description: Over the last years,concerns about the possibility that the economic growth may cause deforestation in the Amazon region have been increasing.This work is aimed at studying the relation between income and deforestation by the hypothesis of Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) approach at municipal level in the period from2001-2006. A panel data model with spatial dependence was estimated. Some other variables mentioned in the literature as important causes of deforestation (cattle and agricultural activities, population density and others) were included. The best model specified is the one that includes a spatial error term and spatial spillovers. The relation founded is not the traditional inverted “U” shaped, but an inverted “N” shaped relation.

description: Even though most of the systematic reviews suggest that depression and anxiety are related to poor neonatal outcomes, it is not yet clear whether a dose–response effect exists. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the amount of depressive and anxiety symptoms in a cohort of pregnant women and its effect on their newborns. Two hundred ninety-nine women were assessed for anxiety and depressive disorders and anxious and depressive symptoms at near monthly intervals throughout pregnancy. At the time of delivery, we collected the newborns’ gestational age, birth weight and the Apgar score at 1 and 5 min. Sixty-seven women were diagnosed as depressed and 43 had an anxious disorder. After controlling for confounding variables only the overall levels of anxiety during pregnancy were negatively associated with birth weight (B = −5.76; 95% CI = −10.96, −2.81), suggesting the existence of a “dose–response” effect. The birth outcomes in mildly depressed pregnant women were similar to those of nondepressed women. Anxiety symptoms, beyond a categorical diagnosis, are associated with low birth weight and should be recognized and properly treated during pregnancy.

description: Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) has been used to study the morphology of Ag, Pb and Pb/Ag bilayer films fabricated by quench condensation of the elements onto cold (T=77K), inert and atomically flat Highly Oriented Pyrolytic Graphite (HOPG) substrates. All films are thinner than 10 nm and show a granular structure that is consistent with earlier studies of QC films. The average lateral diameter, $\bar {2r}$, of the Ag grains, however, depends on whether the Ag is deposited directly on HOPG ($\bar {2r}$ = 13 nm) or on a Pb film consisting of a single layer of Pb grains ($\bar {2r}$ = 26.8 nm). In addition, the critical thickness for electrical conduction ($d_{G}$) of Pb/Ag films on inert glass substrates is substantially larger than for pure Ag films. These results are evidence that the structure of the underlying substrate exerts an influence on the size of the grains in QC films. We propose a qualitative explanation for this previously unencountered phenomenon.

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

description: The bosonic string theory evolved as an attempt to find physical/quantum mechanical model capable of reproducing Euler's beta function (Veneziano amplitude) and its multidimensional analogue. The multidimensional analogue of beta function was studied mathematically for some time from different angles by mathematicians such as Selberg, Weil and Deligne among many others. The results of their studies apparently were not taken into account in physics literature on string theory. In recent publication hep-th/0212189 [IJMPA 19 (2004) 1655] an attempt was made to restore the missing links. The results of this publication are incomplete, however, since no attempts were made at reproducing known spectra of both open and closed bosonic string or at restoration of the underlying model(s) reproducing such spectra. Nevertheless, discussed in this publication the existing mathematical interpretation of the multidimensional analogue of Euler's beta function as one of the periods associated with the corresponding differential form "living" on the Fermat-type (hyper)surfaces, happens to be crucial for restoration of the quantum/statistical mechanical model reproducing such generalized beta function. Unlike the traditional formulations, this new model is supersymmetric. Although details leading to the restoration of this model are already presented in hep-th/0312294, the present work is aimed at more focused exposition of some of earlier presented results and is restricted mainly to the description of analytical properties of the Veneziano and Veneziano-like amplitudes. As such, it constututes Part I of our four parts work. Parts 2-4 will be devoted respectively to the group-theoretic, symplectic and combinatorial treatments of this new string-like supersymmetric model

