially reduce the parameter space and may be of interest in situations where lack of degrees of freedom is an issue. A varying parameter model was also estimated, indicating that with growth in the world orange-juice market, orange prices have been perceived to be less unstable, and orange planting responses to changes in total citrus acreage planted and orange prices have been stronger.
Eighth-Order Image Masks for Terrestrial Planet Finding

description: We describe a new series of band-limited image masks for coronagraphy that are insensitive to pointing errors and other low-spatial-frequency optical aberrations. For a modest cost in throughput, these ``eighth-order'' masks would allow the Terrestrial Planet Finder Coronagraph (TPF-C) to operate with a pointing accuracy no better than that of the Hubble Space Telescope. We also provide eighth-order notch filter masks that offer the same robustness to pointing errors combined with more manageable construction tolerances: binary masks and graded masks with moderate optical density requirements.

description: The reflection hump is a prominent feature in the hard X-ray spectrum of active galactic nuclei (AGN). Its exact shape and its correlation to other quantities provide valuable information about the inner and outer regions of an AGN. Our main goal is to study the reflection hump in a large sample of nearby AGN. We aim to investigate the evolution of reflection with absorption and its correlation with the spectral index. We analysed archived NuSTAR observations of the 70-month BAT catalogue AGN. By performing a detailed spectral analysis, we were able to constrain the spectral parameters and to investigate the reflection emission in a large sample of individual sources. The reflection strength was found to be strongly correlated with the power-law slope in unabsorbed sources, pointing towards disc reflection for these sources. Different possible explanations were tested and the most likely one is that the corona is moving either towards or away from the disc with a moderately relativistic velocity. An $R-Γ$ correlation was not detected for absorbed sources. In addition, these AGN feature harder spectra, suggesting intrinsic differences between the two classes or a slab geometry for the X-ray source.