description: GRB 970815 was a well-localized gamma-ray burst (GRB) detected by the All-Sky Monitor (ASM) on the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) for which no afterglow was identified despite follow-up ASCA and ROSAT pointings and optical imaging to limiting magnitude R>23. While an X-ray source, AX/RX J1606.8+8130, was detected just outside the ASM error box, it was never associated with the GRB because it was not clearly fading and because no optical afterglow was ever found. We recently obtained an upper limit for this source with Chandra that is at least factor of 100 fainter than the ASCA detection. We also made deep optical observations of the AX/RX J1606.8+8130 position, which is blank to limits V>25.2 and I>24.0. In view of these extreme limits we conclude that AX/RX J1606.8+8130 was indeed the afterglow of GRB 970815, which corresponds to an optically "dark" GRB. AX/RX J1606.8+8130 can therefore be ruled out as the counterpart of the persistent EGRET source 3EG J1621+8203. The early light curves from BATSE and the RXTE ASM show spectral softening between multiple peaks of prompt emission. We propose that GRB 970815 might be a case in which the properties of an X-ray flash (XRF) and a "normal" GRB coincide in a single event.

description: The three-body $KK\bar K$ model for the $K(1460)$ resonance is developed on the basis of the Faddeev equations in configuration space. A single-channel approach is using with taking into account the difference of masses of neutral and charged kaons. It is demonstrated that a splitting the mass of the $K(1460)$ resonance takes a place around 1460 MeV according to $K^0K^0{\bar K}^0$, $K^0K^+K^-$ and $K^+K^0{\bar K}^0$, $ K^+K^+K^-$ neutral and charged particle configurations, respectively. The calculations are performed with two sets of $KK$ and $K\bar K$ phenomenological potentials, where the latter interaction is considered the same for the isospin singlet and triplet states. The effect of repulsion of the $KK$ interaction on the mass of the $KK\bar K$ system is studied and the effect of the mass polarization is evaluated. The first time the Coulomb interaction for description of the $K(1460)$ resonance is considered. The mass splitting in the $K$(1460) resonances is evaluated to be in range of 10 MeV with taking into account the Coulomb force. The three-body model with the $K\bar K$ potential, which has the different strength of the isospin singlet and triplet parts that are related by the condition of obtaining a quasi-bound three-body state is also considered. Our results are in reasonable agreement with the experimental mass of the $K(1460)$ resonance.

description: A hover-capable insect-inspired flying robot that can remain long in the air has shown its potential use for both confined indoor and outdoor applications to complete assigned tasks. In this letter, we report improvements in the flight endurance of our 15.8 g robot, named KUBeetle-S, using a low-voltage power source. The robot is equipped with a simple but effective control mechanism that can modulate the stroke plane for attitude stabilization and control. Due to the demand for extended flight, we performed a series of experiments on the lift generation and power requirement of the robot with different stroke amplitudes and wing areas. We show that a larger wing with less inboard wing area improves the lift-to-power ratio and produces a peak lift-to-weight ratio of 1.34 at 3.7 V application. Flight tests show that the robot employing the selected wing could hover for 8.8 minutes. Moreover, the robot could perform maneuvers in any direction, fly outdoors, and carry payload, demonstrating its ability to enter the next phase of autonomous flight.

description: The development of the Brazilian agriculture over the twentieth century and at the beginning of this century led to major changes in the production process of different agricultural chains. Coffee in the Cerrado Mineiro region deserves special attention in this context; therefore, it has been established as one of the most modern in Brazil, with the adoption of a set of technological innovations, which has resulted in high yield and quality of the coffee. However, to reach this situation, the production structure has changed significantly since the early 1970’s until 2000. This study aims to point out how such transformations occurred and the consequent impacts on production as well the relations of production and employment. To reach these objectives, data from agricultural census from 1970 to 2006 was used, along with specialized work and field research with the application of semi-structured questionnaires with a representative leadership (from coffee growers and workers) and leading companies in the market of inputs and coffee equipment. The conclusion is that the modernization process of the coffee activity in the Cerrado Mineiro region has caused significant impacts on the generation of employed people, generating new activities and a demand for a workforce which is more qualified.

description: We investigate the properties of the stochastic Gross-Pitaevskii equation describing a condensate interacting with a stationary thermal cloud derived by Gardiner and coworkers. We find the appropriate Ehrenfest relations for the SGPE, including the effect of growth noise and projector terms arising from the energy cutoff. This is carried out in the high temperature regime appropriate for the SGPE, which simplifies the action of the projectors. The validity condition for neglecting the projector terms in the Ehrenfest relations is found to be more stringent than the usual condition of validity of the truncated Wigner method or classical field method -- which is that all modes are highly occupied. In addition it is required that the overlap of the nonlinear term with the lowest energy eigenstate of the non-condensate band is small. We show how to use the Ehrenfest relations along with the corrections generated by the projector to monitor dynamical artifacts arising from the cutoff. We also investigate the effect of using different bases to describe a harmonically trapped BEC at finite temperature by comparing the condensate fraction found using the plane wave and single particle bases. We show that the equilibrium properties are strongly dependent on the choice of basis. There is thus an optimal choice of plane wave basis for a given cut-off energy and we show that this basis gives the best reproduction of the single particle spectrum, the condensate fraction and the position and momentum densities.

description: The linear spin-wave theory study of PbFeBO4 spin dynamics is presented. It is shown that the modes observed in Raman scattering experiments below Neel temperature are optical magnon and two-magnon excitations. Based on the magnon energy, two-magnon band lineshape, and Weiss temperature, the consistent set of the exchange coupling constants up the third neighbor is derived and compared with the results of ab initio calculations. The small deviation of the observed two-magnon band from the one-magnon density of states suggests a surprisingly negligible role of magnon-magnon interactions.

description: In the current EU programming period, rural areas in the North Great Plain region of Hungary will benefit from investment through the New Hungary Rural Development Programme (NHRDP) and the North Great Plain Regional Operational Programme (NGPOP). Using keywords from Section 3.1 of Annex II to Community Regulation (EC) No 1974/2006, we quantified the priority placed in each Programme on topics relating to the horizontal objectives and Axes 1, 2, 3 and 4 of the Rural Development Regulation (RDR). In the NHRDP the emphasis is on Axis 1 whilst in the NGPOP the emphasis is on topics related to the horizontal objectives of the RDR. A similar analysis was carried out on 200 EU Framework Programme (FP) and Interreg projects, which can provide expertise to support rural development in the region. Information about these projects is available on the website www.hvtk.org. The priorities of the FP projects were found to be closely correlated to the priorities of the NHRDP but amongst Interreg projects there was a strong emphasis on topics related to Axis 3. A workshop attended by rural development practitioners from the region demonstrated that the distinctions between regional, rural and agricultural development are far from simple.

description: A bright radio burst was newly discovered in SGR 1935+2154, which exhibit some FRB-like temporal- and frequency-properties, suggesting a neutron star (NS)/magnetar magnetospheric origin of FRBs. We propose an explanation of the temporal- and frequency-properties of sub-pulses of repeating FRBs based on the generic geometry within the framework of charged-bunching coherent curvature radiation in the magnetosphere of an NS. The sub-pulses in a radio burst come from bunches of charged particles moving along different magnetic field lines. Their radiation beam sweep across the line of sight at slightly different time, and those radiating at the more curved part tend to be seen earlier and at higher frequency. However, by considering bunches generated at slightly different times, we find there is also a small probability that the emission from the less curved part be seen earlier. We simulate the time--frequency structures by deriving various forms of the electric acceleration field in the magnetosphere. Such structure of sub-pulses is a natural consequence of coherent curvature radiation from an NS magnetosphere with suddenly and violently triggered sparks. We apply this model to explain the time--frequency structure within specific dipolar configuration by invoking the transient pulsar-like sparking from the inner gap of a slowly rotating NS, and have also developed in more generic configurations.

description: Many semi-empirical galaxy formation models have recently emerged to interpret high-$z$ galaxy luminosity functions and make predictions for future galaxy surveys. A common approach assumes a "universal" star formation efficiency, $f_{\ast}$, independent of cosmic time but strongly dependent on the masses of dark matter halos. Though this class of models has been very successful in matching observations over much of cosmic history, simple stellar feedback models do predict redshift evolution in $f_{\ast}$, and are commonly used in semi-analytic models. In this work, we calibrate a set of universal $f_{\ast}$ and feedback-regulated models to the same set of rest-ultraviolet $z \gtrsim 4$ observations, and find that a rapid, $\sim (1+z)^{-3/2}$ decline in both the efficiency of dust production and duty cycle of star formation are needed to reconcile feedback-regulated models with current observations. By construction, these models remain nearly identical to universal $f_{\ast}$ models in rest-ultraviolet luminosity functions and colours. As a result, the only way to distinguish these competing scenarios is either via (i) improved constraints on the clustering of galaxies -- universal and feedback-regulated models differ in predictions for the galaxy bias by $0.1 \lesssim Δ\langle b \rangle \lesssim 0.3$ over $4 \lesssim z \lesssim 10$ -- or (ii) independent constraints on the dust contents and/or duty cycle of star formation. This suggests that improved constraints on the `dustiness' and `burstiness' of high-$z$ galaxies will not merely add clarity to a given model of star formation in high-$z$ galaxies, but rather fundamentally determine our ability to identify the correct model in the first place.

description: Rural Studies is a network initiative between ten Finnish universities. This paper discusses Rural Studies as an innovative approach for pulling together the limited national resources of academic rural expertise. There are many background factors for the establishment of Rural Studies network, of which two may be mentioned here. First, Finland is regarded to be the most rural country in the European Union, mostly due to its remote position in Northern Europe and very sparse settlement structure. This "rurality" has led to a long tradition of rural research in several disciplines. Second, Finland's EU membership in 1995 consolidated rural policy programming. Networks of rural researchers and planners have been in a key position when rural policy programmes were prepared. The system of higher education in Finland is under the spotlight of many changes, and in this discussion small research areas such as rural studies are not very competitive if they are unable to find new ideas and ways of doing things together. In the future post-graduate education, wider cooperation and creation of rural research programmes, and networking with international rural education and research networks will be focal points in Rural Studies.

description: We study the electronic correlation effects in armchair nanoribbon and nanotube using weak-coupling approach and non-Abelian density-matrix renormalization-group method. We show that upon appropriate doping, the system exhibits a new type of flat-band ferromagnetism, different from the well-known Milke-Tasaki one. The strongly correlated ground state consists of intrinsic magnetic moments of flat-band states and itinerant carriers of dispersive bands, and the exchange coupling between them yields a ferromagnetism. The resultant ferromagnetic state with metallic conductivity has a potential in spintronics applications at nanoscale.

description: The aim of this study is to analyze the theoretical fundaments of the social networks and to present some existing rural development networks in the North-Eastern Development Region in Romania. A successful rural development depends to a very large extent on the partnerships. The existence in Romania of a network of active public and private organizations in the community development area, some with previous experience in community development programs or projects, able and -willing to involve immediately in rural community development, is the starting point for the creation of a rural development network that will evolve in time and within which various changes from different directions will occur, especially as concerns its objects, individuals and institutions involved, actions performed.

description: Climate change will affect agricultural production conditions, which will translate in impacts on yield and cost of production for Quebec farmers. This would likely affect the relative competitive position of Quebec in North America. Using the Delphi technique and partial budgets, climate change scenarios for the 2050 period were elaborated and their impact on relative competitiveness assessed for Quebec and its competitors in North America. Results indicate that Quebec competitive position would improve due to more favorable conditions for corn and apple production and due to worsen conditions for the competitors in maple syrup production.

description: The intercalated water into nanopores exhibits anomalous properties such as ultralow dielectric constant.~Multi-scale modeling and simulations are used to investigate the dielectric properties of various crystalline two-dimensional ices and bulk ices. Although, the structural properties of two-dimensional (2D-) ices have been extensively studied, much less is known about their electronic and optical properties. First, by using density functional theory (DFT) and density functional perturbation theory (DFPT), we calculate the key electronic, optical and dielectric properties of 2D-ices. Performing DFPT calculations, both the ionic and electronic contributions of the dielectric constant are computed. The in-plane electronic dielectric constant is found to be larger than the out-of-plane dielectric constant for all the studied 2D-ices. The in-plane dielectric constant of the electronic response is found to be isotropic for all the studied ices. Secondly, we determined the dipolar dielectric constant of 2D-ices using molecular dynamics simulations (MDS) at finite temperature. The total out-of-plane dielectric constant is found to be larger than 2 for all the studied 2D-ices. Within the framework of the random-phase approximation (RPA), the absorption energy ranges for 2D-ices are found to be in the ultraviolet spectra. For the comparison purposes, we also elucidate the electronic, dielectric and optical properties of four crystalline ices (ice VIII, ice XI, ice Ic and ice Ih) and bulk water.
A Measurement of the Ratio of Inclusive Cross Sections pp->Z+b-jet/pp->Z+jet at sqrt(s) = 1.96-TeV

description: Using the data collected with the DZero detector at sqrt(s)=1.96-TeV, for integrated luminosities of about 180 pb^{-1}, we have measured the ratio of inclusive cross sections for p+pbar->Z+bjet to p+pbar->Z+jet production. The inclusive Z+b-jet reaction is an important background to searches for the Higgs boson in associated ZH production at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. Our measurement is the first of its kind, and relies on the Z->e^+e^- and Z->mu^+mu^- modes. The combined measurement of the ratio yields 0.023 +/- 0.005 for hadronic jets with transverse momenta p_T>20 GeV/c and pseudorapidities |eta|<2.5, consistent with next-to-leading order predictions of the standard model.

description: The vast majority of domestic support to farmers in the European Union (EU) is notified in the World Trade Organisation (WTO) green box as decoupled payments. The EU considers this support to minimally distort production and/or trade. As demonstrated in the literature, this claim is questionable. This paper aims at analyzing this claim using a global, spatially differentiated, partial equilibrium simulation model with endogenous land supply functions. Comparing a complete elimination of the EU green box measures with a baseline scenario, the model results indicate only small distortionary effects in production and trade. Hence, EU support notified to the green box seems to be compatible with the general requirements of the green box. The finding seems to result from the assumption of unchanged EU border policies.
Holographic cosmology solutions of problems with pre-inflationary cosmology

description: In this paper we describe in detail how to solve the problems of pre-inflationary cosmology within the holographic cosmology model of McFadden and Skenderis \cite{McFadden:2009fg}. The solutions of the smoothness and horizon problems, the flatness problem, the entropy and perturbation problems and the baryon asymmetry problem are shown, and the mechanisms for them complement the inflationary solutions. Most of the paper is devoted to the solution of the monopole relic problem, through a detailed calculation of 2-loop correlators of currents in a toy model which we perform in $d$ dimensions, in order to extract its leading dependece on $g^2_{\rm eff}=g^2_{YM}N/q$ and find a dilution effect. Taken together with the fact that holographic cosmology gives as good a fit to CMBR as the standard paradigm of $Λ$ CDM with inflation, it means holographic cosmology extends the inflationary paradigm into new corners, explorable only through a dual perturbative field theory in 3 dimensions.

description: Forests produce a wide array of goods, both private and public. The demand for forest ecosystem services is increasing in many European countries, yet there is still a scarcity of data on values at regional scale for Alpine areas. A Choice Experiment survey has been conducted in order to explore preferences, uses and the willingness of the Veneto population to pay for ecosystem services produced by regional mountain forests. The results show that willingness to pay is significant for recreation and C-sequestration but not for biodiversity conservation, landscape and other ecosystem services. These findings question the feasibility of developing market-based mechanisms in Veneto at present and cast light on the possible role of public institutions in promoting policy actions to increase the general awareness of forest-related ecosystem services.
